Short Story Box Reviews

I love the pieces I've received through Short Story and some of the pants I've received have been the best fitting pants I've ever tried on. I thought my stylist did a great job of putting together actual outfits and listening to my needs. I've given her a lot of feedback, and it's clear that she reads it each time. They have excellent customer service and always get back to me promptly. I highly recommend checking out Short Story if you're petite.

Customer service was ok, but the quality of clothing that they sent me was abysmal. I was visibly let down. I was annoyed that they even thought that what they sent was acceptable. I could easily go to any local store & buy better for less, but while still taking into consideration my color & size preferences. One thing that was wrong was that the sizes were approximately correct, but the cut of the clothing was such that it was kind of sloppy. I had debated posting a picture of myself in one of the outfits, because I look really bad in it, but I'm actually on PC anyway, and said pic is on my phone, so that might be a moot bad idea. I guess maybe it IS worth sticking with StitchFix's higher prices for higher quality. I did a really stupid thing with Short Story, and that was to not return the box in time. I have never done that before, I'm so annoyed with myself. Lesson learned.

I'm a petite woman with some curves and shopping for clothes is a huge pain in the butt. My pants are always past my ankles and the sleeves are more often than not too long for my arms. Somehow the fit is never right. Why are brands going crazy with their sizing these days? My friend recommended Short Story to me and I've been super happy with what they've sent me. You tell them your sizes, what you like, what you don't like. They send you PETITE pieces that actually look good on shorter ladies. They also take the time to read all the comments you leave unlike some of the other styling services. I found two new pairs of jeans (didn't have to get them hemmed!), a few tops, and one dress that I would have never picked out for myself but my husband said looks great on me. Love Short Story!
