A Petite Model Joins the Team!

A lot of you have been asking for a petite model to join me on the blog, and I’m thrilled to say, your wish is coming true! My beautiful daughter-in-law Stephanie is 5’3″ and she’s officially joining the 50 Is Not Old team to help showcase how some of our favorite pieces fit on petite frames.

Stephanie is a natural in front of the camera, and she shares fit tips, styling ideas, and movement insights in short videos for each look. The videos are muted so you can scroll in peace, but captions are included so you can chose whether to listen or read the information. Whether you’re petite or not, I think you’ll find Stephanie’s insight super helpful.

Let’s jump into the looks!

Matching Short Sets

Stephanie says this Matching Short Set is super soft with plenty of stretch, and the shorts have a relaxed waistband that sits comfortably without pinching. The medium top has a slightly oversized look, but it still gives her waist some shape thanks to the drape. She styled it casually with New Balance Sneakers, which keeps the outfit modern looking.

Why it works for petites:

  • The shorts are not too long or baggy,no hem dragging!
  • The neckline keeps the upper body balanced and elongates the look
  • The matching set draws the eye vertically, adding height

Stephanie also tried the Short Set in a small, which fit more snugly. She noted the shorts in this size are a little shorter and higher-waisted, which can help lengthen the legs visually. Paired with these comfy Double Buckle Sandals, the whole look feels effortless and ready for errands or a casual day out.

Stephanie’s tip: “If you’re in between sizes, the small gives a more tailored look, while the medium is great for lounging or travel days.”

Versatility – Matching Set Styled Multiple Ways

2 Piece Matching Vest and Short Set (Small)

This olive green Matching Vest and Short Set is the kind of wardrobe staple that quietly does a lot of work. The soft pleats give it an elevated shape, and the shorts are roomy but not oversized, perfect for warmer weather and flattering on petite frames. Stephanie styled it multiple ways, and each look shows just how easy it is to dress this set up or down.

Stephanie starts with this tailored vest-and-short combo, which instantly elevates a casual look. On her 5’3″ frame, the vest hits just at the hip, giving her a nice, balanced proportion. The shorts are slightly longer than the previous set, which she notes helps her feel more comfortable wearing them for errands or casual dinners out. The set has structure, but still enough give for movement.

This one surprised even Stephanie, pairing the Vest with a Maxi Skirt gave the outfit a feminine, modern edge. She loved how the vest helped define her waist and added structure to the flowy skirt.

Stephanie’s note: “Petite women can wear maxi skirts. Just make sure the length doesn’t swallow your shoes, and add some vertical structure on top.”

This look is so effortlessly chic. Stephanie paired the Vest with a crisp white Low-Rise Baggy Short and gold-accented Buckle Sandals. The vertical lines of the vest help lengthen her torso, while the high-rise short keeps her legs looking long. The neutral crossbody ties the whole outfit together and adds a bit of texture.

Stephanie’s note: “I really love how tailored this looks without feeling stiff. The vest lays nicely without pulling, and the shorts give me room to move.”

This look shows just how flexible this little Vest can be. Stephanie layers it under a cropped Faux Leather Jacket for fall with Cuffed Wide Leg Jeans that hit perfectly at her ankle. She notes that cropped jackets are a petite woman’s secret weapon, they help break up layers and keep your proportions sharp.

Stephanie layered the Vest over a Loose Fit Tee for a relaxed but intentional look. She says the proportions still work well because the vest creates a vertical line that flatters her shape. The sneakers keep the look grounded and great for everyday wear.

Stephanie’s tip: “Petite ladies, don’t be afraid to layer! Just keep your base fitted or tucked so you’re not overwhelmed by fabric.”

This outfit is ideal for a casual day out or running errands. Stephanie paired the Shorts with a relaxed striped Off The Shoulder Sweatshirt that dips just slightly off the shoulder for a laid-back vibe. The structured waistband on the shorts balances the looser top, and the crisp white Sneakers keep the look clean.

Why it works for petites: A slightly cropped or tucked sweatshirt avoids swallowing up the torso and keeps your frame defined, even in relaxed styles.

Adding a neutral blazer takes this set from weekend to weekday. The structured vest under the Open Front Blazer gives the illusion of height, while the matching Shorts peek just enough to keep it playful but polished. Stephanie mentions that this would work well for a casual Friday or an elevated lunch look.

This combo feels perfect for a dinner on the patio or a casual work-from-home look that still feels pulled together. Stephanie layered the Shorts with a lightweight knit striped sweater and pointed flats that help visually lengthen the legs. The subtle texture and earthy tones create a polished feel without being dressy.

Stephanie’s tip: “If you’re petite, a pointed shoe can go a long way in helping elongate your leg line, especially with mid-length shorts like these.”

Oversized Shirt With Jeans

Here is the oversized shirt worn with a pair of cuffed jeans. I included this photo so you could see the length of the top.

Bermuda Shorts Styled For Petites

Bermuda shorts can be tricky for petite women. If they’re too long or wide, they can make the legs appear shorter, but when styled right, they’re actually a flattering and modest option for summer. Stephanie tried a few different combinations to show how proportion and fit make all the difference.

Click the speaker to listen to the video

This Striped Oversized Button Up Shirt is meant to have an oversized, relaxed feel, and Stephanie embraced the easy silhouette by pairing it with Bermuda shorts and Pointed Ballet Flats. To avoid looking too “boxy,” she tucked in the shirt and added a belt to the look. The sleeves scrunched to the elbow, helps balance the proportions.

Stephanie’s insight: “If you’re petite, oversized doesn’t have to mean sloppy. A partial tuck and showing a bit of leg helps keep the shape flattering.”

3 Pack Cotton Short Sleeve Loose Fit Tee (Small) | 11″ Stretch High-Waisted Trouser Short | Faux Leather Mary Jane with Adjustable Strap

Sometimes less is more. This final look is a clean, simple combo of a classic cotton tee tucked into High-Waisted Trouser Shorts. Stephanie noted that this tee is lightweight, not clingy, and easy to layer. The monochrome look adds visual height, and the structured shorts help define her waist.

Why it works: A well-fitted tee tucked into long shorts creates a flattering waistline and lengthens the leg, which is key for petite styling.

Can Petite Women Wear Maxi Dresses or Skirts

Boho V Neck Maxi Dress (Small) | Faux Leather Mary Jane with Adjustable Strap

This Maxi Dress is a great example of how a longer hemline can still flatter a petite frame. The v-neckline draws the eye upward, and the cinched waist helps create definition. Stephanie mentioned that the material is flowy but not too heavy, and the length works well with flat shoes.

Stephanie’s tip: “If you’re on the shorter side, look for maxi dresses that show a bit of ankle and have a defined waistline, it makes all the difference.”

Elegant Layers with a Skirt & Sweater Vest

Sleeveless Vest Mock Neck Cap Sleeve Knitwear Sweater | Chiffon Elastic High Waist Pleated Maxi Skirt (Small) | Pointed Toe Ballet Flat Shoes (TTS)

This look feels dressy and pulled together without trying too hard. The Chiffon High Waist Maxi Skirt sits above Stephanie’s natural waist and creates a long, flowing line down to her ankles. She paired it with a fitted sleeveless sweater vest, which adds structure and keeps the outfit balanced.

Why it works for petites: The tucked top and defined waistband create an hourglass effect, while the lightweight material allows the skirt to move and drape without adding bulk.

Petite Styling Tip:

When trying longer hemlines, here are three petite-friendly things to look for:

  • A defined waist (elastic, belted, or cinched)
  • A v-neck or open neckline to lengthen your top half
  • Lightweight fabrics that move with you but don’t add width

Vests, Jeans, and Wide-Leg Pants: Casual Summer Style for Petites

Not every day calls for shorts or skirts. Stephanie styled a few laid-back looks with jeans and wide-leg pants to show that petite women can confidently wear looser bottoms, as long as you’re mindful of length and proportion.

Chunky Sweater Vest with Pockets (Small) | Cuffed Ankle Wide Leg Jeans (Size 26) | Double Buckle Footbed Sandals

This outfit is easy but elevated. Stephanie styled the Chunky Sweater Vest with high-rise wide-leg jeans that are cropped just above the ankle, which is a great way to make wide legs work on a petite frame. She added her Double Buckle Sandals for a soft, neutral finish.

Stephanie’s note: “I love that the vest adds texture without feeling too bulky, and these jeans hit at just the right spot, cropped enough to show ankle but still flowy.”

Casual Style With Wide Leg Pants

Click the speaker to listen to the video

Nothing says summer like a pair of Wide Leg High Waist Pants, and Stephanie pulls this off perfectly. The vertical stripe in the Puff Sleeved Tee adds a little extra height visually, and the high-rise pant cinches in the waist before falling away from the body. She kept the accessories simple, letting the pieces speak for themselves.

Why this works for petites: Wide-leg pants in lightweight fabrics paired with a tucked-in or fitted top can actually make you look taller, not shorter.

Final Thoughts on Petite Style

Stephanie did a beautiful job showing how much range petite women really have when it comes to fashion. From shorts and skirts to maxi dresses and wide-leg pants, the key is finding balance, defining your waist, using vertical lines, and choosing pieces that move with your frame, not against it.

Whether you’re 5’3” or 4’11”, you deserve to wear clothes that fit and flatter you, not ones that need constant hemming or tugging. Hopefully, this try-on gave you some inspiration to try new things and feel confident doing it.

  125. Loved Stephanie’s videos and styling tips. She is just beautiful!

  126. Tania, Stephanie is beautiful and looks great in everything! I love the boho dress and the scarf belt! Happy Tuesday❤❤❤

  127. “A Star is Born”! A beautiful addition! Thanks Stephanie ☺️

  128. Kathryn B says:

    Stephanie is absolutely gorgeous! I’m loving this petite post. I’m 5’1” and have to hem just about everything. Anything purchased on sale I lose the savings because I have to spend it on hemming.

  129. Stephanie did a wonderful job modeling! Thank you so much for showing a petite frame in the clothes she modeled. I have had a hard time looking right in the long skirts and maxi dresses. I am going to try her style tips and see if that helps. Please continue to include petite styling tips and clothes. Thank you from all of the petite women. 5 feet tall 128 lbs. and 75 years old but still trying to be stylin’!

  130. Sharon Maaz says:

    Stephanie is adorable, she was very natural and hope to see her again. I am 5’1”, so yes, I enjoy seeing clothing that is flattering to petites. Always enjoy your posts, keep up the good work.

  131. Your DIL is gorgeous. Love all the looks.

  132. Stephanie did a wonderful job! She’s so pretty! My favorite look was the Bermuda shorts with the oversized shirt. Very classy!

  133. Thank you for the petite post! Stephanie is so cute and I love seeing things on someone more my size. I hope to see more posts like this. If you wouldn’t mind sharing measurements or body type, that’s very helpful. Thanks again!!!

  134. Teresa Dunbar says:

    Stephanie did a great job! Would love to see more petite outfits!

  135. Tania, thank you for having Stephanie do this styling session. I am petite also and I appreciate seeing how these selections actually look on a petite frame. Stephanie is indeed a beautiful woman and she did a fantastic job with both the modeling as well as styling tips, so congratulations Stephanie👏! FYI My daughter in law and my 2 granddaughters have beautiful red hair like Stephanie too!

  136. Loved this post. Us fun sized girls need a lot of help. I just got the stripped top with push up sleeves. Still not to fond of wide leg pants. She did great. Love the pointers.

  137. 🙂 Great job Stephanie! Love the matching outfits and suggestions!

  138. I really enjoyed seeing Stephanie in the Nordstrom Sale try on, and am SO HAPPY to see her again in this petite styling session. I wear petite sized clothes. I would not say I have a petite frame, I am just short (just under 5’2”). Her tips were very helpful and I love the videos of both of you because you can see how the clothing drapes and moves on the body. I feel most pictures by most influencers are taken at their best angle photographically but you don’t get to see how the item moves and hangs as you move. Good job gurls! Please include Stephanie as often as possible!

  139. What a great post! Stephanie is a natural and did so well. I’d love to see more petite styles

  140. Cathy Michel says:

    Yes! Would love more petite styling. I like your outfits but can’t ever wear them as I’m 5’2.

  141. Thank you Stephanie! You did a fantastic job! Please keep including petite fashion too. I enjoy seeing both of you in various styles.

  142. Stephanie did a great job…please ask her to do more for us petite ladies…I’m 5’4 but very small build so people always think I’m shorter than I am…definitely ordering the sweater vest…just trying to decide on color😌

  143. Sheila Sanders says:

    Fabulous job Stephanie. You are darling and I adore your southern voice.

  144. Carolyn (petite) says:

    Hi Stephanie! Another petite here, though you have me beat by 1″. 🙂 You’re so right – not being swallowed up in fabrics, and wearing cropped length tops, are two of the most important points of petite dressing. Otherwise, we can wear anything, as you so beautifully demonstrated. Maxi skirts and dresses, and long flowy slacks, are some of my favorite things to wear. Paired with the right tops (fitted, proportioned), makes a really chic look. Tania, she is a great addition to your blog. I’ll enjoy seeing all of her upcoming petite friendly posts. 🙂

    1. I’m so glad everyone is embracing her. She really is the sweetest thing, and her taste and style is fabulous.

  145. Great job! I’m only 5’2″ so I really appreciate this.
    I thought the cute little socks that Stephanie was wearing with the NB sneakers were adorable. Can you give details on them?

  146. Your DIL is beautiful and she is a natural in front of the camera. Love the outfits and the advice she gives in styling. I really like her style. Thank you ladies!! Looking forward to more! (I am petite). Have a wonderful day ladies!!

  147. She did a great modeling job. 🙂

  148. She did a great job. 🙂

  149. Ava Murray says:

    Thank you so much for doing a petite blog! Stephanie did an awesome job! I hope there will be more!

  150. Stephanie did great! Finally a blog option for us 5’3″ women. I could not see videos, and the volumn was very low, but I would love to see Stephanie and the format continued.

  151. Loved seeing the petite styles, but I couldn’t get the video to work. Could only hear talking, no actual video.

    1. I’m sorry you had issues. It probably has to do with your provider since most people can see them.

  152. Stephanie nailed it!! She’s a natural!! And BEAUTIFUL!!!!

  153. Stephanie says:

    As a petite I liked seeing this. Stephanie did a marvelous job. My mom was from SC so I especially enjoyed hearing the accent!

  154. Wonderful job showcasing the versatility of pieces. I’m not petite but ended your post.❤️

  155. Welcome, Stephanie! You did a beautiful job of styling for us petites! Thank you! I’m 64 and the exact same height and size as you so I’m thrilled to have you on the blog. Love the first 2 outfits. Might just have to buy one or both.

  156. Thanks for the petite blog. Stephanie did a great job!

  157. Found it!
    Great videos and I really like all the different styles with the green shorts set. Also, love the colorful maxi skirt and turquoise tassel necklace.
    Awesome job Stephanie.

  158. Nicely done! My favorite is the green vest with ivory skirt. So cute.

  159. Becky Kerwin says:

    Yes! More petite please! A shorter gal just can’t walk into a store and buy a pair of pants or even get the right length of shirts, so yes I appreciate this blog! Thank you!

  160. 🙂 Love the pleated maxi skirt outfit. Stephanie is a great model.

  161. Kathy Laweryson says:

    found it 🙂

    Stephanie is so lovely! I have also embraced Bermuda shorts. I like my capris but I find the Bermuda shorts give me a longer leg appearance.

  162. Nancy Darden says:

    : ) Thank you Stephanie! Petites need the visual and a voice!

  163. Danette Enzminger says:

    😃 lots of cute outfits and ideas.

  164. Mary Kinard says:

    What a great addition to the blog! As a petite woman myself, it is so helpful to see items modeled by someone “my size”. Stephanie did a great job!

  165. April Congleton says:

  166. 😊I am petite myself. I liked all of the outfits that Stephanie was wearing.

  167. 😊 Stephanie is such a pretty girl and did a great job showing these outfits. She was great in the videos too! It helps showing how the clothes look on. I’m a little over 5’ 4” so I appreciate her doing this!

  170. This is fabulous! I always wanted petite styles from you. Stephanie is beautiful and I look forward to more styles from her.

  171. I’m more your size Tania, but this was really great and Steph did a wonderful job. My daughter is petite and this gives me lots of ideas.

    Also like it when your assistant does a try on haul with you at j jill!

    1. Megan unfortunately isn’t working for me at the moment. She is a care taker for her mom, so I’m not sure if she will be able to come back any time soon.

  172. Susan Lindsay says:

    A very good job! Gave me inspiration for cute summer outfits! I love seeing some of the skirts on a petite girl since I am also petite! Love the picks Stephanie and you did a fantastic job! Videos were very helpful!

  173. Love the addition of Stephanie!
    Would she be willing to share her measurements/body description like you do? It helps me when I’m selecting sizes.😊

  174. Dorothy Kennedy says:

        Keep it up Stephanie…😊
