I'm 5'5 140 ibs with a medium broad build. Decided to give Abbreviated a try after seeing all the rave reviews and bought the Fishmeran's Crewneck in both sizes xs and small to be safe. The materials are amazing quality but the fit was disappointing.

It's the same story as literally every other store i've tried. XS is right length but too tight to be comfortable, while S has the right bagginess but is too long, so it drapes over my body in an unflattering way. Seeing the rave reviews of the sweater, many of whom are my exact height and weight, makes me think i'm just super unfit or have strange body proportions. I thought Abbreviated would help me finally build a wardrobe but now idk what to do.

5'3" here and I've been on a mission to find fabrics that can survive carry on travel for destination events. Had a beach wedding in mexico last summer and ruined my first dress choice by sitting in it on a long flight. Switched to a plissé midi last minute and the difference was very visible. Pulled it straight out of my bag and you'd never tell I haven't ironed it.

The crinkle texture of the fabric is basically built in wrinkle forgiveness hahah which I did not know was a thing until I accidentally discovered it. As a petite person the other bonus is that plisse midis tend to have a lot of natural movement which photographs well outdoors and doesn't make you look stiff.

Midi on a petite frame hits differently depending on construction and the flowy ones tend to work better proportionally than structured midis imo. Anyway if you're packing for a destination event and stressed about wrinkles, plissé is genuinely the answer. Has anyone found other fabrics that hold up as well?

HI, Guys, I'm collecting the body measurements of my user on my site so my site can automatically recommend the right clothes and pants based on their exact measurements. Except these 6 fields, what other info do you think I need to make the AI recommendation work better?

The site is still on its early stage and no AI feature is integrated yet. If u are curious, check out my site below. It offers mainstream brands for shorter guys.

Hi, Guys, I built this site to offer mainstream brands for shorter guys living in the USA. At present, I only offer Nike for men around 5.5feet and 5.2 feet for USA shipping. I intend to expand to more brands, heights and markets in the future. Check it out. If you have any suggestions, please let me know.
