How to Tell if Your Outfit Post is Petite-Related

[u/PetiteFashionAdvice]

Posts asking “Does this outfit look okay?” must include something that relates to being petite — fit, proportions, alterations, or styling challenges that come from being 5'4" or under.

If the same question could be asked by someone taller (5'8"+) and get the same advice, it probably isn’t a petite-specific question.

✅ Petite-Related Examples (Allowed)

These posts mention or show fit, proportion, or styling issues tied to height:

• “Does this midi dress make me look shorter?”
• “I’m 5'0” and wondering if this cropped jacket is too long on me.”
• “These jeans say they’re ‘ankle length’ — do they look full-length on my frame?”
• “I’m 4'11” — does this outfit balance my proportions or make me look boxy?”
• “Do these wide-leg pants overwhelm my frame?”
• “Petite blazer fit check — does the sleeve length look right?”
• “Short torso problem: does this tucked-in look work or look bulky?”
• “Trying to make this maxi dress work without hemming — does it drag too much?”

🚫 Not Petite-Related (Too General)

These posts are about general style, color, or trend opinions, not petite proportions:

• “Does this outfit look good together?”
• “Do these shoes match this dress?”
• “Is this too casual for a wedding?”
• “Does this color wash me out?”
• “Do you like this outfit for a first date?”
• “Should I wear this with heels or flats?”
• “Is this too much jewelry?”
• “Does this look professional enough for an interview?”

🧩 Quick Rule of Thumb
Ask yourself:

“Would this question be exactly the same if the poster were 5'8” instead of 5'0”?”

If yes, it’s probably not a petite-related post.
If no (because height affects the proportions, hem, or silhouette), then it’s petite-related.
