ONE style coach specializes in creating the illusion of a lengthy figure with clothing.
The five-foot-two-inch woman styled a petite and curvy client to demonstrate her fashion tips.
YouTuber Chi Li (@PetiteDressing) posted a videyoutube.com/watch?v=rMkgXGRwa-Y”o in which she covered all the ways you can make a “short and chubby” figure look long and lean.
Chi introduced her client Bianca who typically wears a size large.

“When you’re short and chubby, you’ve got a lot of curves, fuller bust, bigger hips, and thicker thighs.
“So, a lot of times it can be really hard to find clothing that can fit you,” Chi proclaimed.

“They actually make you look even bigger and shorter,” she said.

“Whenever you’re wearing a longer item, that vertical line is going to lengthen and elongate,” the style master proclaimed.
