Despite most models standing tall at 5'8" and above, height isn't actually a fashion limitation. Whether you are plus size or straight size, there are plenty of short girl fashion rules to break. I myself am a fat short person, and that is something that will not change until I get older and get even shorter. My grandma, who was also 5'1", dipped down to 4'11" in her later years.

Where to buy plus size clothes for teenagers

And while I believe that plus-size women can wear anything, one of the hardest personal struggles that I have had to overcome in my self-love journey has been plus-size shorts.
