I look forward to every box I receive. My short story pieces are some of my favorite things to wear and they always fit perfect.

Another site that wastes your time with a 10 minute quiz. The exact button I clicked said “find your perfect fit.” Instead, at the end, it was like “enter your credit card and buy a box.” Maybe I’m petty, but I keep falling for CTAs that pretend they’re going to give me some value but don’t deliver. It’s getting OLD.

Thank you so much for your feedback! We're so sorry to hear that the style quiz/sign up portion was not clear. The quiz is meant to build your fit + style profile so your stylist understands what pieces to send you. We would love to have the opportunity to send you your perfect fit!
I was impressed from the start! Received my 1st box full of clothing I love:) most of it fit like a glove. Will definitely be back to order another short-story for my 4’11 full figure frame! Thanks again, Natalie! You rock, Amy B.

Hi Nicole, Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us! We are so happy to have you be a part of our story :)
I accepted 2 boxes. I gave them detailed notes about fit and color preferences. Each time colors were beige and gray when I specifically said I look good in jewel tones: I kept one item from each box since I paid for the styling fee. I cancel immediately after second box feeling that the stylist didn’t take any of my information into consideration.

Hi Kathryn, Thank you for sharing your story with us. We are so sorry to hear that your second box was not what you were expecting, It does look like you kept 4 pieces from your first box! We would love to help you find that success again! Please look out for an email from us to collaborate on your next chapter.
I love Short Story! Each box of clothing is totally customized for me - size, style, any specific item requests I might have, and price range too. Customer service is fast and responsive whenever I have a question too.

Hi Paula! Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us! We love that we've nailed your style :) Thank you for being a part of our story!
I love that the clothing is made to fit my frame. No more cuffing sleeves or dealing with pants that are way too long! I can't wait to get my next box to see what my stylist selected for me. I bought my 1st box, then a 2nd box a week later, then a 3rd box a week later. I've kept items from every box and returns are really simple and easy!
