Short Story sends subscribers five clothing items monthly or at a frequency of their choice for $25 per box. Each item is designed for people who are 5'4 or shorter. Items range from casual to formal options. Regardless of what you get, subscribers only pay for what they choose to keep from each box and can send back the other items. With that being said, subscribers can apply the $25 fee toward the items they choose to purchase, if any.
However, those looking to subscribe must first take an online style quiz detailing what colors, styles, and sizes they prefer to wear. The quiz also allows people to choose price ranges should they want to purchase any of the items that they receive. Short Story partners with multiple clothing brands and hopes to introduce subscribers to new brands, which they may not have considered if shopping at a store. The company also has its own clothing line based on feedback from subscribers.
