Petite Body Frame
- You are well-proportioned.
- You sometimes feel short and stubby and you're not sure why.
- You are 5'3" or under.
- You still want to dress just as grown as taller women but not be over-powered by the clothes.
- You want a closet full of clothes that elongates your small frame.
How to dress Petite?
- Blouses that go just past your waist are most flattering. If the top hits right at the hip, it lengthens the mid-drift.
- V-neck and scoop-neck tops are fabulous basics.
- Belted wraps and fitted blazers create that grown-up look.
- Try to stay away from the big, over-powering prints and patterns.
- The classic a-line or pencil skirt is a must for most professional or formal occasions.
- Skirts with a hemline just above the knee are best.
- For jeans, go for low-rise and fitted around the waist and hips. Boot-cut or straight are the best style for elongating.
- For dresses, pick V-neck lines
- Details on the bust-line lengthen and draw the eyes up.
