- 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.
What to wear?
Flattering Tops
- 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. - For top layers, shop for single-breasted, princess
cut, belted trenches to mid-thigh puffers.
No, Nos!
- Over sized tops and swing coats.
- Try to stay away from the big, over-powering
prints and patterns.
Bottoms
- 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 your weekend jeans, go for low-rise and
fitted around the waist and hips. Boot-cut or
straight are the best style for elongating. - Pin-stripe pants lengthen the legs and are
excellent for work attire.
No, Nos!
- Throw out the skirts that are way too full or too-
long. - Pants that are too wide or cuffed at the hem
make you look shorter than you really are.
Dresses
- For cocktail or casual sun-dresses, pick v-neck
lines. They automatically elongate the figure. - Empire waists, sheaths, or shirt-dresses
gathered at the waist (but not too full) are
perfect for the petite frame. - Details on the bust-line lengthen and draw the
eyes up.
No, Nos!
- Don't settle for trapezes or blousy dresses.
- Be cautious when picking out a long dress. It may
swallow you.
What about those swimsuits
- Halter tops draw the up and enhance the bust.
- Shop for allover patterns and string bikinis
- Lucky for you...the side-cut out one-pieces are
perfect for your figure. Love these! - Show off those curves! You have it! Flaunt it!
No, Nos!
Throw-out the little girl swimsuits. Show off those
womanly curves!
