Just like any wardrobe for other body shape, it is crucial to have clothes that fit you perfectly and also makes you look amazing. If you want something different than Ann Taylor or Jcrew, check out PetiteDressing.com for gorgeous petite friendly clothing from independent designers. Most especially for petite figure, semi-fitted or fitted clothing looks great compared to loose fitting apparel or any clothes that is too tight.

1. If you are the kind of person that love a loser fit, you can define your waist and add some shape with the aid of a belt.

2. Look for petite friendly dresses that flatter your body type and enhance your assets. If necessary you can find clothes give the illusion of your vertical stripes.

3. If your clothes don’t fit you well, ensure to refit them. Make sure you choose garments that have less detail because the extra fabrics would make it bulky and will definitely make you look heavier than you are.

4. If you want to dress with ruffles, layering or pleats, it’s good to go easy on them yet don’t go too plain. Create a good balance and try to use one tone color or colorful detail with simple outfit. You can also use small size classic cutting with less accessories. And this is also applicable to print and patterns.

Be Very Mindful Of Proportion

Am very sure you can put on any clothing that has the right proportion with your petite frame. Follow a rule called “two-third-one-third” which means that you wear pants that covers about two third of your body while you put on shirt that covers only one-third.

So as to achieve the best proportion with your figure, there is need for you to pay attention to where things fall on your body and this is applicable to the waistline, hem, as well as the sleeves of your outfits.

1. For instance, when you put on crop pants, so as to have the best look, ensure that the pants are not too cropped and the hem hits the ankle or slightly above the ankle area-depending on each personal preference.

2. Make sure that the length of the outfit does not fall on the mid-calf region; you should either go for super-short (above the knee or knee height) or super long (below the ankle or ankle-height).

3. Try to tuck in your cardigans and tops and then add belt to it, or you look for a skirts or pants that that sit at your waist.

4. The two-third rule earlier mentioned means that you need to define your waistline two-third for the lower part of the body. If there is need for you to split your body at the center line, look for belt with skinny version and put on heels to add to your height.

On the other hand, if you want to go for flat or shorter length, choose clothes that sit higher at your natural waist which is below your bust line.

5. The top of the sleeves should sit on your shoulder and the sleeves should not be too long. When you are choosing a jacket or blazer, always ensure the seams sit at the bony tops of your shoulders and that the sleeves hit your waist line exactly. A good idea is a delicate wrists and soft forearms with three quarter length sleeves.

6. For long coat, ensure you pay attention to the length and wear it opened buttoned or go for mid knee length (this is usually above the knee length or miniskirt length)
