Top Tips for making the most of your petite size

Monday, May 12th, 2008

Here are our tips for making the most of your petite frame:

Sky scraper high heels - Wearing a heel at over 2 inches will lengthen your body and not just your leg, they will make you stand taller making your torso look longer

Clothing Alterations - Getting your clothes altered to show off your own body shape is key. Long suit sleves and trailing hems are a big no no.

Low-rise Trousers - Lower waisted petite trousers or jeans will make your torso look longer, if you have a petite upper body.

Long Heel Covering Hems - For the illusion of longer legs make sure your hem comes over your shoes and hangs about an inch above the floor.

Big Hair - It’s all in at the minute so why not make the most of it by having a quiff, back combing and pulling longet hair into a high ponytail.

Vertical Stripes - Want to look taller then get an petite outfit that incorporates vertical lines. We aren’t talking about the kind on a football strip but subtle vertical lines are perfect.
