The fashion industry has at last acknowledged that we are not all a perfect size 8 and 5 feet 9 inches tall. They now offer ranges to suit the taller lady, those with a fuller figure and the more petite amongst us.
Petite ladies fashion ranges are cut with the smaller lady in mind. Adjustments are made to the trouser and skirt length, the waist positioning and the sleeve length. Even if your favourite fashion shop does not offer a dedicated petite range just stick to these golden rules and you’ll ensure you are a fashion hit.
Choose a skirt length than falls just above your knee, mid calf lengths will make you appear shorter. Jackets should be fitted and finish at the waist. Avoid long sleeved shirts, unless you are confident that the sleeves will look great turned up, shorter sleeves are more flattering. Tunic tops should be avoided at all costs, choose pretty fitted tops in pale shades. Vertical stripes will flatter, horizontal stripes widen and bold patterns will swamp your petite figure. Happy shopping.
