Keep everything as high as
possible - hairstyles, hemlines and bosoms included!
|
|
Keep your silhouette as slim
as possible, avoiding very full, long skirts and particularly those that
have any detail, such as a border pattern, at the hemline.
|
|
Stick to straight-leg or
even tapered trousers to lengthen the leg. Avoid wide-leg styles.
|
|
Avoid turn-ups on trousers
which have the effect of shortening the length of the leg.
|
|
Head-to-toe dressing all in one colour can add
the illusion of several inches to a less-than-average height |
|
Chopping yourself into many colour 'blocks' -
red hat, white blouse, red belt, navy skirt, natural tights, red shoes -
can be a disaster on petite women. |
|
Think medium-to-small for scale of accessories - medium scale if you are large boned or overweight; small scale if you are small-boned or underweight.
|
|
A small woman is much better in several layers of fine lambswool than one thick, chunky cable-knit sweater.
|
|
Avoid flat or very high heels. A medium heel will give you an extra inch or two whereas a very high one draws attention downward and just looks like you’re trying too hard! |
