Long-line knits are snugly and warm, and look striking, but if you’re petite or shorter than average, this look can be overpowering and make you look shorter. Try to stick to knits that finish no lower than your mid-thigh area.
Knit dresses are a feminine classic on a petite figure
Fitted knits will show off feminine curves. This look works well on smaller-framed women, giving the illusion of a fuller bust and wider hips.
When looking for knits that flatter the fuller figure, asymmetrical or uneven hemlines are a must, creating longer, leaner lines.
Shrugs are an essential layering garment for any body shape. If you’re petite, stick to fitted styles that
can be knotted at the waist to give shape over a dress. Fuller figures look fantastic in three layers – a shrug with a mid-length tunic and a long skirt or leggings.
