Dress models for short women (photo)

Many short girls perceive their height as a punishment. It can be quite difficult for them to choose a dress that favorably emphasizes their figure and does not reduce their height even more. However, adding a dress for petite people to your wardrobe is easier than it seems.

It is important to know a few features and use some visual tricks that will help you add a few centimeters even without using heels.

Rules for choosing a style: what is possible and what is not

In fact, choosing a dress of a suitable style is not so difficult, you just need to follow simple rules and avoid what is definitely not suitable for a short lady.

Fabrics

A dress for a short girl can be made of different materials. For the warm season, it is better to choose an option made of flowy fabric. For winter, models made from medium and high density materials that hold their shape well are preferable.

If you like knitted dresses, then you should consider that they add additional volume due to their thickness. The way out of this situation is a dress with vertical knitting, for example, with small braids or ornaments.

“Little” women It’s better to avoid shiny fabrics, such as satin, and materials with sequins or sequins. Due to reflective particles, they can increase the size of a girl by a size in width, but not by a couple of centimeters in height.

Decoration

A beautifully decorated dress always lifts your spirits. However, some elements can definitely ruin the mood when a short woman looks in the mirror. This decor includes:

• large patch pockets in the chest, waist or hips;
• collars that do not fit the neck, but turn away;
• bows, ruffles, frills and flounces;
• large buttons or buckles.

All these elements, due to their size, visually shorten our height, because against the backdrop of large decor we look even smaller.

Any woman chooses a handbag as an accessory to her dress. This decorative element also has its own requirements. Small ladies prefer small shoulder bags. A large “bag” will play a cruel joke on your height and overall image.

Dress color

Without a doubt, a plain thing will suit a short girl. If cut correctly, it will not create any unpleasant surprises, will not spoil the proportions of the figure and will not reduce height.

As for the specific color, it all depends on the woman’s color type. A little black dress will add femininity and elegance, a red or burgundy dress will add sexuality and passion, and a pastel dress will add innocence and tenderness.

Fashion designers, however, also use several colors in clothing collections for short people.Naturally, this is not forbidden, but be careful with contrasting colors. For example, color-block, fashionable in recent years, can unfavorably divide the figure and shorten the silhouette. In this regard, it is better to choose horizontal rather than vertical color inserts.

Prints

It’s difficult to have only plain clothes in your wardrobe. You always want to brighten it up with a dress with an interesting print. This can and even should be done, the main thing is to follow the following rules:

• if striped, then only vertical;
• if there is a floral print, polka dots, checkered patterns or other designs, then small ones.

Models that make you look taller

There are certain styles or cut elements that make a girl look several centimeters taller. For example:

1. a tight-fitting, A-shaped dress, “sheath” and a knee-length version elongates the silhouette;
2. high or normal waist. The low waist is a thing of the past century. Now it automatically shortens the legs of its owner and makes the figure disproportionate;
3. The V-neck lengthens the neck.

Correcting the growth of different body types using a dress

Each of us is individual, everyone has different figures. Each of them can be adjusted with just the right dress:

• for a pear-type figure, you need to visually increase the top. For example, the product may have horizontal stripes up to the waist, and the bottom should be tight and knee-length;
• "hourglass". Short young ladies with such shapes are very lucky: they can wear almost any dress. Any accent at the waist (for example, a not very thick strap), a V-neck and a sheath cut dress are ideal;
• "inverted triangle" A bell- or tulip-shaped skirt will help correct narrow hips and balance the silhouette.Do not forget - no bulky top;
• "apple". Avoid minis carefully. Give preference to midi or maxi length. Focusing on the belly area will help distract from the V-neck;
• a rectangular body type requires visual expansion of the hips (for example, using an A-line silhouette). Avoid overly tight models and do not emphasize your waist with a belt.
