Riassunto

Here’s what Dressing the Petitie Woman offers: Dos and don'ts. For example: If you’re a small petite, avoid snug-fitting tops and shirts. And stay away from turtlenecks—they’ll hide your neck and make you appear even shorter. Wear shallow V-necks and open collars to make you appear taller. Before and after makeovers. In the eye-opening "before” and “after" photos, you’ll see women transformed before your very eyes. Techniques for dealing with figure challenges. Can a 5'2” woman weighing 250 pounds look elegant? Absolutely! Can a woman with heavy thighs wear pants? Yes indeed! "How to" Advice. If you’re carrying some extra weight, don’t try to hide in black. Place yourself as a “season” in the color scheme of things and watch a whole new world of color open before your very eyes. The practical wisdom in these pages also includes how to accessorize with jewelry, shoes, shawls, and more. Where to shop. You don’t have to visit specialty shops. Most department stores have a Petite department, but you don’t have to limit yourself. Many of us mix and match clothes from the Misses department and the Petite department to meet our specific needs. Shopping tips. Among the practical suggestions: Look for blouses and tops with 3/4-length sleeves and a rounded or V-neck. Dress in a softly draping or straight skirt that shows off some leg (straight skirts should be mid-knee to 2" above the knee; soft skirts should fall about mid-calf). And more! On every page, the petite woman will find answers to looking good by dressing in clothing styles that reproportion her body so she looks fantastic while camouflaging areas she doesn’t want to show.
