I stand tall (pun intended) at 157cm and know what it\u2019s like to struggle with dresses that don\u2019t quite fit the right length. Maxi dresses on me? Forget about it. Most times they drag, although I have found one exception in my travels to Hong Kong where it cinched at the waist and was the perfect length! Suffice to say, that\u2019s the only maxi dress I own.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s face it, most of the clothes we see in our favourite fashion stores and made for the average woman, and that\u2019s at least 5 feet 5 inches. It\u2019s rare to find stores that carry a petite section, but when I do spot it boy am I excited!<\/p>\n<p>I love how brands are slowly recognising the need to celebrate petite women in all their compact glory. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pamper.my\/news\/lifestyle\/fashion\/topshop-and-topman-now-available-on-zalora-malaysia\/\">Topshop<\/a> is one exception, but the price point on those clothes means I often have to be very selective about my purchases.<\/p>\n<p>With that in mind, I always keep in mind what styles look great on petite women &#8211; we can\u2019t afford to just pick anything off the shelf and try to wing it. Choose wisely and that will pay off.

The Fit and Flare<\/h3>\n<div>This is my personal favourite and I currently own more than 3 dresses in this style. It does wonders for the petite woman &#8211; as it fits just where it needs to. The fact that the flare is narrower means it doesn\u2019t drown us and makes the fact that it is tight around the waist creates the illusion that our legs are long.

The Shirtdress<\/h3>\n<div>I never thought this would look great on me since it might just look like I\u2019m wearing an oversized men\u2019s shirt. But I was proven very wrong when I gave it a try. Go for styles that are above the knee and it creates the illusion that our legs are miles long. If you want to create an even more flattering look, use a belt around you waist to create some definition.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<figure id=\"attachment_10688\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10688\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pamper.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/image1xxl.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-10688\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pamper.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/image1xxl-803x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Image: asos.com\" width=\"640\" height=\"816\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pamper.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/image1xxl-803x1024.jpg 803w, https:\/\/www.pamper.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/image1xxl-118x150.jpg 118w, https:\/\/www.pamper.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/image1xxl-235x300.jpg 235w, https:\/\/www.pamper.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/image1xxl-696x888.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.pamper.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/image1xxl-329x420.jpg 329w, https:\/\/www.pamper.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/image1xxl.jpg 870w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-10688\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image: asos.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<h3>3. The Midi<\/h3>\n<div>Another personal fave! This dress isn\u2019t quite a maxi nor is it a knee length dress. It\u2019s mid-way and looks amazing on us smaller women, somehow creating the illusion of a longer calf. Find a well fitted dress and pair this with some sneakers and voila.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<figure id=\"attachment_10689\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10689\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pamper.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/image1xxl-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-10689\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pamper.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/image1xxl-2-803x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Image: asos.com\" width=\"640\" height=\"816\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pamper.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/image1xxl-2-803x1024.jpg 803w, https:\/\/www.pamper.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/image1xxl-2-118x150.jpg 118w, https:\/\/www.pamper.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/image1xxl-2-235x300.jpg 235w, https:\/\/www.pamper.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/image1xxl-2-696x888.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.pamper.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/image1xxl-2-329x420.jpg 329w, https:\/\/www.pamper.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/image1xxl-2.jpg 870w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-10689\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image: asos.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<h3>4. The Shift<\/h3>\n<div>Just like the Shirtdress, this works in a similar way creating the illusion of mile long legs.

The Drop Waist<\/h3>\n<div>I haven\u2019t tried this look yet but I think I will after seeing some of these amazing looks. It\u2019s a great dress for those with shorter torsos (like me). The dress distracts from the waist line which gives you the illusion of a long line of sight. Check it out on Victoria Beckham!<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<figure id=\"attachment_10692\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10692\" style=\"width: 322px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pamper.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/drop-waist-dress-victoria-beckham.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10692\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pamper.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/drop-waist-dress-victoria-beckham.jpg\" alt=\"Image: sosueme.ie\" width=\"322\" height=\"594\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pamper.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/drop-waist-dress-victoria-beckham.jpg 322w, https:\/\/www.pamper.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/drop-waist-dress-victoria-beckham-81x150.jpg 81w, https:\/\/www.pamper.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/drop-waist-dress-victoria-beckham-163x300.jpg 163w, https:\/\/www.pamper.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/drop-waist-dress-victoria-beckham-228x420.jpg 228w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 322px) 100vw, 322px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-10692\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image: sosueme.ie<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>There you have it fellow petite ladies, now let\u2019s go out there and show em what we\u2019ve got.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8211; Cover\u00a0Image: racked.com<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Also read:\u00a0<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pamper.my\/news\/lifestyle\/fashion\/blazers-and-how-to-wear-them\/\">Blazers and How to Wear Them<\/a><\/strong>;<br \/>\n<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pamper.my\/news\/lifestyle\/fashion\/fashion-tips-to-wearing-leggings\/\">Fashion Tips to Wearing Leggings<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you want to talk petite, then I\u2019m game.
