Fitting Room Friday: Petite Woman’s Dress



Petite ladies are unjustifiably darling. Follow these rules and I pledge to refuse the urge to pick you up and put you in my apron pocket.

Choose blouses (and ensembles for that matter) that aren’t too sweet. You are a fierce, adult woman; not a doll.

This necklace is the perfect balance of rugged and lady-like. And it’s delicate princess length allows those under 5 ft 3 inches to make a statement without being overwhelmed.

Over the last 12 months, designer denim in petite lengths is no longer an anomaly. Going forward, no excuses will be accepted for dragging, cuffing, or rolling. Hem if you must, and aim for a long uninterrupted line from hip to ankle.

Height isn’t as important as presence. Putting on 4″ heels can make a delicate frame look like she’s raided her progenitor’s closet. Instead choose an appropriately sized kitten heel. If you want additional leg length, try a D’orsay cut.

Finish off your ensemble with an appropriately sized bag. If the shoulder strap is removable (like this one) amputate it. Stick with shorter straps, and nothing larger than the width of your hips.
