Sheath Dress for:
Petite Women
Do's:
Flattering, clean, straight lines may help the petite shape women appear taller as the lean shape contributes to the length.
Wear the ones done in empire lines or A-lines.
Wear the off-shoulder ones with sweetheart necklines to accentuate your bust-line and show off your collarbones and toned arms.
Ones with bateau neckline or key-hole necklines also accentuates the lean shoulders and bust-line.
One-shoulder sheath dress with or without ruffles, both, look good.
Wear the ones with vertical patterns and lighter shades like peaches, creams, browns.
They may be most unforgiving to those with a heavy top or a heavy bottom. A pear shaped lean body may appear balanced by getting some volume at the top by incorporating ruffles, frills, details, laces, beads, bows etc.
Belts may help you define waists and appear curvier.
Dont's:
Avoid wearing those with a fuller skirt that they may make you appear disproportionate.
Do not wear broad belts.
Accessories:
Wear long statement necklaces like rope necklaces for an elongated stature.
Carry a clutch bag. Wear kitten heels and high heels to appear taller.
A brooch or pin carefully tucked above your bosom may attract attention away from a heavy bottom of a pear shaped lean body.
