Selecting the Perfect Petite Dress

Most women dream of being able to choose the right dress easily and quickly, but the fact is that it can be a headache to pick among the many petite dresses available (we are very indecisive). There are a number of things to consider when selecting the perfect dress no matter the occasion, garden parties, picnics evening cocktail parties or a night out on the town with the girls, but with some effort this task cam be accomplished very easily.. 

On this note, the first thing that you should check on is the colour of the dress which you have your eye on. The colour among various petite evening dresses that you look at should flatter and match the tone of your skin; you wouldn’t want to be seen in a bright orange or yellow dress when you have really olive skin colour because this only enhances your skin colour. What you want to do is find a colour that is subtle and simple... (Elegance and simplicity is always key).. If you have light coloured skin, avoid a petite dress in shades of orange and red. The only thing that those colours would achieve is making you look a little bit weird, the worst of it is that you wouldn’t even know something went wrong when you look in the mirror.



To add to the colour the dresses design and style are also other important factors to consider when picking out a dress. When you choose a dress, it is vital that you pick one that fits your body shape nicely. The worst thing to can do to you is pick a dress that will not flatter your figure or shape. For women that are bootyful picking a dress that isn’t too tight on your body will be a preferred option.  Ladies who are petite in size look nice in A-line type evening dresses and should stay away from the bell shaped ball gowns. These are now considered old fashioned and tend to sallow your figure, so be aware of this.

Choose dresses that have thin or no straps at all, especially if you are larger at the bottom portion of the body or you may want to go with a dress that has a draping bustle, to bring attention to your upper body instead. On this note, there are many who have issues in the stomach area and if this is your case, then you should think about getting a dress that has an empire-like waist or one of corset style.  For those who are less than happy about their arms, they should stay away from strapless, as well as sleeveless dresses and instead go for sleeves that are short or laced and see-through types.


All women would agree that the most important thing about dresses is how comfortable they are when worn. With this said, keep in mind that even the best looking dresses do not bring comfort, so if and when you try a dress on, see to it that you walk and move around before making a sound choice. There are plenty of dresses that will meet your needs as well as the theme of whatever occasion you plan on attending. So ladies lets go out there this summer and pick the right dresses to fit both our bodies and the occasion.
