Tips: Basic silhouettes and styles of long dresses suitable for petites
What kind of long dresses are more suitable for petites? In fact, you can subdivide them from the length and silhouette of the dress. In terms of the length of the dress, long dresses that are a little below the knee or a little above the ankle are more suitable for petites. If you feel that you can’t hold up this length, you can skillfully use the silhouette of the dress. For example, long slit dresses or irregularly symmetrical long dresses. Although these long dresses are long in length, due to the special treatment at the hem, a part of the leg skin will be exposed, making the legs look thinner and longer, and not easy to lower the height.
For long dresses suitable for petites, the drape of the dress should be stronger. Simply put, the hem of the dress should not be too fluffy, otherwise it is easy to look fat and lower the height. Let’s take a specific look at which long dresses are suitable for them.

Pleated Skirt
In autumn and winter, it’s better to wear a pleated skirt. The hem of the pleated skirt is wrinkled and it is easy to modify the leg shape when worn, which is friendly to girls with thick legs. Narrow pleats look slimmer and are easier to modify the leg shape than thick and wide pleats. The drape of the pleated skirt is generally very strong, so it is very suitable to wear. Petite girls can also skillfully choose a pleated skirt with an irregularly symmetrical hem at the hem, so there is no need to worry about lowering the height. It is fashionable and slimming.

Floral Dress
Floral dresses in spring and summer can also be worn in autumn and winter, but they are only suitable for when the weather is relatively warm. Most floral dresses are mainly made of gauze, and their material is a little thinner, so the drape is strong and they are particularly slimming when worn. Petite girls can choose to wear a short top to match the floral dress. In terms of materials, a slightly thicker knitted sweater or sweatshirt can be matched with it. A thick top paired with a light and thin long dress will make the outfit more layered and easier to highlight the high waistline.
- Leather Skirt
The leather long skirt is different from other materials. Its material is thicker and harder, so it has a very good warming effect when worn. Precisely because its material is thick, it is inconvenient to wear a long leather skirt. Therefore, most leather long skirts are mainly slit designs, which can easily solve the problem of inconvenience in wearing. Petite girls can wear a slit leather long skirt, which is the easiest to show a tall figure. The straight tube silhouette leather long skirt can be paired with a loose short top on the upper body or a fitted short top, but remember to expose the high waistline. Leather long skirts are mainly in dark colors. Common black and dark brown leather long skirts give a sense of heaviness when worn. The upper body can appropriately choose light-colored tops, such as off-white knitted sweaters or white sweatshirts. Light-colored tops paired with dark-colored skirts can easily raise everyone’s line of sight.
