All women like to look their best in their clothes. For petite
women, the two most important issues that help us feel good
are to appear leaner and taller. Appearing slimmer and
giving the illusion of more height gives us petite ladies more
confidence and style.

1.Well-fitted clothing is extremely important to create the
illusion of less volume in the waist and shoulder region. Our
shift dresses are designed with smaller shoulder widths for
the petite frame and a tailored waist to create an hourglass
silhouette. All Jeetly garments have a tapered look ranging
from our shift dresses to our skirts. Always avoid garments
that are too heavy in fabric and loose fitting as this will
make small framed women look heavier than they really
are.

2.Petite clothing with vertical lines are essential in
elongating the body; vertically striped fabric and vertical
seam lines also do the trick. Our Grey shift dress
(AMANDA) accentuates this from behind the with two
vertical seams lengthening the body and petite physique so
that onlookers' eyes tend to be drawn to looking up and
down rather than side to side. The same effect is achieved
with our pinstripe shirts STELLA and SONIA where the
striping is subtle and narrow and are a perfect design for
lengthening the petite torso. Thick/wide pin stripes may not
be in proportion with a small body frame along with too
many stripes which is why our shirts strictly abide to this
rule. www.jeetly.com

3. Vertical fabric panels as seen in the peplum dress will
amplify length when placed at the centre of the dress. The
DAVINA dress has a slightly longer peplum with subtle
stiffening to give it a lengthening structured look. Pleats on
shirts also contribute to giving height especially if they are
narrow and near the middle of the garment as found in our
ANITA shirt.

4. Select clothes with a V-line look about them as they
create an illusion of length. The VICTORIA dress has a V-
neckline to elongate the torso and also keep within mainline
trends.

5. Avoid mini skirts and dresses especially for work. Hems
of short skirts will fall on the larger part of the thigh and
therefore exaggerate shorter legs. All Jeetly dresses fall on
or below the knee which gives a professional yet slender
appeal making legs look less stumpy.

6. Thin belts make all the difference when wearing a dress.
Thick belts will keep the focus on the mid section and
create a large horizontal line across the waist shortening us
petite women even more. If you do wear a thick belt make
sure that isn't contrasting in colour as this will cut the figure
in half so either keep the colour consistent or use a narrow
belt.

7.Wear garments in one colour and avoid busy prints.
Consistency in colour will keep the line uniform and make
us look taller but not necessarily monochromatic. Jeetly
shift dresses are all one palette colour to avoid swamping a
petite frame.
