Dresses For Your Body Shape: Delicate Petite

If you find that you are often too short or too slender for clothes, you need to wear dresses that flatter your narrow frame, rather than swamp it. Complimentary wedding dress styles include; sheath, narrow A line, top half embellishments. Sheen fabrics & tea length dresses. If you are a delicate petite bride then avoid trumpet and ball gown styles.

  • Wear a simple sheath or narrow A-line style, dresses with a waistline cut slightly above your natural waist will elongate your silhouette, making you look taller.
  • Keep embellishment on the top half of the body, such as beading and small bows, this will help draw the eye up.
  • Unlike most other figures, you can take a fabric with sheen.
