Fashion Tips for Plus Size Petite Women

Most petite size women have a difficult time finding clothing that fit them well. That is because there is a limited amount of clothing that is available. It is even more difficult for a woman that is petite plus. Although many retailers will cater to plus size women, they may limit the amount of petite plus size clothing that is available. What can you do if you are petite plus to make the most out of your size? Here are a few tips that you would want to consider.

Compromise - If you are petite plus, you may be able to use regular size clothing in unique ways. For example, many petite women who are plus sized use regular sized Capri pants as the perfect pants for them. An additional example would be a very short skirt for a woman who is considered "regular size". This may fit you around the waist well and it may be low enough that it could be considered a moderate dress. Don't be afraid to try on regular size clothing to see what is going to fit for you.

Apply vertical colour dressing. Create the illusion of vertical length by dressing in a single color or shades of from head to toe. One color will help to de-emphasize problem areas by elongating your silhouette. E.g. outer vertical line colour - a solid colour jacket left open, paired with pants of the same colour or inside vertical line - a top and matching colour bottom with contrast colour jacket.

Get Vertical. Making use of vertical line & design in clothing will create the illusion of a slimmer you.
• You can visually slim down by 10 kg's (22 lb's) with every vertical line you make use of.
• The most effective vertical line is one that will divide an area of your body in 2 equal halves e.g. a crease down the center of a pair of pants, a row of buttons, a zipper, a seam.
• Select vertical patterns and prints
• Fluid fabrics that skim curves rather than stretch or heavy fabrics.
• To help elongate the neck, wear tops with an open neckline such as v-necks.

Beware light & bright- these colours will enlarge a particular area. If you are larger from the waist down select your dark colours to be placed at the bottom - lighter colours on top.

Wear the right underwear. Buy a body sculptor- sucks everything in and makes you look kg's slimmer. Get your bra measured - the correct fitted bra can make you look thinner.

Discover your personal style and display it with confidence! The key to selecting a great outfit is knowing what your style is.Be Yourself - Just because you fit into a category that has limited choices does not mean that you need to make the same choice as every other woman that is petite plus. There is a lot of room for individuality, especially if you are able to think outside of the box. Try to develop your own style that fits your personality and stick with it. It is likely that you will be able to find the clothing that is right for you when it is in a specific style.
