What Style Dress is best for Petite?

Petite shoppers often look great in dresses that create a balanced silhouette, such as wrap dresses, fit and flare styles, and dresses with vertical seams that lengthen the body visually. Choosing a hem length that hits above the knee or a well proportioned midi can also help maintain a flattering line for a petite frame.
