Ball-gown Dress for:
Petite Women
They look the best on Petite women with average height or taller.
Much like the A-line silhouette, ball gowns flatter almost all body types.
Do's:
Wear A-line ball gowns or Empire- line gowns that feature moderate fullness.
The extra flares and pleats added at the waist may help your narrow hips look wider and make you appear more curvaceous.
Details at the neckline like bows, buckles, frills, ruffles, pleats, embellishments etc may add volumes to your upper body part.
Wear the ones that feature spaghetti straps or puffed sleeves to camouflage your lean shoulders.
Lower cut necklines like sweetheart, deep square, deep- V or scoop necklines may add length to your small stature and expose some décolletage.
Sweet heart necklines may accentuate your bosom and make you appear curvaceous.
Off-shoulder necklines may look good on pear shaped body with wider hips and leaner shoulders. Wear those done in halter neck line to camouflage your narrow chest, shoulders and arms.
If you need a little help then go for a good plunge bra to create the desired shape.
Dont's:
Women with petite body frame may get lost into the the excess fabric.
Also, the skirt may cut the body frame into two and make you appear tinier.
Accessories:
Wear high heeled sandals or kitten heeled sandals with embellishments to match your gown.
Wear Slingbacks or ballet flats, if you are very tall, or fetish sandals to match your ball dress.
Wear precious gemstones at places to draw attention towards the best of your body parts. A chunky piece of solitaire may grab all the attention. Wear couture vintage collection for a timeless and exotic look.
A rich, elegant and timeless neck piece like a Choker or Princess may give a classic look and draw attention away from your small bust area. Opera necklaces may add vertical length to your body.
Matinee necklaces may draw attention your bosoms. Avoid wearing them if you have a smaller bust size.
