Tent Dress for:
Petite women
Do's:
Wear your size. Nothing too big. Nothing too small.
Wear proper length. Anything reaching up-to your knees or an inch above or below the knee may make you appear taller. You can also wear those in mini lengths.
Go for lighter colors and thicker fabrics for a broader look.
Try the ones with buckles, details, pleats, ruffles or frills at the neckline to add volume to your narrow body frame.
Wear those that may feature a narrow belt, if you can get hold of one, to accentuate your waist and appear curvier.
Wear vertical stripes, designs or patterns. Wear small clumsy and scattered prints.
Tents that are short but wider at the hemlines may camouflage narrow hips.
Dont's:
Anything falling up-to your mid calves or below may mar your look and make you appear leaner.
Avoid dark colors, gigantic prints and horizontal patterns.
Accessories:
Wear narrow belts. Big ones may overwhelm your personality.
Delicate pieces of jewelery, long necklaces, clutches or smaller handbags may all look good.
Wear high heels, kitten heels etc.
