Hi, my is Susan Jacobs a Personal Style Image Consultant and I'm here today on behalf of
Expert Village to talk about dressing the petite body. In this clip we're going to talk
about pant length for petite woman. It's always important no matter what your size, to have
your slacks long. Anytime you can elongate your look it will add height and when you
look taller you also will appear to look slimmer. In the pant that my model is wearing, because
she is fairly short we like the stitching down the side which draws the eye down to
the pointy pump which also draws height and that makes my model appear taller as well
as slimmer, not that she needs to look slimmer. In this case this is a great look. We also
need to talk about pant cuffs. When you wear your slacks making sure that they're long
and touching the top of your foot if you're going to opt for a cut, it shouldn't be wider
anymore than one inch. When the eye is drawn down which it would be with the cuff on a
pant, that usually adds a little of width which results in a little wider look. So keep
that in mind when trying to buy a pair of slacks.
