Hi, my name is Susan Jacobs a Personal Style Image Consultant and I'm here on behalf of
Expert Village to talk about dressing the petite body. In this clip we're going to talk
about fit. Fit is extremely important especially if you are petite. When I refer to fit I mean
sleeve length, we mean shoulder width, we mean the bodes. We're talking about fit in
the hip, too tight or too big, both are relevant. When you're petite you can be overwhelmed
easily with things that are flowy and don't flatter and don't follow the curve of your
body. You can tell if the sleeves are too long if their hanging below your thumb line.
Shoulder pads are great for some shapes, but if they're too big they can overwhelm a petite
body. The garment I have here I have found in many of my clients wardrobe. It is very
non unstructured, which means it doesn't follow the body line at all. What garments like this
do in fact is add weight, they make the petite body look shorter and definitely wider. If
you have something like this in your closet, now you know if you're petite you shouldn't
wear it.
