For instance, pick a nice shirt and a skirt over a dress. A dress may fit your bust or your hips, but you may have trouble finding a dress that fits right in both places. However, with a shirt and skirt, you can get each piece to fit perfectly.

Choose a skinny belt, as it adds shape without cutting your body in half visually. Another option is a wrap-around dress. The wrapping effect and the built-in belt make it easy to tailor it to your body.

The curvier you are, the more trouble you’re going to have getting a perfect fit with ready-made clothes. Every person’s body is different, so getting those curves right can be difficult for manufacturers.

Choose an outfit with a fitted waist, for instance. Pick something you feel good in!

For instance, large ruffles at your shoulders can make you look top-heavy, while a gathered skirt can make you look bottom-heavy.

For instance, try a v-neck sweater paired with an a-line skirt and knee-high boots.

Large shoulder bags add width to your body, drawing attention to your petite size. Plus, they add visual bulkiness to your hips and shoulders.

Make your outfit a bit more interesting by choosing different textures for the items in your outfit. For instance, try a black wool sweater with a leather skirt.

For instance, try a pair of high-wasted skinny jeans that hug your curves. When wearing high-waisted pants, highlight the fact by tucking in your shirt or opting for a top that’s a bit shorter.

Choose a pair that hits the top of your shoes.

Be sure to go for an a-line skirt that’s a bit fuller than average to help highlight your curves.

For instance, try a brown skirt with brown knee-high boots. Add a pair of matching tights.

Aim for a skirt that’s about mid-thigh. Pick outfits you’re comfortable in! If you feel a little uncomfortable in just a mini skirt, go for a bit longer length or add a pair of leggings underneath.

For instance, try a tucked-in shirt with your maxi skirt.

Another option is choosing shoes with pointed toes, as they also make your legs look longer.

Remember to wear what you love! If stripes aren’t your thing, choose something else.
