Many small women categorically reject maxi dresses while shopping. "I sink into it anyway" or "that makes me look even smaller," it says. We quickly remove these thoughts from our heads. The fact is: Petites can wear long, flowing dresses. You just need to do a few tricks.
1. Maxi is not the same as maxi
Note: Maxi does not mean maximum length. Clothes that touch the floor or go over the ankles are actually not optimal. Models that end just above the ankles are better, thus exposing the beautiful fetlock. This gives the whole thing some air and you don't feel like you're sinking into a flowing dress.
2. Find your middle!
Find your middle! We don't mean like yoga. We are talking about the middle of the body, which should be emphasized when wearing maxi dresses. To do this, strap a belt around your waist and cheat your legs longer. The waist trick is also excellent for shaping a stretched silhouette. Perfect!
3. Sexy insights
Cheat yourself bigger with a slit on the side of the dress. The incision breaks through the material, exposes your legs and makes them appear longer, which in turn makes the overall picture appear larger. The trick also applies to the neckline. A low-cut cleavage also stretches the silhouette.
4. It's colorful!
You can let off steam in the choice of colors! You only have to keep one thing in mind. The upper part of the dress should never have a different color than the skirt. That would split your body in half and make you look smaller. Otherwise, you also have a free choice of patterns and prints. Where stripes are your best friends!
