Dress Length: Tea-Length

Below are some suggestions for fabrics (but these are by no means exhaustive!): Medium weight woven fabrics - Satins will be the best fit for this costume and I generally lean towards heavier satins like matte/duchess satin and peau de soi

Styles to Avoid Heavily tiered or ruffled maxi skirts, which can overwhelm a smaller frame Low or dropped waistlines, which shorten the leg line Oversized prints or horizontal stripes, which work against the vertical-line effect you want Best Colors, Prints & Necklines Best colors: black, navy, emerald, champagne, and soft pastels all create a slimming, elongating effect Best necklines: V-neck and sweetheart necklines are the most universally flattering for petite frames
