Good things Come in Small Bundles
April 5, 2009 by Womens fashion Team ·
You know what they say about good things coming in small bundles? well as far as body shaped are concerned that’s true. Look at Cheryl Cole, she’s the perfect example of how to take advantage of her petite frame.
The key think here is to look taller, and that means making your legs appear longer.
Tops Empire line tops are just great for creating the illusion of longer legs. try fan and bow detailing to draw the eye upwards. To add some volume, go with flutter sleeves in bright block colours.
Bottoms You need to lengthen your legs, the best two ways to create this illusion is to go with dark trousers, and sneak a pair of high heels under them, but of you keep the shoes the same colour as the trousers, then that’ll do the trick. Second is go short with your skirts, minis and tulips are great! The more leg you show the longer your leg looks, ideal for the summer.
Dresses Again You’ve got a choice of how to wear dresses to your best advantage. Following the fashion of bold colours, go for simple dresses featuring at least two block colours, again this is ideal for your summer dresses.
You could also go for the ditsy print tea dresses which absolutely perfect for your frame, and give a really delicate feminine look.
Jeans Best shape for your jeans are bootcut or straight, these styles are shaped and will flatter your body most, but remember to go for maximum leg length with a pair of high sandals or heels to give you the height you require to best show off your profile.
Shoes and AccessoriesLike your frame, accessories should be small and neat, so for example, dainty clutch bags in bold colours are perfect. Try out a long necklace which adds symmetry and draws the eyes vertically down. As mention above, shoes are critical to give height, so high heels are good, but with skirts and dresses, strappy sandals are also good.

If like Colleen Rooney you’re a woman with the larger hips, you’re a classic pear shape, but crucially a great classic figure that a lot of women are envious of.
Your emphasis should be to balance your hips with the rest of your voluptuous torso, so that means adding width to your shoulders and as a result make your body more proportional.
Dressing Tips
Tops – Try those which draw the eye up from your hips, so that means going for detailing such as bows or runching or a bold print.
Also try puffed or asymmetrical sleeves to broaden shoulders. Fitted tops streamline your profile and show off your shape.
Bottoms – Keep the bottom half of your body darker than the top, that way you’ll slim down your lower torso. A-Line skirts and wide trousers are a dream for you to wear as they hug hips and skim thighs.
Dresses – Dresses that follow your body, but flare out at the lower half are ideal for you. Best shapes are tulip and belted shift dresses. Hitched style and bubble hem dresses also make your lower half appear smaller.
Jeans – Best shapee is Boot cut with their slight flare, which adds width to your legs lower half, and slims the profile, slim it even more with heels. Go for dark wash colours to slim your leg profile.
Shoes and Accessories – The use of statement necklaces and earrings will draw attention up. Heels will help slim the profile even more. Try nude coloured shoes with bare skin or nude coloured tights to make your legs look even longer.
