Proper Dress Style for Petites

As we know, body scale may be petite, average or large. Your body scale will determine the size of patterns, as well as the size of your accessories. Petite figures are generally less than 5’4”. This was actually one of the hardest body shapes to dress to impress before. Now we can dress to impress by doing some work.
Clothing
In dressing a petite figure, never wear anything that cuts your body into parts. Always try to draw attention away from your lower body and towards your face. Accessories like scarves, earrings and necklaces are a brilliant way to draw attention to your face and necklace, and always having a neat hairstyle and fresh make-up will also draw the eye upwards. Everything you wear, from clothes to accessories like belts and handbags must be in proportion to your small frame or you will look overpowered. 
Petite girls are short in height, light in weight. So your main aim is to elongate the height. Long length fitted coats are not suitable. High-waisted trousers are great to lengthen the legs. Necklines shaped in a V are especially flattering on petites because the V-shape draws the eye up and gives the illusion of a longer neck. The wrap dress is a good way to wear a V-neck.

Shoes
With regard to shoes, in our mind, shorter people need to wear very high heels. Any heel over three inches will make a petite woman look like someone who is trying to be taller. Medium height heels work best since they are in better proportion to your frame as well as being more comfortable. Generally your shoes and hosiery should be a similar color. If, for example, you are wearing a blue suit you should pair this with a nude shade of tights and fairly neutral shoes to create a long-legged illusion. 
According to petite star Rachel Bilson, "nude heels" are "great for elongating legs." Everyone doesn't have extremely light skin, so to keep to the same principle, wear shoes with high heels that closely match your skin tone, whether it's light or dark.

Another way to make your legs look longer is to show as much leg as possible. Straight skirts and dresses that end at your knee or slightly above are the most flattering lengths for a petite frame.Such dresses are good for petites because it makes legs appear longer and petites appear taller.
Petites should avoid large accessories and prints as well as oversized t-shirts, frills and horizontal stripes, all of which will make you look smaller.  And if you wish to wear two colors try to ensure that the brighter color is used on the top one third of your frame otherwise you will not look correctly balanced.
The most important for petites is whatever you wear, wear with confidence and smile.
