Petite Señoritas and Maxi Dresses - Tips on How to Make it Work
I was browsing some magazines today, looking for a suitable get up for a pool party I’ll be attending this weekend when I saw Kim Kardashian looking so sassy in a maxi dress. This señorita is really hot!
Then I realized… a maxi dress is the perfect outfit for the pool party! What are the ingredients for a perfect pool party? Hmmm...a couple of glasses of orange granitas perhaps?A set of naughty two-piece bikini underneath so in case I accidentally fall on the water, I can pull off just the dress. Wink* wink*

Okay...Lemme go over Styletips101's Checklist for Wearing Maxi Dresses for Petite Women like me.
- Choose a style that is well cut and avoid tent-like diaphonous skirts, to prevent being swamped.
- In Zoe Manzi’s Daily Mail article, “Maxi dresses – the must-haves this summer “, she advises shorter women to “avoid being drowned by your maxi by making sure your dress is well cut and in proportion with your petite frame. Keep things fitted up top and avoid an overly voluminous skirt.”
- “To stop a full, long skirt from swamping you, teem it with chunky heels and a fitted waistcoat.” is the fashion advice from In Style magazine, UK Edition April 2007.
- Choose a close fitting empire line maxi dress which flatters most figures.
- Choose a sleek, stylish A-line or bias cut, as this style flatters shorter silhouettes
- For extra height, dresses can be accessorized with patent platforms, wedges or feminine toe-covered sling backs.
- Set-off these dresses with long, chunky jewelery and this season’s over sized shades and bags.
What do you think señoritas? Ain’t my plan fabulous?

hi there, thanks for always visiting my site. I thought I had left a comment on this post. I don't have the luxury to shop for nice outfits anymore, with 6 kids around, I go to thrift store, :( I am a fan of plain and solid halter tops though :)
