4 dress styles to AVOID as a petite: ✨ Midi dresses that hit mid-calf Mid-calf lengths cut the leg at its widest point, which can visually shorten your height. If you love midi dresses, look for ones that hit just below the knee or closer to the ankle. ✨ Oversized or shapeless dresses Boxy, loose silhouettes can drown a petite frame and hide your natural proportions. Without waist definition, they can make you look smaller than you are. ✨ High-contrast horizontal patterns Bold horizontal stripes
