Adding Height If You're Under 5'3"

• Avoiding a little girl look is a major concern of petite women. By creating vertical lines and wearing fashions designed especially for the petite figure, you can seemingly add inches to your height.
  
• Wear vertical stripes and small prints.
• Keep dress lengths just below the knee and jackets and sweaters in shorter length as well.
• Wear sling-backs and sleek pumps with matching stockings.
• Don't wear billowy sleeves, large ruffles, prints or horizontal stripes.
• Beware of pants that "sag" making your legs look shorter, and avoid cuffs.
