" Hey Seventeen! Style Council Jessi here! I know how much of a struggle it can be to find clothes that are flattering for your body type, so I&amp;#039;m here to help! Through trial and error, I have discovered a few sure-fire tips and tricks when it comes to how to dress my petite frame. I&amp;#039;ve found that it is best to wear v-neck t shirts, as they elongate my neck. I also like to wear blouses that hit just at the hip, making my torso seem longer! I tend to stay away from bottoms that are too wide or jeans that are cuffed at the bottom \u2014 I think both of those styles make me look shorter than I really am (and I can&amp;#039;t afford that...I&amp;#039;m only 5&amp;#039;2&amp;quot;!). I love wearing cocktail dresses and sun dresses, especially if they have that deep v-neck line. When you&amp;#039;re petite, you have to be wary of certain trends. For example \u2014 maxi dresses are HUGE this year, and I love them! Unfortunately for me, though, a maxi skirt makes me look shorter than I am! So instead, I wear maxi skirts that are shorter in the front and longer in the back. They&amp;#039;re a great statement piece and they&amp;#039;re way more flattering on me, especially if they&amp;#039;re high-waisted. I hope you found these tips helpful! Know your body, dress it well, and go with what you&amp;#039;re comfortable in! xoxo Jessi Sign the Body Peace Treaty! "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
