Petite Figure Header

If you have a petite figure, you are not one size fits all. There are many differences in this body shape. Use this guide to suit yourself. Petite figures usually are shorter in stature and are proportionate. If you are curvier but are still petite in height, check out the curvy shape page. If you are a thinner petite woman, the triangle tops and the thinner bottoms compliment your shape. In general here are suggestions that will suit you best:

  • Stay away from higher waisted options as they will make you look sorter
  • Wear suits higher on your hips
  • Wear triangle tops that take the focus off your neck (with a closed neckline it can make you look shorter)
  • Halter tops and fun embellishments are a fun addition

Option 1: Suits For Smaller Chested Petite Figures

Not all women have bigger chests, even if they are a certain body shape. This is why women are confused when looking for suits. They are not in ONE category. In fact, many don’t. So if you are one who is blessed with a smaller top-half, try a swim top with:

  • cute straps
  • a halter top
  • more coverage on the chest between your boobs to lessen cleavage
  • embellishments
  • ruffles
  • padding to give the illusion of a larger chest
  • bright colors help

Option 2: Suits For Bigger Chested Petite Figures

You can still rock out a great suit with a bigger chest size without letting it get in the way.

  • thicker straps for ease on the shoulders
  • bands that are double stitched so they last longer
