Maxi dress for short girls: 6 tips

Send

It's no secret that long dresses look especially good on tall and slender ones. But do not be upset if you are not tall - with the help of our tips you can choose the perfect maxi dress for yourself!

For many seasons in a row, various maxi dresses that we love so much for their beauty, grace and convenience do not go out of fashion. Putting on such a dress, we straighten our shoulders and straighten our back, raise our chin, and our eyes become softer, more feminine and attractive!
Of course, a maxi dress on a thin skinny woman will look a priori stunning, but do not rush to be upset if your height is far from model. In addition to huge and uncomfortable heels, there are several other ways that will help to adjust the image.

7 ways to make legs visually longer

1. Vertical lines

Such a print visually “draws” the figure, therefore, when choosing a maxi dress, be sure to pay attention to the direction of the lines. As a “side effect”, the vertical lines will take along a couple of extra pounds.
Why does this work? It’s all about optical illusion: the human eye determines the horizontal distances much more accurately than the vertical ones, and in addition, it matters in which direction our gaze slides.It is enough to compare a square consisting of vertical lines and a similar figure of horizontal stripes to notice that the first square seems narrower and taller. Wearing a dress with a similar print, you "force" others to follow the lines along the lines in the right direction, thereby creating an optical illusion.

2. Asymmetric hem and section

• Kaftan dress • Zaful • Dress with detachable skirt
To show a little exposed skin is always a good decision if you understand the word “a little” as adequately as possible. With the help of a cut and an asymmetric bottom, you set your depth along with it, which creates the effect of higher growth than it actually is.
Both of these options almost without fail require a heel, at least a small one.

3. "In the mold"

• Susana monaco • Sammydress • Urbn Outfitters
If your figure, despite his short stature, can boast of ideal proportions, and indeed you are only happy to demonstrate your physical shape, choose a dress that will sit on you like a second skin.
The ideal length is ankle-deep or on the floor. Do not choose models ending in the middle of calves, because on the contrary you will only lose in growth.

4. Monochrome

• Popcherry • Reformation • Esther boutique
But not anyhow, but close to the shade of your skin. This is the same technique that prescribes choosing shoes in beige, nude shades if you want to visually lengthen your legs.
Making a choice in favor of such colors, we get rid of unnecessary transverse lines that divide our figure into segments, giving them a limited length.

5. Fine print

• Dress with a double skirt • Empire style dress • Free-cut dress with understated armholes •
By itself, a small print will have practically no visual correction of your figure or height, but the main thing is to prefer a small print to a large one. Flowers, blots and abstract figures of too large volumes will make you lower, but they can add volumes.
Well, if you do not mind such an effect! Otherwise, choose smaller flowers.

6. Cutout "heart"

The “heart” neckline looks very feminine, but in addition it performs two more important functions - firstly, it visually lengthens the neck, and secondly, it concentrates the attention of those who look at the bodice of the dress.
If you complement the neckline with an elegant pendant and / or long earrings, the effect will be even more pronounced.
