Deciding what top or shirt to wear is easy. Literally—putting on a shirt is easier than wearing your tight jeans. If you are petite, choosing a midi-length dress looks like a lot of work. Well, it’s understandable given the grumpy and oversized nature of many midi-dresses. But it shouldn’t have to be difficult.

These days, midi-dresses are made in all sizes and styles. The most stylish type ends at calf-length and may come with all sorts of flattering cuts. Follow these tips to choose the right dress for you.

Decide on Length

The best size for a midi-length dress is one that hits slightly below your calves. If the dress doesn’t cover your calves, it may appear stumpy. For a petite person, an ultra-long length won’t look good either.

Emphasize on your Waistline

While dresses that hide the waistlines make plus-sized women look fabulous, they have the opposite results for petite women. You will look out of style and the dress won’t impress as you may have wished. Emphasize on your waistline by choosing a fitting dress or a skirt with a narrow waistline length.

Streamline

For the color code, choose the same hue from the heat to toe. It gives an impression of an elongated silhouette. For better results, accessorize your outfit. Midi-dresses look better if they are simple. Avoid any with unnecessary details.
