Women who are petite, as well as have curves, need to us their clothing to lengthen their bodies as much as possible, while also reducing the look of it volume. There are some general rules for women whose figure fit this description. To be able to hide the figure of a short curvy body, there are a few tips you can follow.

1. The number one focus needs to be on lengthening the look of your body. The most common error that petite women commit when it comes to their wardrobe is to cut their bodies in two with short jackets and belts. The attention gets drawn to the shortness of your body if you wear a jacket that stops at your waist, a belt on the top of your pants or over a blouse at the waist, because it put the body into two sections. Instead strive to create complete lines to make you look longer.
2. Do not wear more fabric in the waist area then needed. If you have curves then you will already have enough volume in this area to manage, adding more will only bring attention to this area.
3. It is a common myth that extremely long skirts will lead to your legs appearing longer. In reality these baggy and long skirts do the opposite. Long skirts only make you look taller if they are straight and stop at the ankle.
4. A good way to make your legs appear to have more length is to wear pants (trousers / jeans) that have a straight cut and cover high heel shoes or boots. If they come almost to the floor, it will make your legs appear to be the length of the shoes, the taller the heel the taller you are and the longer your legs look.
5. While you can mix your colors up, it is best to stick to a single color to make you appear taller and thinner. Add color to your outfits through jewelry, shoes and handbags.
6. Do not wear thick material because it will only leave you looking even bulkier.
7. If you are carrying around extra weight, the best trick to hide it is by wearing clothes that fit properly. If they are too big they will balloon out to make you appear larger and if they are too tight they will show every bump.
8. Clothes that are too tight are a risk. Clothes that cling to your tummy or show off the rolls on your back are not attractive. Neither are pants so tight that you upper body mushrooms over the edge. All this will only bring unwanted attention to your problem areas.
9. If at all possible, petite women should wear shoes with higher heels as much as possible. This does not mean stilettos; there are great wedge shoes available as well. Although a sexy stiletto with a straight cut pants is the perfect combination to give you added length and height.
10. Never forget that any fault in your figure can be camouflaged with the right clothing
