Although we may not have a personal style team keeping us glamorously  in check 24/7, a little knowledge of our body type and how to dress accordingly will go a long way! So start by figuring out what body type you are.

 

Easy right? 

 

Nope! 

 

There are so many ways to figure out your body type. But the most effective often include taking your shoulder, waist and hip measurements, and then comparing the difference in inches.  For petites, the differences in our measurements will be smaller, which makes figuring out our body types in this way difficult.

 

I found this brilliant chart from Alterations Needed which shows body type measurement ratio information scaled down for petites.
