People wrongly think that petite sizing needs will be met just by putting on an extra small size. But a petite person has a small bone structure, but a woman's body. However, luckily, in India, there are tailors who can custom make a garment to petite proportions. Wear single columns of colour. They increase height and prevent the visual cutting up of the body shape into distorted colour groups.
Horizontal stripes make petites taller.
Vertical stripes can also enhance elongation when teamed with a cardigan or jacket. Stay away from neons, blocks of colour and an overplay of 'sheer' mixes.

Stay with a good fit to enhance the shoulder line even 2.5 cm over the exact shoulder can make a petite look like she is wearing an oversized garment. The armhole should fit snugly.
