Comment BELT for a 🔗 to everything, including all of my favorite belts right now as a petite! 🥰 Belt info: If a dress has a cinched waist, an added belt can still work if you are trying to do the following: * Adding contrast or a pop of color. * Updating the style of a simple dress. * Coordinating with your shoes or bag. * Creating more definition if the built-in cinching is subtle rather than pronounced. Belt size: Here are some general guidelines: * ¼–½ inch (0.6–1.3 cm): Very delicate and elegant. This works especially well with dresses that have spaghetti straps or very thin straps. * ½–1 inch (1.3–2.5 cm): The sweet spot for most petites. It defines the waist without overwhelming your frame. * Over 1½ inches (3.8 cm): Usually best avoided with a small, delicate dress unless you're intentionally making the belt the focal point. On a petite frame, a wide belt can visually shorten the torso and compete with the dress. petitestyle petitetips petitehacks styletips styling styleinspo ootd outfitinspo whattowear petitedress specialoccasion wedding guest summerdress vacay
