Ask The Stylist – Can a petite frame carry a Maxi dress?
Q: I’d love to buy a long maxi dress for my very late summer break, however, I’m only 5’2” and very top heavy (38G). I’ve tried a few different styles and colours, but I can’t seem to find one that doesn’t drown me. I’m starting to think that the design doesn’t suit my shape. What do you suggest?

Gypsy05 Halle Maxi Dress - £170
A: As you are petite you need to choose a maxi dress that has a delicate print that mirrors your overall proportion and defines your waist, or one in a single block colour, which will help you appear taller. Avoid smock styles that will only enlarge your bust further. With being top heavy you need to balance your figure so team with a pair of super-luxe sling back platform peep toe wedges that will also give you extra height.
