A Fab reader recently wrote in asking us to start PetiteSugar. Since that's not on the roster (but you never know...) we decided we could do a Fab Body Guide dedicated to petites.

I lightly touched on the subject with Rachel Bilson, but here are many more helpful tips on how to elongate your silhouette, accessories dos and don'ts, and online retail shops with stylish fashions for petites.

Tips on elongating your small frame:

• Wearing similar colors, or monochrome, gives the illusion you're taller. It provides a continuous flow from one item of your outfit to the next.




• When you don't want to wear all one color, just make sure the silhouette of your outfit is lengthening. For example, if you want to wear a fuchsia blouse with white pants, make sure the hem of the pants sweeps the floor, even with your high heels.
• To avoid looking wide, stay away from horizontal stripes and colorblocking; you can certainly do skinny stripes though!
• Another style that makes you appear wide is anything overly billowy, a la Nicole Richie's tiered mini dress. If you must dabble with the trend, steer clear of tiers.

Oh, Marni. Why do you have to go and make a collection of incredibly desirable footwear that's out of my reach? This Marni Patent Runway Wedge ($685) is something I can ideally splurge on, but is it really worth paying that much for something I can't possibly wear every day? I think not.
