    Default Need Quick fashion advice pls!

    Hi all! I need some helpful advice. A friend's late night wedd is coming up next month. Well, I am only 4 ft 10" tall (or short!!), so I need advice on what kind (heavy/light garment) or color outfit I should wear to appear a little tall. I've read that its better I wear an outfit thats a single color from head to toe & open shoes instead of closed. I personally want to go in for a dark shaded gown with a scatter of sparkling tiny stones more on the border. Also my hair is thick, straight & black & little longer than shoulder lenght, should I tie it or leave it down? Please help before I make a clown of myself!! Thanks!

    I'm really short too.
    Make sure you wear really good heels
    Something with stripes that flow vertically will make you look taller too...but not sure if that would be good for a Wedding...

    I am quite short as well. The thing is. No matter what you wear people are going to kno that your short!! Can't hide it very well! Heels help but still not goin to be a secret that your short. Point is I think you should wear whatever you feel good in. Whatever makes you feel sexy and yourself. Stop worrying about what looks make you appear taller. Just because your little doesn't mean you can't look sexy as !!

    Sounds like the darker colour would be a good bet....I would suggest that you try something with your hair that leaves at least some of it trailing down your back...to keep the illusion of a continuous line. Also...stand next to shorter people

    if you wear a dress, be cautious of where the hem line crosses your legs. You can lose a LOT of height if you hemline is too high or too low.

    Also pointy toed shoes give the illusion of a longer leg line.

    Thank you, Stacy and Clinton and the whole what not to wear team for your tips! Saved this short girl a lot of fashion faux paus!

    I am short myself 5". I would say go with a medium to high heel and go with a tea length dress with either strapless or v shape neck line. Now for the color of the dress maybe a nice deep red and for your hair I would put half up with loose waves/curls.

    I hope this helps.

    Thanks for all your tips! Yes, will try the hair advice & will surely see that I stand next to shorter people ... that is 'If' there are shorter ones ... most probably - No!!! Kidding!
    Will try all of your tips & hopefully at least 'appear' a lil taller!!!
    Thanks!
