07: Prints & Patterns for Petites: What Works and Why

Unlock the power of color and prints to create flattering outfits that make you look longer and thinner on this episode of Inside Petite Style with Petite style coach Angela Foster, creator of the S.P.A.R.K. Style Method. The first podcast exclusively for women 5'3" and under.  

Discover the secrets to using color and prints to achieve a balanced body shape, even if your current wardrobe silhouettes aren't ideal. 

We'll debunk common color myths and dive deep into how visual effects like lighter vs. darker colors, horizontal stripes, and high-contrast vs. low-contrast prints impact your shape. 

Learn the magic of small prints for Petites and how to cautiously incorporate larger, bolder prints without overwhelming your small frame.

In this episode, you'll learn specific strategies tailored to each signature body shape identified by the Petite Body Shape Quiz:

• Signature Shape Number Threes (balanced body shape): Master monochromatic and tonal outfits for a sleek column of color, and learn how to use prints for subtle volume where desired.
• Signature Shape Number Fours (smaller hips/thighs): Discover how to add volume from the waist down with lighter colors, prints, or solids, while keeping the top minimized.
• Signature Shape Number Sixes (smaller shoulders/bust): Explore techniques to add volume from the waist up using lighter colors or bolder prints, balancing your frame effectively.

We'll also discuss the powerful technique of color blocking and emphasize the critical importance of proportion for Petites, ensuring your tops hit at the right spot to maximize vertical length.
