"Hi, my name is Susan Jacobs a Personal Style Image Consultant and I'm here today on behalf of Expert Village to talk about dressing the petite body. In this clip we're going to talk about neckline. Necklines are important because there's the place where we showcase fabulous jewelry. When you are petite you need to for certainly first off consider your face shape when choosing a neckline that will work best for you. Most often V-necks are the most flattering, for one thing they're a great place to showcase your fabulous accessories. Another reason why V-necks are most flattering is because the "V" actually pulls the eye down and if you're petite this is great because it makes us appear to be more tall. The other thing to consider is shoulders. People that have slopping shoulders will want to wear a draped neck, because that's flattering. As well you want to avoid anything with a lot of ruffles and detail here because it will overwhelm that area. The point is to always draw the eye away from the area that's problematic. Crew necks and tight knitting neckline usually aren't the best option unless you're very long necked which most petites are not."
