"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 working with the bustline. There's so many things to say about the bustline that I hope I can get in 3 minutes. So I will start with my model and self being petite as well as small busted. Tricks that we use to enhance the area, if that's your desire, is to buy jackets or tops that have pocket embellishments in the bust area. This works because not only is my model petite, she's also very small. Also, you can see in her blouse the rushy detail in the "V" which also adds a little more to the bust area. That's a nice trick for petite small busted women, that's not always an option, not something you have to do. We can also add light ruffles to the area which adds a little bit more depth as well, be careful though not to overwhelm. However, if you are petite and you're busty, you don't want to expose too much bustline because what that does is the opposite, it adds weight and makes you look much more busty than you are. There is a time and a place for that, but most often it isn't appropriate. One thing if you are busty and petite to avoid are halter tops, because what they do is accentuate the bust, they also add width to the shoulders and if you aren't broad in the hip area, you don't want to accentuate the upper body in that manner."
