Petite with yin curve: rounded bones, a defined waist, soft flesh on a compact frame. Sweet and spirited at once.
Why these pieces work
Lean into this. Small-scale softness: rounded necklines, waist definition, shorter hemlines, plush knits, cute details kept small.
Steer clear of this. Long severe lines, oversized volume, harsh sharp tailoring.
