The Complete Guide to Wearing a Kurti as a Short Girl

In the modern age of self-love, we must accept who we are. Being short or curvy shouldn't be something to be ashamed of. Instead, we should find ourselves and love our bodies as they are.

Being petite and small is super fun and adorable. You sometimes might wish to be taller, but it's all about picking the right elements and exploring to ace all looks, even being short and small. 

This article will bring different kinds of kurti that would ideally suit short women. There are also some tips to keep in mind while selecting any outfit that could create height illusions. Even simple kurtis with deep necks will suit petite women.

You know, even the tiniest things can add height or even decrease your size, making you look taller or shorter. From print patterns to jewellery that you can pair up, everything matters.

Let's start with ten essential points to keep in mind to ace any kurti look or look for a petite woman.

Straight-cut kurtis are the best silhouette for you

Kurtis are available in multiple lengths. Kurti that ends up on your knees will make you look short. Thus, always go for straight-cut kurtis with a long length that gives an illusion of a long frame and lengthens your torso. When you want to look sexy for a party, wear straight, high-side-slit party wear kurtis. You can even opt for this style as a festive kurti.

Dark shades are your ideal cheat code colours

Donning kurtis in darker tones is a clever way to make petite ladies look taller. Long dark kurtis of solid dark colours like maroon and black made with palazzos of the same shade give a monochrome, merged image.

It would be best if you tried nude brown shades of kurti as minimalism trends. These shades will make you look attractive and unique. Even a dark blue kurti with a matching palazzo is a classic look.

Pair your kurtis with medium flare skirts

Long kurtis paired up with medium flare skirts will give an elongated flared look. This will not only make you look tall but also slimmer. You need to choose the suitable fabric and texture along with the kurti.

Emphasising your waist

If you are petite and short, one of the ways to look taller is by defining your waist with belts cinching it. You can do so for kurtis by wearing butterfly kurtis or kaftan style kurtis where tie-up belts are present to draw attention to your waist and make you look tall.

Choosing the right jewellery

While pairing jewellery, always choose long dangling earrings, not chunky and studded ones. These vertical elements will not only make you look taller but also classy. Likewise, statement necklaces should be long because short ones will diminish your height.

Front Slit kurtis

The slit at the front of this style of kurtis would make you love yourself. The slit would flatter your body and make you look taller. The lines created will not only make our legs look longer but also make you look slimmer.

The right fabric

Always pick out light and breezy fabrics that adds flow to your fits. Fabrics like chiffon and georgette will add flow and keep you comfy. If you are short and a feeding mother, feeding kurtis, slightly fitted till bust, made of light, breezy material and flared out till the bottom, would be best for you. Tailored feeding kurtis are available at CloudTailor, where garments are made to measure for you.

Monochrome fits

Colours also play a significant role. Monochrome outfits let your long kurtas extend their length through illusions created by the same shaded bottom. When your top and bottom are of different shades, they create horizontal divisions, and horizontal lines or divisions diminish length to make you look shorter.

White lakhnawi kurti with chikankari embroidery paired with white palazzos is a subtle and gorgeous fit to look out for monochrome outfits. Even a light blue kurti with matching cigarette pants could be your go-to look for a casual outing.

Minimal prints, motifs and embroidery

Tiny prints make you look preppy, but large motifs might create horizontal illusions and make you look shorter. As we need to add vertical linear illusions, minimalistic small prints and motifs make anyone look classy. 

Try to avoid heavy embroidery and opt for vertical elements and prints more. Small booti block print kurtis, batik print kurtis with small impressions and morpankh kurtis are best for you.

Necklines and sleeves

V-neck, square and sweetheart necklines are best for exposing your collar bones and creating distractions away from your short neck. Always go for deep kurti necks to make you look sexy and taller. 

Always avoid mandarin collars as they will highlight your short neck. For sleeves, always stick to elbow length and mid-length and don't opt for cap sleeves. A deep-neck black kurti with elbow sleeves and denim pants underneath can make any woman, short or tall, look sexy.
