Sunday Times Style Magazine

Petites too can have Navy and White Polka Dots, as featured alongside this Oscar de la Renta catwalk image in the Sunday Times magazine (03/04).

See my Colette navy polka dot dress worn by me with my new Bobo navy stripe petite cardigan (order now to be the first to receive this cardigan which is available next week).  This is a classic, stylish and fun look combining the dot's and stripes.  Go classic and wear it with pearls and cream shoes or let your hair down and wear it with this summers favourite colour - Tangerine. All you need is a tangerine necklace, shoes and nail varnish to funk it up a bit and put a skip in your step.  Perfect for those who don't think they can wear navy, you won't recognise yourself!

It is considered that stripes will give you width, however by choosing not to put the stripes on the sleeves of my Bobo cardigan, unlike most striped garments, the eye is not drawn horizontally beyond the waist.  In fact the contrast white bow will stop the eye from travelling wide here. On the contrary, the horizontal stripes on my garment will quite simply enhance your shape, something Petites need to boast about as our short stature means that we are generally more shapely than our taller female friends.
