Holiday dresses for petite shaped women help you get an elongated silhouette. They are especially created to complement your hips and tiny waists while helping you appear taller. A lot of women often find that regular gowns and evening dresses make them look stouter. One of my favorite picks here are women’s petite jacket dresses.

Not only are these dresses elegant and figure-flattering, they are functional too. The cold weather during the holiday parties calls for dressing warmly. Though a shrug or bolero works well, it may not accentuate the petite stature completely.

There are dresses available with jackets of similar or contrasting colors to suit your individual style. If the party gets too hot, you can always remove the jacket. You can always choose dresses for particular holiday party types. And you won’t have to worry about finding a jacket or cardigan to match.

For instance, a fur collared jacket in red works great for Christmas parties while laces or sequins highlights your New Years Eve party mood! Elegant petite size dresses are more appropriate for more formal holiday parties.

Check out this Adrianna Papell flutter sleeve tiered dress in indigo to accentuate your petite figure in chiffon. It has laser-cut layers of iridescent taffeta that overlap to form the skirt of an elegant dress. It comes with a double V-neck and chiffon bodice to flatter with a surplice front and sheer flutter sleeves.

You can also go for a classic and elegant LBD from Ralph Lauren, which comes in a wrap style. The outfit can be accessorized with chunky bangles and neckpieces for a funkier look or you can keep it formal with a pair of hoop earrings or solitaire studs.
