It's a fashion fact - if we look thinner, we'll look taller. So any style tricks that help us look thinner do double duty for short women. Wearing garments with V-necklines makes a petite woman look both thinner and taller, and short celebrities often use this method to create an illusion of more height.

Here's a petite silk top that works hard for the wearer. Whether they're pointing up or down, V-lines create height. On this top, the chevron design continually repeats the V-motif, and the skinny belt emphasizes and defines the waistline for a shapely look.
