If you were Carrie Underwood's celebrity stylist, which styling tips would you offer her to improve this look?

Start over! This dress has too many unflattering features. The too-short skirt goes right across the thickest part of her thighs and makes her legs look thick. She doesn't have big legs, so why turn an asset into a liability?

The bell-shaped sleeves of the dress aren't helping either. They seem out of proportion and make the dress look square, not a flattering shape for anybody. Sleeves that extend to a dress's hem or beyond are too long.

Some of the circle motifs on the dress seem too large, although they might look better if the dress were better shaped.

Ankle straps on her shoes cut the long leg line.

Now for another petite celebrity mini-makeover. Play celebrity fashion stylist for Drew Barrymore.
