Flattering fit for short rise body build

For a flattering fit, wear styles that fit attractively and lengthen the appearance of your rise (waist-to-hip area). What works:

• Tops with vertical lines and patterns below the waist
• Tops and dresses with high waistlines (empire)
• Skirts and dresses worn at any flattering length
• Narrow belts, or pants and skirts with vertical lines or patterns
• Pants with drawstring waistlines or wide waistbands that can be altered to remove the extra fabric in the rise
• Swimsuits with adjustable shoulder straps to allow for length adjustments.

What doesn't work: Styles that hang below or visually shorten your rise make your torso appear shorter and look unflattering.

• Tops that are short or have horizontal lines or patterns below the waist.
• Pants, shorts and swimsuits with horizontal stripes or patterns in the rise
• Pants with detailed waistlines, hemlines or cuffs that can't be altered to provide a better fit in the rise without ruining the look
