Vests should be a part of every petite woman’s wardrobe.  Why?  This petite-friendly garment often features a flattering V-neckline that will make a short body frame automatically look longer.  As an added bonus, a button or zip-front vest paints lengthening vertical lines on the petite figure.  The vest offers a stylish solution to a jacket or classic cardigan.  A hot item is the new long draped vest, a perfect petite look when proportioned in petite sizes.  A quilted puffer vest can keep you warm and cozy the rest of the winter.  The good news for petite women is that there are lots of cute vests in stores now, many of them at ridiculously low prices.
