The trendy one-shoulder tops and dresses that are all the rage this season make great additions to any petite wardrobe.  Originally inspired by the Greek goddesses in ancient mythology, one-shouldered silhouettes paint a diagonal line on the petite figure that draws the eye upward.  It is a great look for summer because you can show a little skin and still be more covered up than in a strapless dress or top.  Sexy one-shoulder gowns have been a major hit on the red carpet recently, including Sarah Jessica Parker’s asymetrical cut yellow Valentino worn to the Sex and the City 2 movie premiere.  (featured below)
