One advantage to being petite is the fact that you can wear long tops as mini dresses or tunic dresses. Vampire Diaries cutie, Nina Dobrev, for example, was spotted sporting this Show Me Your Mumu Wendy Topslip as a dress while out and about in Miami a couple of weeks ago:

I, for one, am super tiny. And I do wish I was taller and had longer legs. But being small does have its perks. Obviously, getting to wear a top both as a dress and as a top is one (which means more mileage for your purchase!). And finding wearable pieces in the Juniors section is another. So if you’re petite, don’t you fret about it. Be happy that you actually have more choices when it comes to “dresses”!

For example, unlike the taller ladies, you can wear these gorgeous on-trend tops as mini dresses without looking like you left your pants at home:
