A petite Apple shape has two lots of styling points to consider.
An Apple Shape has good proportions with a shapely bust, slender hips and good legs and will carry any additional weight around the midriff.
But if you're also Petite (considered to be 5ft 3" and under) you need to be equally aware of how you can elongate your silhouette at the same time.
The body is 'considered' to be perfectly proportioned if it divides in half at the leg break. But we all know that there's no such thing as a 'perfect body'!
However, if clothes are cut to that kind of standard specification it helps if we know how to cope with the inevitable problems that are caused when buying 'off the peg'.
Chico's have a fabulous range of Petite clothing as do Soft Surroundings, giving you a wide of choice of styles all cut and specifically proportioned for the shorter figure.
The majority of shorter ladies have a torso that is longer than half the body length with shorter legs.
Don't be over-critical of your figure but if you'd like to look taller there are simple ways to visually balance your proportions and help your legs to look a bit longer.
In this image the legs are all the same length but you can see how easy it is to influence the eye with color. Where the color is taken right up to under the bust it appears to make the legs look longer.
Everyone is different but take the basic petite style advice to elongate the silhouette. Then balance top and bottom halves for the Petite Apple Shape.
Both Chicos Petite and Soft Surroundings produce a range of styles that are perfectly proportioned for the petite apple shape with:
