Yes but if your height is small then you should be very careful while draping the dupatta. Girls of short stature often live in this world as to how their height should appear longer. If you are also looking for tips to look taller with dupatta draping, then definitely read this article of ours.
Wear a scarf around your waist
Many people wear a lehenga in a saree style. If you want to hide your waist and back fat and make your height appear longer, drape the scarf in this way. This trick will help you a lot in making you look taller. Attach the dupatta of the lehenga with a pin on one side and wrap the other edge like a saree pallu. With this, the look will also look new and your height will also look tall.
Change the way you wear lehenga
Along with draping the dupatta, you will look taller if you wear your lehenga properly. Wear a low-waisted lehenga to create the illusion of height. Keep in mind that there should be a gap of at least 3-4 inches between your blouse and lehenga. On top of this, you attach the dupatta on one of your shoulders. Just avoid tying the lehenga completely on the stomach; it will make your height look even smaller.
Take care of the border of the scarf
One very important rule that you should know is that if you are short in height then you should stay away from wide borders. Whether this wide border is on your lehenga or your dupatta, it makes your height look smaller. Choose a lehenga and dupatta for yourself which does not have a border or which has a thin border. Such dupattas also do not make your look heavy.
Choose delicate embroidery
Who doesn't like a heavy dupatta in a lehenga or suit? But if your height is small then you should avoid heavy embroidery. Dupatta with big motifs patches and prints will suppress your height. Not only this, but they also dominate your look. Hence, it is not advisable to wear a dupatta which is heavy and has a lot of work on it.
Drape the scarf on one side
You can keep the dupatta on one side like a fall which makes a straight line with your body. By doing this, an illusion is created in your height as well. Yes just keep in mind that don't drape your dupatta like a shawl or it will hide your look as well as make your height look smaller.
Now keep these tips in mind the next time you take the scarf.
