When choosing a maxi dress, solid colors are your best bet, as this will give you a long, continuous line from top to bottom.? Coming in in second place is a small, consistent pattern? the general rule of thumb is that the size of the print should be no larger than your fist.

Aim for a top-of-the-toe-grazing length? whether you opt to wear heels or flats!? You want to?maxi-mize the line that the dress is giving you by stretching it out as far as possible!? This?Athena Petite Maxi Dress?from The Petite Shop is custom-designed to fall about 1/2? above the ground on a petite woman.

Wet seal, jcpenney, probably charlotte russe & forever 21. patters that go up & down make you look taller. I'm 5'1" too lol.

The most important thing about top would be that its fitted :-) I feel any tribal pattern would not have effect you want, as most of those are horizontal patterns.
