I've got one - I'm only 5 foot nothing.

I had to take it up!

I got one from Warehouse (in John Lewis) last week. I am 5 foot. This one just skims the floor when I am in flats, a bit above when in heels. Could easily be taken up though due to style.

Next have maxi dresses in their latest catalogue - saw it at a friend's house this evening and noticed.

I ordered one online from Matalan which is white with a little purple ditsy print.It is good for an everyday dress and really nice on.It is just on my ankles on me-I'm 5ft3in on a good day!.They also have kids ones,age 12-13 fits me, with a ruched top which I guess would fit up to size 12 top half,also in really nice ditsy print colours, but come up shorter.Thirdly I have bought a more dressy one in silk and linen from a local boutique from Part Two [a danish brand]which is exactly the right length.I think you can google to find stockists.I hope this helps.

Hijack

Been trying to find one, but Miss Selfridge and Next are totally sold out of petite sizes (or a 5-6 week wait)

The printed Navaho maxi from Miss Selfridge is lovely, but it apparently was shown on GMTV so it flew off the website. I tried on a 14 petite as it was all that was left and it was massive.

I cant seem to find any other petite ones in stock.

So if you do find any, let me know!
