Dresses for the petite

[prettyanddainty]

Hi, can anyone recommend some good online or none online shops that do good summer dresses for short women? I am only 5ft and a size 10. I am looking for some summer dresses that are knee length or just above. Thanks.

Thank you parma that's a nice dress.

I am more into those kinda skater dresses, or A line ones. Anymore?

Primark has a lot of skater style dresses and shirt style dresses. Given that primark cut things very short, they tend to be about the right length when on someone very petite. I too am only five foot and I find it difficult to find anything the right length. Dorothy Perkins is also worth a look if you have a store nearby.

Thanks one sometimes it sucks being short. I will take a peak in primark.

Not that I'm small enough for them now but it might be worth looking at some of the older teenage girls clothes. If you're a size ten or thereabouts, you might find the age range of 14-15 year old might fit. They certainly fit me when I was around a size 10. It is trial and error though as much like women's clothing, the sizes vary between stores. I found H&M to be one of the best though, not quite so childish in style/pattern/cut as some places.

Thanks one yes I have bought a couple of tops from primark a few years ago which were for 14-15 year olds.x

Asos has a petite section that has loads of skater dresses. Topshop also has a petite section that's quite good. HTH

Yes lucy that is helpful, I will check those two out, I prefer to buy online but hate returning items if they don't fit.

Boden petite range?

Boden girls is good.

Thanks murray and ygritte never thought of Boden.

I've bought skater dresses from this place. Cheap and cheerful. I'm 5'0, and they come to a couple of inches above the knee.
