Petite midi or knee length shirt dress

Please can you find me a petite midi or knee length shirt dress or belted dress. With sleeves (long, elbow or short but not capped or sleeveless). It seems to be an elusive combination. Thanks.

I got a blue one on new look recently via ASOS - it's a maxi on me at 4ft 11

I brought this one yesterday and I am 5ft 2, it’s midi on me which I was surprised about.

Hi OP, this one is maybe too long for you but I have my eye on this one! It’s very pretty.

Oh dang it…sorry OP all sold out Blush.

The Asos one looks really cheap & way too baggy for a petite to pull off & the whistles one isn't petite Hmm

So many brands have a curvy range now but us petites are just forgotten about.

They are lovely but do all look very long. My best length is just under my knee. Any longer looks really unflattering on me.

I know Cos is not everyone’s cup of tea but I have three of their knee length shirt dresses (I’m 5ft 4) and I love them. They have a wide range. Could be worth a look if you haven’t already?

I feel your pain though, but for different reasons. I’m on the hunt for a plain black swimming costume that will support my 34f chest. It’s like trying to find the Holy Grail……

I find Gap is often the right length for me
