Any ideas?

Not sure what people wear on cruises but danni minogue is having a sale on qvc and has a petites range.

If you don’t like whatever it is you buy then you have 60 days to wear and return for the cost of the postage.

I’m the same height & size as you. I recently bought two dresses in the Roman sale that don’t drown me & fit well.

Dark lane thanks lots of choice on Roman site. What is the sizing like ? not sure if I am 12 or 14 ? Thanks

I found the sizing pretty true. I ordered 14 as I’m a 36GG. A bonus was that I haven’t needed to shorten anything

I've just discovered whistles petite and nobody's child petite which both do nice dresses

Darklane just wanted to thank you for your advice. Managed to find a couple of nice dresses for my cruise from Roman. Worth a look for any one who is 5ft tall like me. Spent last few years wearing hush joggers and baggy jumpers etc so my old posh frocks did not fit. Will certainly buy more from this company in the future used to be a size 8 now size 12 😥30ff bust but at least I don't look like a sack of spuds in these dresses.
