Petite Christmas party wear

15 replies

Where is best to look online for petite clothing to wear to my works Christmas party?

It's at quite a fancy location, dinner and dance kind of thing.

Budget around £100. I already have gold sandals so needs to be something that goes with gold.

The gold sandals sound nice! Can you only wear petite ranges or are you able to consider say a mini skirt from elsewhere?

I would consider a regular skirt I guess, as long as it's not too long. Did you have a skirt in mind? I wouldn't mind a mini skirt/ dress actually, I usually wear midi but feel mini is more 'in' currently!

All the dresses i am seeing are either OOT or plain, there doesn't seem to be much in between 🤷‍♀️

Could you post a pic of the kind of thing you like and then maybe we can find petite versions?

Would this be your sort of thing? It would be gorgeous with your sandals:

I definitely need more of a defined waist

OP posts:

Ridiculously chic, but maybe too plain without the trousers?

Or the opposite of plain - just look at the mini dresses:

BetsyRegards · 15/11/2024 19:17

Oh, sorry - didn’t see about the waist!

Littleguggi · 15/11/2024 19:40

Thank you for the recommendations of where else to look! Does anyone like anything I've posted?

The Rare London brown burnout dress is very striking. Not so keen on the others.

I like the black dress with the bow straps. I couldn't pull it off these days, but it's lovely.

excelledyourself · 15/11/2024 20:37

Sorry, posted too soon, I also like the Adrianna Papell for the contrast between the plain top and more interesting skirt,

Lostworlds · 15/11/2024 20:38

The rare London dress is lovely!

I’m petite and just got a lovely fitted black mini dress from Zara. There were loads of mini dresses that worked quite well actually and were well under £100.
