Scarlet & Jo for short people?

Anyone familiar with Scarlett and Jo dresses? I love the look of them, but don’t have anywhere near me that I can try them on. I’m only 5’3 - would the maxi dresses be way too long on me?
Alternatively is there somewhere else that does similar dresses in petite? I need a wedding guest dress.

I’m 5’6 and have a couple of the midi dresses, they are definitely longer on me than on the model so I think the maxi ones will be too long for you - if you look on the product description they usually have the dress lengths on there.

I’ve got a midi dress, handkerchief hem and it’s a flattering length on me, mid calf, maybe longer. The main model is 5’11 which has put me off the maxi as I thought it would be too long for me at 5’6.
The dress is made up of a satin type polyester body which has a light stretch and could easily be shortened. Then there is the patterned mesh type polyester outer layer which is highly stretchable on the hem. I know I would struggle to overlock it on my machine if I shortened it, maybe a professional could do it.
Both layers appear to have been cut and an overlocking stitch used to finish the hem.

I’m a big fan of Scarlet and Jo dresses they hang nicely and often have pockets and they suit my figure, big boobs and a neat waist. So many other style of dresses.just hang from my boobs and flap around my middle and buttoned dresses are a no no. I have 4 or 5 of their dresses. I’m also 5ft 3 and a maxi dress is too long for me, a midi dress is long on me but not full length if that is what you need.

I'm 5ft2 and the maxi dresses fit me perfectly. I wore one to my dd wedding last month and had so many compliments.

Bit late to the party but the midis would be fine x I’m 5ft 4ins and get away with the maxi with heels
