Cotton dress 5'3" Size 6

[ifonly4]

Can anyone suggest a cotton dresses that would suit me please. Ideally not too low cut as I'm small busted, short sleeves/straps and I'd rather have something knee length-/midi.

Budget? Colours? Plain or patterned?

Are you looking for cut suggestions? I always go for A-line. Same height/size as you. Skater dresses are nice, too.

Mmmarks polka dot, petite available, size 6 available. I wouldn’t recommend the ruffles if you hadn’t said you were small busted but could be cute on you

I'm flexible on style, colour (well maybe not white as I'm fair skinned), pattern as I think I've got enough personal requirements already. Price range, probably max £80 but any suggestion well under appreciated.

Although, again I'm flexible - I'd consider white if it has polka dots/flowers/other!

This too long?

This style will probably be a short dress on you and the cut is lovely - lots of bright and not so bright prints. https://atlastshop.co.uk/collections/cotton-annabel-tunic

Have you tried Popsy? They do some lovely dresses that might meet your requirements and they do free alterations if you want to change the dress length/sleeve length.

Nobody’s Child have a selection of petite dresses also worth looking at next/brands the website is fairly to filter for fabrics/petite.

I’m the same size and height and look good in most dresses although I strongly prefer a poor -pilgrim-in-a-potato-sack rather than a bodycon look. My to go places for dresses are Offon Clothing, Brora, Justine Tabak and Uniqlo.

There is a shopping my wardrobe in 2026 thread that I started here where I posted quite a few dresses as parts of my outfits. Maybe you can find some inspiration for a dress there?

Next online stock Love & Roses dresses which might work, tends to be flowery patterns.

Have you tried Zara? There’s a sale on at the moment. This should take you to XS sale dresses buy you may have to filter again:
