That’s so helpful, thank you

Roman originals do a lot of patterned petite dresses. Their website let's you filter search on size, colour, fabric and style. I'd be surprised if you didn't find at least a couple of possibles there.

Thanks
had thrown my toys out of the pram with them as the first few I liked were sold out in my size, but after your comment, decided to be a grown up ! Went back and bought three to have a look at .
they are so good for delivery and returns
it’s a shame that the shops are so different from the website. It’s one of the few clothes shops we have left in our town and it seems to just stock garish, sparkly nylon stuff and nothing in petite, yet the website has some really nice things.

@3smallpups
I agree, think I went in one of their shops a few years ago and walked straight out again.
Dresses I've bought from Roman have been solid colours or very small patterns, I'm not a fan of large patterns and they don't suit me.
They are quite well made and wash well.
