Petite Shopping Tips
Find Your Perfect Dress
A few quick tips to help you choose petite dresses that fit, flatter, and make you feel amazing.
Choose the Right Length
Petite dresses often look best at mini or midi lengths that hit above or just below the knee. Â These lengths help elongate your legs and create a balanced silhouette.
Look for Flattering Necklines
V-necks, scoop necks, square necks, and sweetheart necklines create a longer, leaner look and draw the eye upward – perfect for petite frames. Â Avoid high necklines that can make you look shorter.
Consider the Waist Fit
Defined waits, wrap styles, and fit-and-flare silhouettes help create shape and proportion. Â Look for styles with adjustable ties, belts, or smocking to get the perfect fit.
Choose Vertical Details
Buttons, seams, pleats and vertical prints create a lengthening effect, helping you look taller and leaner. Â These details add style while flattering a petite frame.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are petite dresses?
Petite dresses are designed specifically for women with shorter proportions, typically 5’4″ and under. They often feature adjusted waistlines, shorter bodices, appropriately placed details and proportional hemlines to provide a more flattering fit than standard-size dresses.
What dress styles look best on petite women?
Many styles can flatter petite women, including wrap, A-line, fit-and-flare, sheath and streamlined dresses. The most important factor is proportion—a dress that fits correctly through the shoulders, waist and length can help create a balanced, elongated silhouette.
Can petite women wear midi and maxi dresses?
Absolutely! Petite women can look beautiful in both midi and maxi dresses. Look for styles specifically designed for petite proportions so the hemline, waist and other design details fall in the right places. More streamlined silhouettes and defined waistlines can also help create a longer-looking frame.
