I’m 5’1″—Here Are All the Petite Summer Dresses I Have on My Wish List

July 28, 2021 at 06:06AM

It’s not easy being petite. For all the money you spend on clothes, often you have to then fork out even more for alterations. Hemlines are too long, billowing sleeves have too much excess fabric, and don’t even get me started at waistlines that usually end up sitting somewhere around your hips. 

Thankfully though, there are currently several brands that are making things easier for those of us lacking a little bit of height. From Reformation to New Look, Boden to ASOS, dedicated petite ranges are becoming much easier to find if you just know where to look.

Generally, I find dresses to be one of the hardest items to shop for, as there are often several different elements that can end up looking too oversize. While with a skirt, you might only have to alter the hem, dresses provide the added difficulty of potentially having to adjust the length of a bodice as well as sleeves and more. That is why today, I’ve taken the time to scroll through several websites in order to track down some of the best petite dresses on the market. From summery cotton maxi dresses that won’t drag on the floor to floral minis that will actually sit above your knee, keep scrolling for 18 petite summer dresses I have on my wish list.
