If you’ve ever been directed to the teen clothing section due to your petite size, you’re not alone. Shopping for a flattering dress is already challenging, but it gets 20 times harder when you’re under the 5’3″ mark.
A secret is to avoid maxi dresses at all costs, unless they’re specifically designed for petite figures. If you want that billowy maxi aesthetic, midi styles are the way to go.
Some of our favorite petite-friendly dresses are available at stores like Amazon, Abercrombie & Fitch and Nordstrom, starting at just $15. Whether you need an errand outfit or a beach frock, we’ve got you covered!
