Standing at the distinctly less-than-average height of 5’1″, I have always had difficulty finding dresses. Midi hemlines can often skim the floor while cute minidresses intended to finish above the knee usually hover around the top of my shin. In fact, I barely remember the last time I purchased a dress that didn’t need to be taken up, taken in or otherwise adjusted in some way.
Because of this issue, you’ll usually find me in separates throughout spring. I’ll often pair a printed skirt alongside a plain white tee or opt for tailored shorts and an oversize button-down for more casual days. However, this year I’m determined to become a “dress girl,” and so I have taken it upon myself to find the best petite dresses on the market.
