I’m continuing my search for spring dresses for all occasions. In today’s post, I have a mix of nine dresses and one jumpsuit (it was just easier to title this post 10 dresses). The options range from casual everyday options to a couple that may be just right for a graduation guest or graduate. I also tried my best to mix price points in this post, so if you click on a link that isn’t quite within your budget, keep checking the others.

10 Spring Dresses
My Sizing: I’m 4’10”, and my bust, waist, and hip measurements are 32″, 24″, and 36″. My inseam is 25″ (the measurement from the inside of my leg to my ankle bone). The clothes shown are unaltered and show how they fit me right from the store. I list my sizing beside each item to help you compare when shopping online. When referencing my true size that is often the smallest option available at a brand or petite xxs/00/24. I wear a size 5 shoe.
Floral Dress
I love a simple feminine dress. This Boden dress can be worn with flats or heels and is perfect for everyday wear, but it can also be worn to church and work. It’s unlined, with fully functional buttons and pockets. I’m wearing it here in Petite 2 because Petite 0 wasn’t available, and it fits me well overall.

Shirt Dress
This dress has a size petite 0 option, so it’s an even better fit for me than the first Boden dress. This dress is also unlined, with fully functional buttons on the front and pockets. I buy many clothes, and this dress is one of my favorite recent purchases. I can’t wait to wear it.

Puff Sleeve Dress
If I ever create a clothing line one day, I promise I will have many dress options with sleeves. It’s the biggest request I get and something you don’t find much of. There are lots of sleeveless, backless, and low-cut options you can’t wear with a normal bra – we want sleeves, we want to wear normal bras! This dress has all the things – small puff sleeves and a great fit all around. It’s unlined and has one functional button at the top. I buttoned it because it pulls the dress in at the shoulders, making for a closer fit and less spread through the chest and shoulders, but you can also wear it open.

Striped Dress
This dress feels very summer chic to me. It has a classic a-line shape and navy and white stripes. It’s textured and the dress is thick and stretchy. It is low cut, but it holds in well at the chest because of the stretch, so it’s not revealing. But you will need a strapless bra due to thinner straps on the back. I left my hair down since I do many pictures and change outfits in one day, but wearing this out, I think this dress would be pretty with your hair pulled back.

Navy Dress
I think this dress would be great for a graduation. It’s mini-length, fully lined, and has a sheer overlay. The skirt has a curved hem with small ruffles. I find it to run true to size overall.

Black Dress
This black dress is another option that would be great for a graduation. You could even wear it to work. I’m wearing my true size, and it is a close fit. You may want to go up a size if you want more room. The dress has some stretch but feels a little compressive to me. This dress reminds me of the dress I wore to my college graduation.

Sleeveless Dress
This is another classic black option you can wear in many ways. Last year, I made this post with multiple ways to wear the same pink dress. The dress is fully lined and has a great overall fit in my true size.

Midi Dress
I don’t always have luck sharing Old Navy options because they tend to sell out in petite before I can post them, but I do have a few for this post! First is this stretchy and comfortable midi dress. The body of the dress is roomy with a stretch empire waist. The straps and chest are also smocked and stretchy to accommodate your chest size.

Jumpsuit
A petite-friendly jumpsuit! I don’t find jumpsuits often, so I was surprised to find one at Old Navy. The jumpsuit is stretchy and comfortable. It has an elastic waist and a tie at the back at the top.

T-Shirt Dress
The last dress in the post is an everyday t-shirt dress. I buy most of my t-shirt dresses from Old Navy each year. They’re affordable and often have a great fit. This style is roomier in the body than some I have purchased in previous years, but I still love it! It has a great length in petite.
