For my dress-loving friends out there, I found a few petite-friendly options that I think you’ll love. For fun, I made this a different dress or skirt for every day of the week, but this post is really just full of fall-ready options.

A Week of Dresses and Skirts
My Sizing: I’m 4’10” and my bust, waist, and hip measurements are 32″, 24″ and 36″. My typical inseam is 24-25″. 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.
Monday
For Monday I picked a dress that’s ready for work. This dress is stretchy and comfortable and comes with a matching fabric belt that I swapped out. As far as sizing goes, this dress is true to size. Boden started carrying Petite 0 which is a better fit for me than the typical Petite 2 I usually buy from there (since it was the smallest option). I chose heels for the outfit, but ballet flats would look great with this dress as well.

Tuesday
I paired a washable silk skirt from Quince with a budget-friendly top from Old Navy for this outfit. If champagne isn’t your favorite to wear, this easy-to-wear skirt comes in several color options. I’m wearing Spanx shorts underneath and tucked my top into the shorts to keep the look seamless.

Wednesday
On Wednesdays we wear pink. This pink dress from Anthropologie has a great fit, is really comfortable, and is fun to wear. It does come in petite in another color, but I’m wearing it in regular sizing here (in xxs) and I think it’s perfect. The skirt is unlined so I added a half slip, but that’s optional. The leopard mary jane flats are from J.Crew and are true to size. If you’ve followed me for any amount of time you know I’m not big into trends, but if there’s one trend I’m totally on board with this season it’s ballet flats and mary janes. I’m also excited to see leopard shoes rising in popularity again, that’s something I’ve loved wearing in the past.

Thursday
For Thursday I chose a lady jacket from J.Crew Factory that has a great petite fit. I paired it with a simple black mock neck top and a stretchy black skirt. I find the skirt to be true to size overall, but I went up a size because I didn’t want it to cling to my hips.

Friday
This plaid skirt is a fall classic. I chose a burgundy sweater tee and a corduroy blazer for a little fall texture. All of the outfit pieces are true to size in this outfit.

Saturday
This dress is pretty for fall and has a great petite fit. It has a subtle floral print and midi length. I could see it being perfect for fall family photos and casual events. I’m wearing it in my true size and love the pockets and smocked top.

Sunday
If you’re looking for a budget-friendly option, this dress from Old Navy may be just what you’re looking for. It is oversized on me in my true size at Old Navy (Petite XS) so you may want to size down if you have the option. It is unlined and has a tie at the top in the back.
