Fall is such a beautiful season for family photos. Today I’m rounding up a few petite-friendly dresses I found to fit different color schemes and styles. These dresses also make great options for upcoming holiday dinners.

Petite-Friendly Fall Family Photo Dresses
Sizing Reference: I’m 4’10” and around 105lbs. I share my sizing beside each item to help you choose the best option for you when shopping online.
Rust Velvet Maxi Dress
Anthropologie did such a good job with their Somerset Maxi dress. It has a wide range of sizing and fits amazingly! I’m wearing it in Petite XXS and there isn’t any part of the dress that I feel doesn’t fit well. I chose a velvet version for a beautiful option for fall photos, but also for Thanksgiving dinner. I wore it with a pair of clear strap heels here, but I think it would also be beautiful with metallic heels for the holidays.

Gold Maxi
This maxi dress would be beautiful for color schemes using pops of gold. The dress is very voluminous and looks best on me with a belt at the waist. I love that you can hide a pair of boots under this dress to stay warm. The dress is a little bit longer in the back than it is in the front and just barely grazes the ground on me. I’m wearing it in Petite XXS.

Green Dress
This is a dress that would be great for fall photos and holiday photos. It is fully lined with sheer sleeves and a removable tie at the waist. I find it to be true to size, I’m wearing it in Petite 00.

Cream Sweater Dress
This dress will go with any color scheme and is just a beautiful dress for fall and winter. I’m wearing it in Petite XXS and it fits me well overall. There is a little bit of room in the top that took some tucking in when I was tying the wrap to get it just right. This dress is a little bit sheer/unforgiving so I would recommend a pair of shapewear shorts underneath. I like Spanx Power Shorts, not the higher power shorts which have a really high rise on the waist.

Purple Dress
Last is a purple midi-length dress from J.Crew Factory. The dress is unlined, and true to size in Petite XXS. It goes beautifully with a lady coat. The coat is true to size, I’m wearing it in Petite 00.
