I first posted these dresses to Instagram only, but I’ve been getting so many questions about them, it seemed like they needed their own blog post. So, here you go – four petite-friendly dresses for summer.

Plaid
This dress feels a little retro and I love it! It’s classy, modest, and comfortable. It runs true to size, but the buttons on the front aren’t functional. It has a v in the back as well as the front and is fully lined.

Navy Dress
This dress is so much better in person than it looks online, so much so that I keep getting asked if it’s the same dress from Old Navy. Yes, it is! The cutouts on the side are subtle, making the dress on-trend without being too revealing. It runs true to size (in my Old Navy size) that’s Petite XS. The shoes also run true to size, you can snag them 25% off through the 31st.

Beach Dress
This dress makes me think of somewhere tropical! The colors are vibrant and the dress is fully lined. It has a babydoll fit, meaning the skirt is full with an empire waist. There is a tie detail at the back, you can wear a strapless bra and tie the straps around the bra, or wear bra cups – or go without! However, you are comfortable. The straps are adjustable and it runs true to size, for me that’s Petite XXS.

Tiered Dress
I’ve tried several popular Amazon dresses in this tiered style and none of them fit me. So, I was excited when I came across this petite one at J.Crew Factory. The petite fit is perfect and the dress is a light linen blend. It also comes in other color and print options.
