Where to Wear Summer Dresses
Sizing Reference: I’m 4’10” and around 105lbs. I share my sizing beside each item to help you pick the best size for you online. I don’t alter or tailor the clothing in any way.
Church
Sunday morning service is my excuse to break out one of my dresses every week. I’m wearing this dress in Petite XXS and while it fits wonderful all around, it is a little bit on the short side. If you want more length I would suggest trying regular sizing. Other than the length, the dress is fully lined and well made.

Baby Shower/Bridal Shower
I would wear this dress to any fun late summer occasion. It is true to size and fully lined. I’m wearing it in Petite 00. You’ll need a strapless bra with this one. I’m wearing my straps here, but you can see that they’re visible – I was just in a rush swapping outfits for this post!

Work
I first shared this dress in my outfits for teachers post. Although the skirt isn’t lined, the fabric is thick and the waist is adjustable, it also has pockets! I’m wearing it in Petite 00 and would consider it to be true to size.

Wedding Guest Dress
Although I’m asked often for wedding guest dress suggestions, it’s one thing that no matter what dress I post someone somewhere will disagree with it and say, “I wouldn’t wear that to a wedding”. So, take this suggestion and wage it against the dress code and aesthetic of your bride and groom. A cut-out dress may not fly for every wedding, but for others – this on-trend dress may be just the ticket. It also just makes for a great date night dress. In terms of fit, this one is true to size and I’m wearing it in Petite XXS. The strap around the neck can tighten the chest area and you can get away with a regular bra with this one. It’s also fully lined.
