Best petite dresses for wedding guests
Formal fashion for petite people at 5 ft 4 and under
Those of us with petite statures know all too well the challenge of finding occasion wear that fits - and with the seemingly never-ending array of nuptials filling our calendars, the wedding guest dress stress is real.
Choosing an off-the-rack style will usually require a tailor on standby in order to nip, trim and shorten the areas that gape, drown us or drag on the floor – a cost that is never welcomed. This also removes the possibility of borrowing an outfit from any of the current fashion rental services, so where does that leave us?
Petite fashion has come on leaps and bounds in recent years. You no longer need to compromise to be able to find a dramatic piece for your formal occasions. For I Do celebrations, parties or proms, you can find a frock for every dress code and in line with the latest trends.
Whether you prefer a figure-flattering pared-back item or a frothy frock with all the tulle, embellishments and sequins to honour the special occasion, we have got you covered.
