Mini Designer Dresses For Petites

When it comes to designer dresses for petite’s, it’s no secret that mini silhouettes always look seriously amazing! Thankfully, there’s no shortage of stunning options out there right now. Take the frill sleeve smock dress by Vera Moda, for example. This is the quintessential throw-on-and-go dress for summer.

Throw this on with sneakers for a stylish errand run, or dress it up with sandals for a weekend brunch date. Trust us, you’ll love how versatile this dress is just as much as you adore the fit!

 

Another printed beauty we can’t stop thinking about is the Aldina floral mini dress by Love Shack Fancy. Its fitted waistline is perfect for defining your figure and creating that coveted hourglass shape. What’s more, its shorter tiered hemline is just what we petite ladies need! Add this to your summer lineup and prepare for an endless stream of compliments.
