Petite Dresses

<-h2->Petite dresses with corrected proportions<-h2-> Proportion beats alteration every single time. Petite dresses in this collection have the hem, sleeve and waist placement corrected at the pattern stage, across midi, mini and maxi lengths in knits, jersey, satin and print. A petite midi should finish mid-calf rather than swallow the ankle, and the shoulder seam should land on the shoulder. Begin with well-designed staples, then bring colour and print in through accessories. A jersey petite midi with flat boots, a cropped wool coat and a fine gold chain covers the working week easily. For a special occasion, a satin petite slip with a heeled sandal, a small clutch and gold drop earrings needs nothing else added. Separates give you the same advantage, so try a petite shirt tucked into a midi skirt with a slim belt marking the waist where it genuinely is. Knitted, jersey, satin and printed styles follow the same corrected proportions across midi, mini and maxi, so nothing arrives needing shortening.
