Wore the other dress instead.

Dress is really fantastic on someone tall. Not for petites as it is way too long waisted. Cowl came down to my belly button. Overall it is a great, sexy dress if you are over 5'5"

Gorgeous and sophisticated

Dress fits like a glove. Bra isn't even necessary although if you want one it is easily hidden in the shoulders. For a petite person the shoulder piece of the dress runs a little big so you may need to be a bit creative there.

In the end the dress is fantastic but it will take some patience and topstick to make it work.

The overall effect of the dress was beautiful. I received so many compliments that night. Fit runs a little small so size up. The weird thing about the dress is the lining. You can't tell from the photo but the lining sticks out a good 2-3 inches from the hem so you either have to get creative with topstick tape and take it up or bunch up the lining under the lace overlay (which just adds weird creases).

<3 THIS DRESS! great 4 Petites

This dress fit perfectly. The color is just like it looks and it seems to flatter all skin tones. I am 5'0" and the fit was perfect, as though it was made for petites. The belt detail is adorable as well. A perfect summer party or dress to attend a wedding.

Pretty but not for petites

This dress looks adorable on the hanger. Color and pattern are great. Once on though the combination of the tie going under the larger ruffle made for a very unflattering fit for someone who is shorter (I am 5"0"). On someone with a little more height that would provide more space between ruffle & tie, it would be really cute.

Hot dress!

I wore this dress to a red carpet event as a reward for recently losing 50 lbs and it did the trick. It looked fantastic, made me feel like a million bucks. Love the zipper up the front which made it easy to get into (and no deodorant smudges) and the structure of the dress made it s I didn't have to wear a bra, just a little topstick. I am short (5"0") and had no problem with the length or shoulders, so an A+ for petites as well.

Pretty but not petite friendly

This dress looks beautiful on the hanger but the one shoulder detail on a petite person is a little overwhelming. if you have small shoulders it tends to look a bit ike you are wearing an odd short sleeve shire on one side and extends up onto your neck on the other. Made me wish I had a vollyball player's shoulders and back though;)
