Bodice runs small size up
8R did not fit so I ordered the 10R which was perfect. This is a pretty and well made dress and can even be worn at work with a cardigan. It’s lined with a light fabric but would be too hot for an out door summer event. Easy to wash and hang dry without ironing. The Liberty Print is lovely.

Beautiful super sexy
Very low cut and a long length for a petite but I loved it, looked great and will rent again. Soft but tailored. Lined and elegant. May be a little heavy for hot weather so stay in the A/C!

So pretty but not for me
The cut and quality are beautiful but the patterns and colors looked clowny on me! This would be a fantastic party dress on the right person. Nice for petites.

Swing Flora Dress

Usual Size: 8
Height: 5' 1"

Bust: 38B
uncomfortable and drab
Seemed Okay for a summer work from home day with a cardigan (zoom) but felt and looked like an apron and I never wore it outside of the house. I liked the tablecloth like fabric but the straps are too thin and dug into my shoulders, as for the hook in the back. Over all, really uncomfortable.

Stripe Tie Waist Dress

Beautiful and whimsical
It’s silk and beautifully made. But usually my color but it worked because it’s on the blue side of lavender. I wanted to wear this every day - fit beautifully and perfect for petites (sleeve length just right)

Perfect
Held over because I could not let it go then I bought it. Beautifully made, easy to wash, travels well, a great summer dress and flattering for petites. Lightweight but the pattern allows you to wear without a bra. I wore in the city and in the country! You can adjust the fullness of the skirt. Note: A big size difference between 44 and 42 - 42 was perfect for me.

Great jacket
Great look with black trousers. Well made and pretty colors. I’m petite so I rolled the super long sleeves under - it looked okay but the buttons were uncomfortable by end day.

Fun dress but chest too large and deep
No stretch so the gathered chest was just too big and also too low cut. Might work for someone taller.

A winner at work or play
Light wool jersey-tailored but also soft, a polished look for cool spring days. Good fit for petites. I wore a silk tank under, a great look
