Wedding looks for short girls

It’s that time of year again. Smile through gritted teeth. It’s time to hunt down ‘that’ dress. The elusive dress that ticks all the boxes. It’s A) a beautiful colour, B) a beautiful shape and C) actually fits. Standing in at 5’2″ I am not going to be scouted by a model agency any time soon and there are a certain number of shops that I simply avoid buying dresses in. I have experience of midi dresses fitting like maxi dresses and maxi dresses trailing along the floor.However, over the years I have found a good number of retailers that think of the shorter girl, either in dedicated petite sections or by carrying a few styles that are cut to a slightly shorter length.

Here are a few of my favourite looks online at the moment. I think the midi dress is the ultimate wedding guest look at the moment. More modern than shorter styles and without the try-hard nature of some maxi dresses. Skirt and top combos are also a great option as they can easily be worn again and mixed with other items in your wardrobe. Been invited to a number of weddings this summer? Lucky you! Buy a nice neutral skirt and change the top for each one. No one will know any better.
