Maxi dress for petites?

[acmom]

I live the maxi dress look on friends but haven't found one that works for me. I am 5'2" and most are way too long. I could hem them but then sometimes I find it throws the proportions off.

Anyone found a cute petite option recently?

I just got one at an Ann Taylor factory store in an outlet mall, so if you have one near you, I'd check there. IIRC they had a couple of styles in petites. Mine is a black and white geometric print with a scoop neck and back, but it must be made especially for the factory store because I can't find a picture of it online. The Ann Taylor and Loft websites have a couple of styles in petite sizes as well.

I'm 5'2" too. I got a petite sized maxi dress from Boden last year. The length was perfect for flats. 30% off ends tonight.

I got a really cute maxi dress from Kohls a few weeks ago.

It's this dress, but in petite and navy/white stripes. I'm 4'11" and the M fit me perfectly (I'm about a 10 in pants). It is the perfect length.

It's not on the website but you might try in store.

Bonus, it was about 19.99.

I bought a few from gap.com they have petite lengths. They are still a bit long on me and I might have them hemmed an inch.

I am 5'3" and got a cute one last year from the petite department at the Loft outlet. They had the same style in a different pattern this year and I almost bought it, but talked myself out of it because I have more dresses than I wear now...

I bought one from Piperlime from Hive and Honey that worked well for me. I'm 5' 2".

I'm a size 6 in dresses and needed the xs but I have a small chest.
