Hi all, I’m trying to help my GF find some work appropriate dresses (she’s a big law associate) that are flattering for a petite a-line frame. She’s got some dresses from MMLaFleur and Of Mercer and looking for some more. We’ve searched easily 50 sites (department stores, mall brands, etc) and have been striking out hard. Was wondering if anyone has any suggestions for smaller brands. Looking for anything basically <$500.

Love Ann Taylor petite and Calvin Klein petite!

Talbots and Nordstrom both have great petite women's clothing sections. Nordstrom's anniversary sale is coming up soon too. I highly recommend checking it out. Also the brand Tahari is also a great brand for petite women's dresses.

I wear the same brands. Can try Macy’s - there is usually a big selection. I also like Theory (although may not be enough of a waist), Calvin Klein, DKNY

You can try wearing Judith and Charles. My wife and sister in law like their clothing. They were also the wardrobe team for Donna and Rachel from Suits if that means anything lol.

My wife and sister in law are both petite size about 5'4-5 and wear 0 or 00 as a reference if that helps.

Rebecca Taylor?

I second Calvin Klein, they don’t last super long imo but lots of super cute cuts for <$90

Yep, Ann Taylor.

If you’re ever in the U.K., check out Autograph at M&S. Most the collections are available in short regular and long and super affordable.
