Petite Dresses for Women

What is a petite dress?

Our petite dresses are designed for women who are 5’3’’ and under, offering a precise fit that enhances and flatters smaller frames. Each petite dress features carefully adjusted proportions - including shorter hemlines, repositioned waistlines, and scaled sleeve lengths - to ensure the design sits perfectly on the body. These tailored adjustments create a balanced silhouette that elongates the figure and provides a comfortable, elegant fit. Whether it’s a tailored dress or flowing gown, find perfectly proportioned dresses for petite women at Karen Millen.

What style of petite dresses does Karen Millen offer?

Karen Millen offers a wide variety of petite dress styles to suit every occasion, season and style. For everyday wear, you’ll find stylish shirt dresses, casual denim pieces, and soft knitted dresses that bring comfort and polish to daytime dressing. When it comes to formal occasions, our range includes petite wedding guest dresses, floor-length ball gowns and statement embellished styles that make a striking impression at black tie events. Each piece is crafted with attention to detail, premium fabrics, and expert cuts to ensure petite women can enjoy timeless style, effortless wearability and a flawless fit from day to night.

How do I choose the right petite dress for my body shape?

Our collection of petite dresses is designed to complement a range of body types. Fitted and belted silhouettes are ideal for defining the waist and creating feminine shape, while a-line and empire-line dresses offer graceful, flowing movement to your look. Structured styles, such as tailored midis or bodycon fits, provide a sculpted finish, ideal for formal occasions. Whatever your style, our petite dresses are designed with proportion and balance in mind, helping to elongate the frame and flatter your figure.
