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.

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