18 best maxi dresses for petite women in 2021 - TODAY - TODAY

There's so much to love about a maxi dress. Forget to shave your legs? Self-tanning disaster? No problem. Maxis are airy and effortless, easy and breezy. They're the ultimate one-and-done outfit. Just throw on a cute pair of shoes and you're good to go.

But as a short women like me know, it can be hard to find petite maxi dresses that aren't tripping hazards. That's why I took the liberty of rounding up the best ankle-grazing numbers that you won't trip over. If you're thinking to yourself, "But a maxi dress will overwhelm my petite body," think again.

"I love maxi dresses on petite women because they help to elongate shorter frames," New York City-based stylist Samantha Brown told Shop TODAY. "For added length, add a wedge sandal underneath and keep the hemline to the floor."

From a slit style to a floral short-sleeve design, here are 18 floor-length dresses that your tailor doesn't want you to know about!

2. Lands' End Petite Sleeveless Tiered Maxi Dress

The 5'4"-and-under set rave about this tiered jersey dress that comes in 12 patterns including rainbow stripe and orange colorblock.

3. Soma Sunday Bra Dress

The Best Petite Summer Dresses 2021 for All Occasions - Vogue

Posted: 26 May 2021 11:47 AM PDT

For anyone under 5'4", the search for the best petite summer dresses is on. Warmer days are ahead and vacation plans are in sight. At 5'2", I've been accustomed to having friends and colleagues tower over me all my life. Instead of trying to match their height with a pair of sky-scraping stilettos, I learned to embrace my petite frame and shop what I loved, and what I loved were dresses. But as many women in this size group know, there's a strong chance that if you're not paying attention to proportions, a new dress purchase might mean an extra foot of fabric we don't need and ultimately, a trip to the tailor.

I used to think I couldn't wear long maxi dresses, but they have now become my everyday uniform. If shopping online, the trick is to always check the garment's "length" measurements to ensure it will fit your frame before checking out. (I look for dresses with a length of 51 inches and under, but the sweet spot is 40-45 inches.) I promise it will save you a headache from having to return it afterward. If you're shopping at a retailer with an actual petite section, rejoice! They are far and few between, but labels like Reformation are making it easier to shop for petite sizes. And if you're a fan of Hill House Home's iconic Nap dress, trust me that I've road-tested both their signature Ellie and Nesli dresses, and they fit perfectly, coming down to just above my ankles. Proenza Schouler is one of my favorite, go-to designer labels for dresses for all occasions—from work to weddings. I have always found their dresses to fit my petite frame, without ever requiring a hemline fix.

Whether you're looking to shop for an upcoming event, vacation, or preparing to go back to the office—these do not disappoint. Ahead, shop 24 of the best petite summer dresses to suit any of your future plans.
