Best Petite Maxi Dresses 2012

Welcome to this guide to the Best Petite Maxi Dresses available to buy online for 2012.  Here you will find gorgeous dresses in a wide range of designs to suit all budgets.

Maxi Dresses can be worn by Women of all body shapes but shorter women or petite women can have a hard time finding maxi dresses that fit perfectly. It can become frustrating trying on dresses that are just too long so they pool on the floor.

Many high street stores now have a Petite section within their range and we've picked out some of the most gorgeous styles below for both evening wear and day time wear.

Debenhams Petite Black Sequinned Chiffon Maxi Dress

Debenhams have an extensive range of Petite Clothing so of course they could be relied on to stock a gorgeous Maxi Dress in Petite sizes.  This elegant black dress features a striking sequinned band, with some added sparkle on the shoulders also. The crossover, low cut design is very flattering and the high waist band ensures it hides a less than toned tummy.  Perfect for wearing to parties or other special evenings out. Priced at just £60.00 it's excellent value for money.

So there you have our guide to the Best Petite Maxi Dresses. It's well worth looking for brands that stock Petite clothing rather than buying something that is to long and adjusting it yourself. Raising the hem may stop the dress from dragging on the floor but chances are the proportions of the rest of the dress will not be cut to flatter your petite frame.
