Our Style Experts Talk About How to Shop For Petite Dresses And Find Fits That Look Incredible On Shorter Frames.

Just because you’re short in height doesn’t mean you can’t aim high on style--especially when you’re wearing Leina & Fleur. One of the most common questions we get asked by women who are under 165 cm tall is whether our dresses will be too long on them.  Our answer is always a resounding ‘NO’. It doesn’t matter if you’re small in stature: if you love the style of the dress, the print, the cut and the colour, then the length should not deter you.

When looking for dresses as a petite woman, you should focus on the things you love about the garment. For example, do you like the feeling of wrap dresses or do you prefer a more fit and flare style? Do you like a delicate print? Or a bold plain colour? Look for shapes and colours you like and let the length fall where it may.

At Leina & Fleur we have many customers who fall into the petite height category--with at least a third of our ladies being in the petite range. Our customers find styles that suit them based on their own unique measurements and body shape, not based on the ease with which they can reach things on high shelves or see over people in crowds.

"We may be small but we are strong. We wear the dresses, the dresses never wear us!”

“I own five Andi skirts .. it's the only skirt I wear! Works on all heights (just wear her high or low on the torso) and is absolutely lovely on curves. Very comfortable too and I wore my Andi's all through pregnancy, it is a most versatile piece."
