While petite sizing can provide an ideal fit for women under 5'3, it IS possible to find flattering workwear dresses in standard sizing. The black work dress on the left is Maggy London's Donna Morgan Chase Dress (standard size 2) while the right is the brand's Margo dress (2P). I'm 4'11. TIPS for getting a flatter cut in standard sizing: 1) Look for silhouettes that appear like a mini dress or knee length on the model. 2) Seek out waistline details that help define your shape. Assess where that waist will hit you (e.g., empire waists or those slightly above the natural waistline will flatter while drop waist styles can be awkward.) 3) Ask the brand for recommendations - Most teams are highly knowledgeable about their styles and are happy to suggest standard size pieces that will work for us short gals!
