Women's Petite Dresses

Would you settle for shoes that are two sizes too large? Of course not. The same applies to dresses. Find petite dresses that fit your frame, with no alterations required. Macy’s has something for you whether you’re shopping for a special occasion or replenishing your supply of everyday black dresses for petite sizes.

The Perfect Fit

Are you wondering how women’s petite dresses differ from other women’s dresses? Yes, they’re shorter at the hemline, of course. But they’re also cut to fit proportionally throughout the body. That means sleeve cuffs hit where they’re supposed to. Bodices are sized for smaller torsos, so the waistline sits at your actual waist.

Another plus? A great fit elongates your frame, too. This is especially helpful when you want to look your best for a special occasion, so don't forget to check out Macy’s selection of petite cocktail dresses, petite evening dresses, and petite mother-of-the-bride styles.

Petite Dresses for Day, Night, Work, Weekend & More

There’s no need to limit yourself to petite formal dresses. Maybe you've previously dismissed maxi dresses because they can be tricky for short-statured women. Side-step the problem with maxi dresses for petite sizes, which don’t require hemming. Have you ever tried on a women’s midi dress and then watched in disappointment as it descended to your ankles? Try midi dresses for petites instead, and you’ll see the difference immediately.

Are you shopping for summer dresses for petites? You’ll find many great options in lightweight fabrics and unique designs, all fitted perfectly for a petite frame. Are you expecting? All the same rules––sized-down proportions, shorter cuffs, and hems–– apply to petite maternity dresses, and they'll accommodate a growing belly, too.

You deserve the perfect fit. Get it with women’s petite clothing from Macy’s.
