Thanks 11:55 and 12:52! Love the florals, color, and cut of several of your picks.

I have been looking for the same for my son's bar mitzvah. I have been having a lot of trouble.

I was hoping for more color and this needs to be hemmed and worn with a shell, but this worked: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GF4H1PYG?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1&psc=1

I ordered these from Macys and haven't gotten them yet:

https://www.macys.com/shop/product/adrianna-papell-womens-v-neck-midi-dress?ID=25573308

Also, see what you can find on thredup because there is a lot of selection.

Good luck.

Will check out Dillard's and Adrianna Papell - thanks for the suggestions!

Dillards is better than Macys for dresses.

Good option - trying on in person is better than shopping online. Just wish more brands carried petite sizes!

It's nice! Would need to see that button neckline closer up; hemming it wouldn't be too bad.

Thanks for taking the time to post! I forget about Macy's - I'd say the suggestions are in the ballpark.

Out of the links, I like: 3 (like floral, maybe too stiff), 6 (like the flowy, but beading is a bit too fancy for likely re-wear)

I could do sleeveless if I can't find a short sleeve dress I like. I don't like wrap dresses or ones that tie at the waist.

I like this one but the colors are so dark: https://www.anthropologie.com/shop/hybrid/the-peregrine-silky-midi-dress

I like this one but they're out of my size: https://us.boden.com/products/women-pleat-v-neck-dress-pink-elaborate-blossom-d1597mul

Like this but feels a little too casual: https://www.ebay.com/itm/177661080206

PP...are the above too informal?

Try Macy's online.

Here are a couple starters...any of these along the right lines? It helps if you explain your taste and which ones are on track. Would you pick a sleeveless style and wear with a shawl or shrug?

I'm looking for a cute dress to wear to an evening garden wedding late spring. I'm feeling like something longer so have been looking for a midi dress. I prefer a dress already sized in petites so it hits the right place without tailoring. I've scoured all my usual places where I find petite sizes - Anthropologie, JCrew, Nordstrom. I like color, flowy (apple shaped), not too much bare skin. Any suggestions on where else to look?
