How to Wear a N Aline Short Dress

Dresses are flattering for all figures – we can use them to pinch in our waists, hide those bits we'd rather keep under wraps, and accentuate our favourite parts. Dress lengths, shapes and styles can be used to make us look taller, slimmer, bustier or more balanced, and you know what? They're comfortable, practical and can make us feel great. Read on to find out more about different types of dress length and which ones are best suited to your shape; we will look at the right dress lengths for short women, styles for curvy women and shapes for those hourglass figures among us.

Mini dresses

The first – and the shortest – of the dress lengths to consider is the mini dress. Although not always suitable for formal occasions, they are one of the most flattering hem lengths for most shapes and sizes. If you like your legs, whether you have an hourglass figure, an apple-shaped frame, or you're athletic, you can pull off this look beautifully. Shift dresses are cool and can look either cute or sophisticated, depending on the look you go for.

We love pink tiger high neck shift dress, the high neck will help to elongate your frame and the pattern is fresh and bright; this is the perfect style and dress length for short women as it will lengthen your legs and ensure you meet that all-important rule of 2/3 – 1/3 when styling. If you're embracing the late summer vibe or want to brighten up an autumnal cocktail party, our pineapple print mini dress is super cute and the off-the-shoulder look is perfect for those of us with an apple shaped figure.

Want something a little more bohemian? Try this Leopard Print Tiered Ruffle Mini Dress, which looks fabulous with sandals and a beach bag.

Knee length dresses

Ideal for apple shapes and athletic builds, as well as petite women (those of us under 5' 3" are classed as petite), knee length dresses for women can be dressed up for a party or dinner, and are perfect as work wear. Our belted blazer dress in green has that oh-so-flattering deep V-neck with a belt to pull it in at the waist – a classic look for work or for a dinner date.

If you want a more casual knee length look then our shell print strappy dress is perfect to layer up.

Midi dresses

If you're wondering about dress lengths for short women, then the midi dress is the only one we recommend that you avoid, as it will cut you off at the calf rather than elongating your figure.  Ideal, however, for apple or pear-shaped women and hourglass figures; hemlines that sit beneath your knee will elongate your frame and make you appear slimmer through the hip and thigh area – if that's what you're after! A-lines like this lilac pleated dress look beautiful in this length, the tie waist enhancing your silhouette perfectly. A wrap dress like this white and pink midi with ruched detail will pinch you in at the waist – if you're concerned about unwanted cleavage, layer a cami underneath.

Looking for a sophisticated midi dress? Look no further. Our Black and Pink Marble Print Mesh Ruched Midi Dress offers a timeless piece to add to your wardrobe. Designed to create a flattering silhouette, this dress is perfect to be paired with a pair of heels and a classic bag.

Maxi dresses

Who doesn't love a maxi dress? They are the sirens of summer, but also the unsung heroes of winter when layered up. If you're apple shaped then opt for a lower neckline or a strapless maxi dress length to balance your figure – we love this black floral ruffle skirt maxi. Hourglass and petite women should add a belt to very flowy dresses or opt for an empire shape like this beautiful blue floral dress.  If you like in-between dress lengths, then this midaxi dress with puff shoulders and bold print should be right up your street.

Whatever your preference in dress lengths and style, we have a whole range to suit you – whether you want to find a wrap dress to accentuate your waist or the right dress lengths for short women, check out our range of dresses for women to find your next look.
