To pick a perfect Valentine’s Day Dress can be daunting task to do for some people. Simply because, its a special day to celebrate your loved ones in a romantic way as many will agree with me. From fancy candle lit dinner dates to quiet relaxing spa experiences and sentimental gift sharing to name but a few.

The best part about having Valentine’s Day plans is dressing the part. It may be a girl’s night out for cocktails or a romantic dinner at a cozy restaurant with your significant other. Red and pink are thought of as the two most romantic colors. I have put together my perfect petite Valentine’s day dress edit. If you love to dress up, feel and look beautiful like me, keep reading.

Perfect Pink Dresses

Neutrals will always have a place in our wardrobes, but for Valentine-styling, color is the way to go. Bright colors exude joy, which is exactly what is called for. With this in mind, here are my favorite special occasion pink dress looks.

1. Never Fully Dressed fuchsia Vienna midi dress
2. ANDREEVA Love Dress
3. Zara Satin Effect Mini Dress
4. Etsy Tassel Sequin Feather Dress
5. Never Fully Dressed Pink Sparkle Mini Dress

Statement Red Dresses

These Bold Red looks are perfect for February 14^th. My petite dress picks include a statement blazer mini dress. Shorter dress lengths are perfect for Petites, anything that hits three or more inches above your knee will do wonders for lengthening your legs. A dress with a side split will give more definition and balance to smaller figures. The Pomona dress by Amanda Uprichard for Revolve is currently on sale and a perfect example.

1. Amy Lynn Gracie Satin Color Block Slip Dress
2. Amanda Uprichard Revolve Pomona Dress
3. Macy’s Gold Tone Heart Statement Necklace
4. Macy’s Gold Tone Heart Drop Earrings

 Printed Dresses

I myself am a huge fan of prints and you too can wear prints if you want to! Proportion in prints is really important for petites. A tip was shared with me saying that the print should be no bigger than the palm of your hand. You too might find this helpful when selecting printed dresses to wear. ANDREEVA currently have beautiful dresses on sale that are perfect for Valentine’s Day Dress occassion, the Faena dress is stunning, and its vertical stripe design will create the illusion of height.

1. ANDREEVA Faena Dress
2. ANDREEVA The Kiss Dress
3. Never Fully Dressed Pink Blossom Ria Dress
4. Vero Moda Nala One Shoulder Dress Bloomingdales

Accessorize to complete your look

If you like to accessorize, wear jewelry or carry a handbag, choose delicate pieces like minimal chains and small purses that match your small stature. Smaller items won’t overpower you. That said I enjoy vibrant and colorful costume jewelry, it can balance a solid color outfit adding a fun element to your look.

1. Zara Metallic Gold Platform Heel Sandal
2. Zara Metallic Pink Leather Heeled Sandal
3. Astor and Orion Heart Threader Earrings
4. Amy Lynn Savannah Pink Sequin Blazer
5. ZARA Gold Crossbody Clutch
6. Etsy Solid Gold Heart Studs

5 dress styling tips for Petites

Here are some great tips I have picked up for styling petite fashion, I hope you find them useful.

• Create the illusion of length in height by using shades of a single colour in your outfit to create a vertical line.
• Shorter dress lengths.
• Enhance your waist whenever possible.
• Fold back and roll up oversized sleeves.
• A platform shoe is a great way to add height to your stature.
