What is a sweater dress?
A sweater dress is made out of knitted or crocheted material, usually heavy and meant to be warm for cold weather.
Sweater dress style tips for Petite women
Avoid baggy sweater dresses. As a short woman, I would suggest you avoid baggy and oversized sweater dresses. However, if you get a baggy dress, cinch it in with a belt for a more flattering hourglass figure and choose a mini-dress version of it.
As always, I would suggest going for the V-neckline and not very wide round and boat neckline. However, talking about sleeves, I always love shorter sleeves like 2/3 sleeves or sleeves that are fitted.
Last but not least, my personal favourite is sweater dresses that already have a sew-in belt for cinching in or more elegant bodycon dresses.
How to style a sweater dress?
Firstly, if you have a wider loose tunic-type sweater dress, wear it with leggings. You can choose the normal casual cotton leggings or leather leggings for a more stylish look. However, I also like to style sweater dresses with jeggings or skinny jeans. This style will give a more casual look and turn the dress into a long sweater.
Secondly, if you have an elegant sweater dress, wear it to an office to keep you warm or even a theatre. However, do not wear it with leggings or jeans. Wear the bodycon dress with feminine ankle to knee-high boots. Finally, you can add more interesting print tights for a stylish look. For example, a leopard print.
Where to shop for sweater dresses as a Petite woman
Last but not least, where to buy sweater dresses as a Petite woman under 5’4 (164)? My favourite affordable online retailers for essentials are ASOS and Boohoo. However, the brown dress I have and a few more I have had in the past, I got from DressLily (use code KRISTINE20).
Last but not least, for more luxurious dresses, check out Karen Millen. Karen Millen is any feminine woman’s dream!
