The best made-to-measure maxi dress for Petites. I have written some blog posts about sustainable fashion and brands. However, this is another level of stylish meets elegance. Last year, I ordered a very exciting maxi dress from a sustainable fashion brand in Africa. Firstly, I had no idea what the fit would be as it was personalised for my height. Secondly, I was very curious about the material and quality in general. However, when I received the made-to-measure maxi dress, I was speechless. But more about that later.

What is a Petite size in fashion?

Petite size in fashion means fashion made for short women under 5’4 (or 164cm). Women who are Petites need shorter inseam length, and shorter sleeves as well and the shoulder ratio is more narrow. Therefore, Petite women struggle with finding pants and maxi dresses that fit.

First impression of the Mailys maxi dress

When I first saw the Mailys maxi dress, the print was more beautiful in life than the photos. However, then I touched the fabric! Now I know what luxury and quality means. The fabric is the softest and nicest fabric I have ever had. Therefore, I am sure that it is the best dress I own (and I own a lot of dresses). If you do not like the print, there are many different patterns you can choose from. However, I went with the black and golden leaf print because it is unique enough yet simple so I can wear it a lot and never get bored of it!

Finally, I love how you can tie up the Mailys dress in more than 10-20 ways! As you see, you can even wear it as a skirt!

The pros and cons of Diarrablu dresses

Firstly, the Diarrablu brand and dresses mostly have pros, I will need to think a lot to come up with some cons! However, let’s start with the pros.

The reason I wanted to review and try out Diarrablu dresses for you, was the fact that you can personalize height. The made-to-measure concept is amazing not only for Petite women but also for tall women. Secondly, the luxurious material that I mentioned before feels amazingly on the body. Thirdly, the fit and possibility to tie up many of the dresses in different ways so you can create not just one look but 20 looks.

Diarrablu fashion is very unique, you will not see other women wear anything similar! The sustainability aspect is also very important in the modern world and adds value to the brand. Last but not least, if you love the print, you will find the design that best suits you and vice versa. How many times when shopping, do I love the print but do not love the design? Or I will love the design but hate the print? Not with Diarrablu dresses.

In conclusion, talking about cons. I would like Diarrablu to come up with a wedding dress collection for different weddings (boohoo, beach, princess, elegant etc.). However, the biggest con is that I cannot have them all!

Where to wear Diarrablu dresses?

Diarrablu dresses are perfect as wedding guest dresses. The fit and lightweight fabric makes these dresses, pants and jumpsuits suitable for vacation outfits in summer. However, I cannot wait to wear my Petite maxi dress for a date night in summer or spring.

Diarrablu fashion wishlist

I wanted to introduce you to other clothing items Diarrablu offers- like pants, tops, skirts and different dresses. Therefore, take a look at my wishlist! I love the maxi dresses. However, mini dresses would be more practical for me and my hot summer vacations around Spain!
