Petite Outfit Idea #15 Petite in a Maxi? (Formal)

Boo!

How are we all doing? I hope you've all had a wonderful wonderful week :)

As a petite a maxi dress probably isn't the first clothing choice you'd go for. But so many petites wear them so so well and look absolutely stunning! It's just all about finish the right cut and shape for you. This week I wanted to share a maxi dress I feel comfortable in. To be honest I was always a bit scared of maxi dresses. Emm...what?? It sounds a little silly but it was just because I was far too worried about it looking ridiculous, drowning me or just looking really strange. So this is actually my first time in wearing a long dress. What do you think? :)


I mean it still doesn't fit totally because it's still way too long, even with humongous heels, but I'm really happy with it - and especially for the price, how could I say no? 

I needed a dress for a formal event, but didn't want to spend too much, as in reality I won't be wearing maxi dress very often. So when I came across this beauty on Missguided which dropped from £44.99 to £17.99 with all the discounts etc, I was very excited. Unfortunately this is currently out of stock, but I've tried to find some similar and have listed them below :)
Petite Outfit Idea: Petite Maxi Dress (Life as a Petite)


I decided to keep my accessories minimal as wearing a maxi dress seemed a lot already. But I really do love this bracelet and necklace, and actually really liked how this photo turned out haha.
Sparkly Belt (Life as a Petite)
The dress came with a white and gold belt, but I wanted to jazz the dress up with a bit more sparkle so opted for this instead :)

Gold Sparkly Clutch (life as a petite)
Pale Pink Platform Wedges (Life as a Petite)
Finally my shoes. What can I say apart from them being very high. I knew I would have to wear high shoes, so I opted for some wedges, and ankle straps for extra protection, so I could walk in them without worrying about falling over.

I hope you all enjoyed this post! Where do you all buy your maxis? And if you're a petite, have you or would you wear one? :)
I hope you all enjoy the rest of your weekend!

 Take care and speak soon.

    I have to agree with Maxi's not often fitting petits well - I am only 4ft11 and have always struggled to find one that actually works but I love yours and the shoes are amazing

    Such a pretty dress. Well I am 5ft2 so I am not a giant myself, lol, but I wear maxi's all the time but you already know that, though.

    This outfit looks great on you. Im 5'4 so can usually find dresses that aren't too long, but some are like the height of me and would be impossible to wear. I think a maxi is such a great style though, can be casual or formal depending on how you dress it.

    aww thank you so much Laura! I didn't realise you were a petite as well! I think there are some shops that do sell petite/shorter maxis, but they're usually at quite pricey prices:/ I wish there was a dedicated store to us petites haha x

    Sorry TT I don't know any shops, most of the time I don't even buy petite, it's hard to get anyway. If the dress/skirt is too long I wear higher heels. xox
