It can be hard to find clothes that properly fit my 5'0" frame, especially when it comes to finding wedding guest dresses. I'm always tempted to buy a floor-sweeping maxi dress, but a regular size with my height would be dragging behind me rather than elegantly swaying around my ankles. But after years of shopping for formal dresses, I've finally figured out what to look for - and I've found some personal favorites too. I would rather avoid a trip to the tailor if possible, so I usually look for dresses made in petite sizes, which are almost guaranteed to fit perfectly.
