Wedding guest dresses and skirts can be especially tricky for petite shoppers, since formal styles tend to have longer hemlines that don’t always hit where you want them to. Most of these picks are available in petite sizing, making them more likely to fit as intended. For a summer wedding, we love the below floral maxi from M&S, Ro&Zo’s abstract skirt, and Amazon Essentials’ easy pull-on style, each of which pairs with a kitten heel and statement earrings. For black-tie or evening affairs, RIXO’s lace-trim midi brings a touch of minimalist romance.
