Petite Review: Petite Friendly Brand- Love 21

Outfits|May 5, 2010

I told myself I was going to limit buying more clothes from Forever 21 but I had a gift card that I had to use up and found this dress last weekend. This dress is from the Love 21 line which is supposed to run larger than the normal F21 sizes. I found this dress in an XS and the quality and fit looked promising.

Dress: Love 21 Belted scarf dress- size XS (similar HERE and HERE)

Shoes: Nine West Nude Pumps– size 5

I couldn’t believe how well this dress fit and the style is much more sophisticated than other F21 dresses. And because it came in an XS- the cut was petite friendly! And this dress is fully lined so you don’t have to worry about it being too thin or see-through. I’m not sure if you can tell but there is a bow that ties at the neck. At first- it reminded me of a flight attendent’s uniform or one of my old elementary teacher’s blouses. The only complaint is that the armholes are a tad large so therefore you have to be careful when wearing a bra.

The belt adds are really nice touch and actually fit my waist! I forgot to look for what type of material this is but it feels like silk- very soft against the skin.

The dress is a perfect length and very work appropriate.

Here’s the back of the dress so you can see how it lays and there are 3 buttons on the neck and a slit in the middle. And has a side zip.

I couldn’t find this exact dress so either it’s so new they haven’t added it online or it’s older and I was able to find it in store. But I was able to find some really nice work dresses below for everyone 🙂
