Shoes: Christian Louboutin – size 34.5 (buy here)
After being convinced by so many of ladies, I’ve decided to keep this dress. I still can’t get over the price tag but will just make it a point to wear it as often as possible. I have a love/hate relationship with Anthropologie. They rarely offer free shipping (minimum purchase is $175+) and the good sales are far and few between. Most stores don’t carry petites in-stores which makes it difficult for me to avoid having to order and then return. Their sizing is very inconsistent due to all the different brands/vendors that they carry.
Nonetheless, I’m loving the way this dress fits. It’s completely different than any other dresses I own. It’s fun and bold but still classy enough to wear to work. Even though the prices at Anthropologie is much higher than I prefer to spend, they have a lot of unique pieces. I like that they offer petite sizing which gives us shorter gals another option when shopping.
Some other dresses I think are great options for petites are:
– Grisaille hourglass dress
– Lacebloom dress (very Kate Spade-esque)
– Romana dress
– Paned hourglass column dress
If you are in need of a navy blue lace dress, the one I reviewed here is a great option too.
Do you shop at Anthropologie?
I’ve had a look at their website, but haven’t shopped an Anthropologie due to the price. The dress does look stunning on you!

Love that dress, I just think it would look better with some darker shoes…navy perhaps?
Yeah I originally wore it with many pumps 🙂

I love this dress on you. I’ve been reading your blog religiously but never left a comment before! You are my favorite petite-blogger. Great taste & style, and you post often!! 🙂 Keep up the great work X

You look absolutely stunning in this dress Annie! I’m so glad it’s a keeper. I like the blush combination here but I also loved the dress with your navy pumps too (and it would also look great paired with one of your Chanel bags). There are so many options/pairings with the colorblocking in this dress! I’m sad this dress is sold out but I hope it pops back so that I can try it on for size. I never really shopped at Anthropologie because they run bigger in the regular sizing but I’ll have to give their petites a chance. I can only hope I look have as good as you do. <3
Aw Jess. You are too kind to me! Thanks for enabling me to keep this dress. I hope it pops back up too! I’ll keep a look out. Lol

Just stating the truth. 🙂 I was looking for a back in stock reminder button but couldn’t find one. Then again it was late last night when I looked. I should have bought it when you first showed me. *pouty face*

I love this dress on you– the design is really unique! I find that the petite sizing at Anthro can be hit or miss so I’m glad that you found a dress that worked out for you. Maybe I’ll give them another try, I’ve been eyeing a sheath on their site! BTW I received the BR sloan pants the other day and they fit pretty well, I recommend trying them 🙂
Thanks Lily! I find their sizing to be hit or miss too so I was shocked when this fit so well! I have yet to order the Sloan pants but plan on it soon! It’s been highly recommended so I’m curious about how they will look 🙂

There is a great deal of color blocking with this dress. I like the dress, but I think the color blocking could have been done much better and styled better. Maybe even with a better set of colors. No complaints about the pumps and the handbag. As usual, you have a pretty smile and a lovely hairstyle.

You look gorgeous in that dress!! I’ve never bought from them before.
That is a gorgeous dress on you!! I’ve never yet bought anything from there!
I agree with the love/hate on anthropologie…especially when it comes to their sizing…I have had such bad luck lately with online shopping and sizing…:-(
