One thing I missed while pregnant was being able to wear flared dresses. ย I’m loving this dress so much! ย It’s simple, classic and very versatile. ย I’m happy to report it’s also petite friendly too!

For now, here are some great swimsuits to consider: (love the one pieces)

Anchor brooch, Halogen red bow suede pumps, Modcloth Charter School Cardigan in Red, Modcloth Luck Be a Lady Dress in Navy Contrast, nautical outfit, Red leather bow belt, Tory Burch striped toteSizing for this dress is in UK sizes so it may be a bit confusing for US ladies. ย I’m wearing size 4 UK which is equivalent to a 00P in US sizes. ย There isn’t much stretch in the waist or bust area so if you have a larger chest, I’d recommend sizing up. ย The length is great for petite gals (I’m 5′ tall) – no alterations needed. ย I paired this dress with a red cardiganย (buyย HERE)ย and added a vintage anchor brooch to give it a nautical twist. ย I wanted to define my postpartum waistline so I added a cute red bow belt. ย For more of a casual look, you can swap out heels for some flats and throw on a denim jacket.

This polka dot beauty is another favorite dress I got recently. ย If you love polka dots, you’re going to go crazy for this dress. ย It’s so comfortable and looks great worn alone (love the neckline and sleeves) or with a cardigan. ย The dress runs on the smaller side and doesn’t have any stretch. ย If you’re similar in size to me, then size small should fit you perfectly.

I’m anxiously waiting for THIS to be available in my size. ย I love that Modcloth emails you when something you want comes back in stock. ย They re-order based on community feedback so if you see something but your size is sold out, make sure to click the “I NEED IT” button. ย I’ve done this several times and it works like a charm!

  1. Hi there! I love that polka dot dress SO much! It looks adorable on you! Can you tell me the waist measurement though? I’m not sure if we’re the same size since I weigh a little more than you (97-98 lbs), but I’m also a bit taller (a whopping 5’3 haha).

  2. Don’t fret about a bathing suit. Modcloth carries esther williams suits. They are amazing. I love my esther williams polka dot suit. Remember took 9 months to make a baby. Give yourself 9 months to get back to shape safely and healthy.
