Get 20% off everything with code: XMASSHIPUS – ends 12/16 plus free shipping both ways (no minimum) and free returns. Keep in mind the quality of ASOS is not the best. I only have a couple of dresses and the sizing is very strange. The US 1 petite runs smaller than H&M’s US size 2. The regular size 2 runs bigger than a 0 or 00. You can always buy and return for free so definitely less risk. If you are between sizes, I would size up or order both and return one. Be careful when trying items on – do not get make-up or stains on them because ASOS will not allow you to return them. Many people have had issues with this so be extra cautious.
If you are looking for something to wear on New Years eve, here are some of my picks:
– Black and white cocktail dress (sz US 1- US 12 petite and comes in 2 colors)
– Corset with fold details (sz US 1- US 12 petite and comes in black and rose)
– Exaggerated bow (sz Us 2 – US 12 and comes in 3 colors- love the rust color)
– Pleated bandeau in wine (sz US 1 – US 12 petite)
I’ve been looking for a cocktail/evening dress for an upcoming event I have in a few months. I’m shopping early because I don’t want to panic at the last minute. Any suggestions of brands and styles would be greatly appreciated! I am looking for something short (no long evening gowns) and something simple and classy.
Do you have a Zara by you?? This dress (http://www.zara.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product/us/en/zara-us-W2011/122017/581024/PIQUE%2BDRESS) is really petite-friendly – especially for Zara – and the green is gorgeous. It could be nice for a cocktail party!
I need to check out this store. Everyone is raving about it.

Thanks JJ….I don't have a Zara by me and I need something a bit more dressier. Thanks so much for looking out 🙂
going to asos now… 😀
I have the ASOS the one-shoulder cocktail dress in the mink-coral color combination. I ordered a UK6 Petite (after having heard that ASOS petite sizes tend to run very small in the chest. However, this dress is surprisingly tight in the hips but bigger in the chest area. Instead of the UK6 fitting tight in the chest an being sightly too big in the hips (which is what I expected) it was the other way around. I still like the overall fit though and kept the dress. For reference, I am 5.2" and my measurements are 33-24-33. If you have bigger ships, be aware that you might have to go up a size.
