This knit dress is made of pima, a rare form of cotton that is softer, finer, and more durable than regular cotton and considered more luxurious than other cottons.  The dress features hand-knotted macrame straps.

You can buy this elegant dress when you shop online at the Peruvian Connection.  They ship worldwide and have a number of websites for their customers all over the world, including peruvianconnection.com (U.S. and all non-European countries), peruvianconnection.co.uk (Europe and the U.K.), and peruvianconnection.de (Germany).  See their women’s clothing sale section, too.

Blue Dress Made from Pima, World’s Finest Cotton

(This has nothing to do with the dress, but check this out:  when I first looked at this model’s arms, I thought they were really hairy, but then I realized it was some sort of flaw in the photo.  Haha.  Did you think that too??)

Anyway, back to the important business of clothes shopping!  This stylish skirt has a crinoline underlay, and the top features rhinestone embellishments.  It’s made in petite sizes from small to large (petite refers to height only).  The black skirt is currently on sale.

Buy these at the online store, Dillard’s.  They offer women’s clothing in plus sizes, too.  Dillard’s ship to the United States.

Petites — 10 Online Clothing Shops

Myshape.com caters specifically to the petite woman.  I had a hard time choosing which dresses to feature because they have so many great ones.  I finally decided to go with these two in sapphire blue:

The above Donna Ricco dress comes in stretch satin and is described as “siren-worthy.”   

This Donna Morgan dress comes in taffeta with a removable sash.  Love the retro 50’s look.

While browsing through their selection, I came across sizes as large as XL-P and 16P. 

One more tip for petite women:  dressing all in one color gives visual length and will make you appear taller.

Even if you’re not in need of petite sized clothes, visit myshape.com to check out their hilarious Embarrassing Fashion Moments page.  The story from Cindy (approximately the second one down) had me rolling with laughter.
