The look: garden party
Dress: below-the-knee, bright and summery; soft and flowing with flutter sleeves
Fabric: silk chiffon
Retail price for dress: $139
What to like about the dress: on trend for summer with its bright floral design; romantic impression
Good features for petites: soft, flowing fabric, V-neckline
Note for petites: Although Coldwater Creek offers many dresses in petite sizes, this dress is not among them; however, it will work for most petites because it's actually two separate pieces. The skirt should be no problem, and with this look, you'll want to go below the knee. One fitting problem that a short woman might encounter would be that if she has narrow shoulders, the top might be loose in that area, so an alteration might be necessary.
