They also show their items on average women as well as models.<br /><a href="http://www.kiyonna.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.kiyonna.com/</a></p> <p>Eloquii is 14 and up and is a little more fashion forward. They are a big favorite with the plus bloggers so there are also a lot of pictures available on non models.<br /><a href="http://www.eloquii.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.eloquii.com/</a></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cute-summer-dress-recommendations-for-a-plus-petite-pear#post-1695805 Sat, 16 Jul 2016 18:11:45 +0000 Ivy 1695805@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you so much!! I'll be browsing Talbots, Lands End &amp; eShakti this morning. You guys have the best ideas </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cute-summer-dress-recommendations-for-a-plus-petite-pear#post-1695769 Sat, 16 Jul 2016 16:56:50 +0000 Chris987 1695769@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for Talbots. </p> <p>Also Lands End carries fit 'n flare dresses in petite sizes, mostly pretty classic/traditional. They have sheaths and a-line dresses too. Check out sizing, it looks like some of them may not come in your size. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cute-summer-dress-recommendations-for-a-plus-petite-pear#post-1695748 Sat, 16 Jul 2016 15:16:45 +0000 Thistle 1695748@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like these, and you can see the shrug in the pictures</p> <p><a href="https://www.talbots.com/online/browse/product_details.jsp?id=prdi37828&#038;defaultColor=5917&#038;N=4294966545+10189&#038;selectedConcept=Woman+Petites" rel="nofollow">https://www.talbots.com/online.....an+Petites</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.talbots.com/online/browse/product_details.jsp?id=prdi37769&#038;defaultColor=8063&#038;N=4294966545+10189&#038;No=0&#038;selectedConcept=Woman+Petites&#038;_=1468681980441&#038;Nrpp=24&#038;Nr=AND(OR(product.siteId%3ATalbotsSite)%2COR(product.catalogId%3Acatalog20002)" rel="nofollow">https://www.talbots.com/online.....alog20002)</a>)</p> <p>Sheath dress or two</p> <p><a href="https://www.talbots.com/online/browse/product_details.jsp?id=prdi37470&#038;defaultColor=9997&#038;N=4294966545+10189&#038;No=0&#038;selectedConcept=Woman+Petites&#038;_=1468682050446&#038;Nrpp=24&#038;Nr=AND(OR(product.siteId%3ATalbotsSite)%2COR(product.catalogId%3Acatalog20002)" rel="nofollow">https://www.talbots.com/online.....alog20002)</a>)</p> <p><a href="https://www.talbots.com/online/browse/product_details.jsp?id=prdi37471&#038;defaultColor=7991&#038;N=4294966545+10189&#038;No=0&#038;selectedConcept=Woman+Petites&#038;_=1468682095908&#038;Nrpp=24&#038;Nr=AND(OR(product.siteId%3ATalbotsSite)%2COR(product.catalogId%3Acatalog20002)" rel="nofollow">https://www.talbots.com/online.....alog20002)</a>)</p> <p>And the stores carry stuff not on the web if there's one close to you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cute-summer-dress-recommendations-for-a-plus-petite-pear#post-1695742 Sat, 16 Jul 2016 15:11:00 +0000 Thistle 1695742@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Check Talbots. Online and if there's a store by you.</p> <p>They've been running huge summer sales, so their inventory might be slim.</p> <p>If you like a sleeveless dress (they have LOTS of those in fit and flare) they sell coordinating shrugs that actually look good with fit and glare dresses.</p> <p>Also, check their skirts. I'm also pear shaped but with a long torso, so I have trouble with dresses. They have lots of fit and flare skirts, too. With the right shirt, it can be as dressy as a dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cute-summer-dress-recommendations-for-a-plus-petite-pear#post-1695494 Sat, 16 Jul 2016 04:27:10 +0000 Jenn 1695494@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You could also try eShakti. They have a ton of fit and flare styles, automatically hem to your height, and you can add sleeves to any dress for about $10. The only thing is that a lot of their fabrics are casual, so you'll have to be particular. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cute-summer-dress-recommendations-for-a-plus-petite-pear#post-1695460 Sat, 16 Jul 2016 03:08:31 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1695460@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>When I read plus petite I always think of Talbots. They've got some great summer dresses this year, florals if that's your thing or solids. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cute-summer-dress-recommendations-for-a-plus-petite-pear#post-1695453 Sat, 16 Jul 2016 02:52:52 +0000 crazyone 1695453@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not sure Madewell is great for plus size, doesn't their sizing run out at 12 or 14? &nbsp;But some of their pieces do run a little big. &nbsp;</p> <p>I found this thread while googling, maybe it will help you?&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://ask.metafilter.com/220457/Classic-like-Madewell-not-classic-like-Ann-Taylor">http://ask.metafilter.com/2204.....Ann-Taylor</a></p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cute-summer-dress-recommendations-for-a-plus-petite-pear#post-1695438 Sat, 16 Jul 2016 02:21:37 +0000 Ivy 1695438@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Brooklyn!&nbsp;Another place I haven't tried. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cute-summer-dress-recommendations-for-a-plus-petite-pear#post-1695412 Sat, 16 Jul 2016 01:34:19 +0000 Brooklyn 1695412@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's winter where I am!

The rehearsal and dinner are deliberately casual, but I'm the bride's honor attendant so a smart casual option would be fine.</p> <p>Has anyone run across or can recommend a dress that might work? Thanks! </p>
