The effortlessness of a dress is simply undeniable. It's a one-and-done outfit that takes mere seconds to throw together, works well for practically every occasion on your calendar, and makes you look put-together (and incredibly stylish) with very minimal effort. As such, you can never have too many dresses, and as easy as they make getting dressed, finding the right one is another story, especially when you're petite.

Shopping for dresses takes a bit more thought and consideration for petite women, and finding a length and silhouette that works can be a challenge. To help you find the best dresses for petite women, we turned to Amazon and the bountiful customer reviews, searching for styles that women 5'5" and under seem to be shopping nonstop. Read on for the styles that earned rave reviews.

Milumia Shift Dress ($22)

"Cute, just right. I thought it would be shorter and I don't enjoy short dresses so I bought it to wear as a blouse. I'm pretty petite at 5'1, so the length was perfect for me for a dress. Cute, fresh, no need for a slip, so quite perfect." — bez

Naggo Wrap Dress ($20)

"I love this dress. It fits great, perfect length, although I am only 5'3" …so it might be short if you are taller." — Mary

R.Vivimos Knit Dress ($24)

"I'm a very petite girl—5 feet, 110 pounds. Curvy. This fit perfect. Not super tight but tight enough. I got a small. Good quality and not see-through at all. Worth the $20." — Tori

Floerns Corduroy Overall Sheath Pinafore Dress ($20)

"Love it so much. It is SO HARD to find clothing that fits me, I'm a smaller girl with a DD cup chest. When I put the dress on, it fit perfectly, although I did need a safety pin the close the gap of the button on the inside for my chest to not show." — Katie W.

Daily Ritual Short-Sleeve Scoop Neck T-Shirt Dress ($19)

"I'm petite, so it's a little longer on me than the pictures but it fits great, is very comfortable, and overall a great buy." — Jennifer

ZESICA Boho Mini Dress ($26)

"I was really looking forward to receiving this dress and it did NOT disappoint! I'm fairly petite (normally an XS, 34B) and this dress fit me perfectly. The wrap around the waist can be adjustable and the length was spot on (I'm 5' 8" and it wasn't too short). Although it worked great on me, I think anyone who is taller or bustier should size up." — Amazon customer

Star Vixen Ballerina Dress ($28)

"I was looking for a simple, wrinkle-free travel dress—and this is better than I expected! The fabric is nice, it fits well, and it comes in petite!" — Susan

Chifave Mini Tank Dress ($17)

"I am petite but kind of curvy and bottom-heavy (5'2 tall, bust 33" to 33.5", 28" waist, 38 hips) and I bought a small in red. The dress fits right, a bit below mid-thighs and the color is similar to the picture, red wine. I bought this dress because of the fabric (ribbed, mostly cotton) to wear something comfy at home and without a bra (this fabric is not see-through, not so form-shaping and is thick enough without being too hot). It has two black ribbons to hang it. The dress meets my expectations." — Ale

Midi Dress

Daily Ritual Cotton Muscle-Sleeve Midi Dress ($21)

"I loved the length of this dress, as it comes to my mid-calf. I'm 5'3" so this is perfect. It's also loose fitting so I don't feel like it's too tight or too revealing." — Efficient Mom

HOTOUCH Flare Midi Long Dress ($28)

"I loved this dress! I needed a loose-fitting dress after surgery because of swelling. This dress is so flattering. I bought a few in different colors. I will definitely continue to wear this dress. It is difficult to find something for someone as short as myself. I am 5'1" and a little curvy. The Large fits me well and even though it wasn't 'petite' it still fits well. Sometimes the shoulders will sloop or it will be too long, but this dress was perfect." — sls

Daily Ritual Jersey Sleeveless Gathered Dress ($23)

"This is a great dress! The fabric isn't too thin to where you can see through, it's a little thick but still great to wear during summer. Very comfortable also. Length is just below my knees (I'm 5'5), it's a great flowy dress." — Erica Krestyn

Angashion Skater Dress ($24)

"This is an amazing dress! I'm 5'5 and ordered a small and it fits perfectly. The length is just right below my knees. The non-functional buttons are great because you don't need to worry about a peephole or anything! The material is also heavy linen! I definitely recommend this dress!" —Tasia

Grecerelle Maxi Dress ($20)

"Perfect fit! I'm 5'2 and have a hard time finding a maxi dress that I don't have to alter. This dress hit below my ankles with flats. I'm ordering another in a different color." — S. Turner

Daily Ritual Short Sleeve Maxi Dress with Side Sli ($24)

"Looks just like the picture, super soft and fit exactly as expected. I'm 5'3" and this hits exactly at the top of my toes. You could wear out, to work or even to a wedding. Slit elevates the look so all you need to do is accessorize!" — PaperAngell

Milumia Off The Shoulder Swing Maxi Dress ($31)

"Great dress! Ordered the extra small, and it fits my 34-27-38, 5'3", 130 lb frame just right. Could probably have gone with the small, but the extra small is not too tight or anything. I usually go down a size for maxis due to having a petite frame and being short. The material is soft and light and feels great blowing around my legs on a breezy spring day. I ordered the patchwork purplish one, and the design is just perfect for the cut. So happy with this purchase!" — Kayla Denise

Amazon Essentials Short-Sleeve Maxi Dress ($26)

"The Amazon Essentials maxi dress, size large fit me perfectly. I'm a size 10P in dresses and this was just a bit loose but not too big. I'm 5'4", and the length hit the top of my feet, so with a wedge sandal, it will be the correct length. The fabric is comfortable and the stripes are slimming. Overall, very happy with this dress." — Lasha

Daily Ritual Supersoft Terry Racerback Maxi Dress ($30)

"Great maxi dress for Petites. I am 5'2" and it's always difficult for me to find the right length and this is perfect. I'm 115 lbs and the x-small fits great. Really nice material. On the inside, it looks like terry cloth. Already ordered a second one in a different color!" — Amazon customer

'Operation Dress Code' Accepting Clothing Donations For Female Veterans - KPBS

A campaign to collect clothes for female veterans transitioning into civilian careers kicks off this week.

Operation Dress Code is designed to empower female veterans. While in the military, service members do not have to worry about how they're dressed. That changes once they get out.

"I went in for an interview and had no idea what to wear," said Deputy Secretary for Women Affairs at CalVet Lindsey Sin. Sin is also a U.S. Navy Veteran who knows the challenges of transitioning to life after the military.

"It's a little bit intimidating," Sin said. "So the point of dress code is to reduce that barrier of not knowing what clothes to wear — not knowing how to wear them — potentially dress for a job interview."

People can now donate professional shoes, clothing and jewelry to help give female veterans with their life after service. Those who want to donate can drop the items off in pink bins at locations across San Diego County over the next two weeks.

Then, early next month, the clothing will be given out to female veterans during an event at the University of San Diego.

Missing dresses for missing and murdered women - - The Colorado Independent

Posted: 24 Sep 2019 12:00 AM PDT

Denver police Cpl. Mark Moore listens as Amy Gray, volunteer coordinator for 350 Colorado, outlines her plan for the walking art tour and press conference on Tuesday, Sept. 24, 2019. The event is part of a week of action designed to bring attention to the climate crisis. (Photo by Rachel Lorenz for the Colorado Independent.)

Editor's note: This story has been updated with a comment from the Downtown Denver Business Improvement District.

Dresses meant to bring awareness to missing and murdered indigenous, black and migrant women went missing themselves from a 16th Street Mall art installation last week.

The International Indigenous Youth Council (IIYC) and Colorado Climate Strike Coalition planned the exhibit as part of a week of escalating actions meant to draw attention to the climate crisis and those hurt by it. Red and black dresses, 75 in total, were hung on the trees lining the pedestrian promenade Thursday night. By Friday, none remained.

Attached to each dress, on a long slip of white paper, was the name and age of a missing or murdered woman. Also attached to the dress was a card that explained the project and the connection between the exploitation of the planet and the exploitation of its people. Red dresses symbolized missing and murdered indigenous and migrant women while black dresses represented black women murdered while in police custody.

But what was first assumed to be vandalism of an art installation turned out to be "an accident by the city," says Amy Gray of 350 Colorado. An employee working for the Downtown Denver Business District told the group Tuesday morning as they were rehanging the dresses that he and his fellow workers had taken them down as part of their responsibility to clean and maintain the mall. 

In a conversation with The Independent on Wednesday afternoon, however, Britt Diehl of the Downtown Denver Business Improvement District said that the only dresses the district took were ones that were found on the ground or in trash cans. Those dresses were collected so they could be returned to IIYC. The other missing dresses were stolen, she said.

Renee Millard-Chacon of Womxn from the Mountain, a leader of Tuesday's tour and press conference, says they'll continue to collect and rehang dresses since their permit allows the installation to run through Sunday. As of midmorning on Tuesday, 11 dresses swayed among the leaves between Wynkoop and Blake.
