I pulled this dress out of the back of my closet last week when I had the idea to pair it with a long cardigan. Although the light fabric and flowery print are more Spring-like, tights and boots made it work for the colder temperatures. I love the look of the feminine ruffles of the dress contrasted with my military-style boots! The sweater’s belt gave my waist a little definition too.
This dress is a few years old, but I’m pretty sure I remember picking it up in the Junior’s department. A great thing about being petite is that Junior dresses are usually still a good length. As long as you’re careful to find an age appropriate pattern or color scheme, and flattering style, it can really expand your options.

Lovely dress! and the sweater cardigan over it looks super comfy 🙂
Thanks so much, Rachel! It’s a great sweater. Long cardigans are underrated!
