The relationship between short women and long dresses can be a challenging one. Long boho dresses are comfortable, add movement to our outfits, and are usually very breezy, which is perfect for warm weather. However, because they are so long, those of us who are barely five feet tall, often need to wear shoes with a bit of a heel to showcase these dresses properly.
While we do pair them with flat sandals or sneakers, we prefer wearing them with heeled shoes. Nevertheless, we always look for alternatives that allow us to wear them both ways: with flats and with added height. This season, I’ve personally searched for the best long boho dresses that flatter short women (a community I proudly belong to with my 1.59 metres). Regardless of their length, I always seek out dresses that can be worn with or without heels.
Three boho dresses that flatter petite frames
Boho dress from Natura
Natura is renowned for its boho garments, so it’s no surprise that some of its designs meet our needs perfectly. After trying on several dresses, this one with puffed long sleeves, an off-the-shoulder neckline, and smocking is one of the best options because it’s not fully long but cuts right at the ankles.
Boho dress from High Spirits
This dress from the new High Spirits collection stands out with its open-back design, electric blue colour, and metallic-toned print. It also has a length that falls slightly above the ankles.
Boho dress from Zara
This dress from Zara, a design that’s a cross between a kimono and a caftan, looks great with both flat shoes and heels because of its flowy movement. It’s made from a lightweight fabric and isn’t too long, making it perfect for short women.
Focusing on these versatile boho styles, you can enjoy the comfort and elegance of long dresses without compromising on style or convenience. Whether you pair them with heels or flats, these dresses are designed to flatter petite frames and keep you looking chic all season long.
