As the weather warms up, many women are exchanging their jeans and heavy sweaters for dresses. Ann Taylor (and Ann Taylor Loft) has been a favourite of mine for petite selection - unlike many other brands, it's not granny-like and the selection at brick-and-mortar stores with a petite section is reasonable. However, as someone who lives in Canada, going to Ann Taylor is a treat as there are no stores north of the border. And unlike J.Crew and Anthropologie, online ordering isn't possible. :(
As of April 16, 2008, my favourite dresses from Ann Taylor are:
Multi Circle Print Dress
Flower Medallion Pique Shift Dress
Christine Double V-Neck Dress (this one is for more formal occasions)
Ann Taylor Loft has some amazing dresses too. The ones I like are:
Petite Strapless Print Dress With Obi Belt
Petite V-Neck Floral Jersey Dress
I also have some favourites that are now on sale. At Ann Taylor, the dress I like most is:
Petite Floral Swirl Print Dress (as of today, the smallest available size online is an 8P)
My favourite at Loft is:
Petite Printed Surplice Neck Dress (this one is almost gone! The only size left is a 12P)
I guess I need to make a trip down to the US soon!
