I'm 5 Feet Tall, and I'm Eyeing These 11 Petite Midi and Maxi Dresses at Amazon, Nordstrom, and More—From $20
As someone five-feet-tall, I know that shopping for a midi-length or maxi dress that won't drag on the ground is, well, a drag. Either you have to spend time (and money) tailoring it, or do some legwork to find stylish petite options from online retailers, considering the right size is rarely in stores. With a few summer vacations on my calendar, I opted for the latter option and browsed through my go-to petite brands to find flattering dresses that fit my frame perfectly. Naturally, I had to share my findings with my fellow petite shoppers, so I rounded up the best maxi and midi dress options from Amazon, Nordstrom, Anthropologie, and more. From a $29 travel-friendly knit dress to a European-summer-inspired maxi shirt dress, I found styles for every travel itinerary. Keep reading for 11 of my top picks, starting at $20.

This Gap ribbed knit option is perfect for exactly that, and with a $29 price tag, I immediately added it to my shopping cart. I opted for the olive green shade, which will seamlessly transition into fall, but it is also available in black, striped, and fuchsia. This sleeveless midi dress is effortlessly chic and looks much more expensive than its $35 price tag. The fitted top is made from a comfortable, smocked knit material, and it's paired with a puffed peplum skirt featuring a flattering drop waistline that helps make your torso appear longer—perfect for petite shoppers. Quince is known for its effortless travel clothing, and this midi tank dress is no exception. The travel-ready piece is made from a breathable, soft cotton blend. One five-foot-two reviewer wrote that "the dress is perfect," adding that it's "simple and sophisticated." This light and airy maxi dress captures the art of summer dressing. It is trimmed with lace detailing and features an embroidered design on the bodice. Now, the hard part is deciding between the classic black shade and the cottagecore-inspired indigo. Considering they're both on sale, I might have to snag both! While this midi dress isn't available in petite sizing, it has adjustable spaghetti straps that allow for a customizable fit. The fit-and-flare dress, which can be easily dressed up or down, features a fitted ribbed bodice with a low scoop back and a flowing skirt. This maxi dress features a similar design to the above option, with a fitted, tank top bodice and an airy skirt, but its high neckline provides a bit more coverage. One five-foot-tall reviewer wrote that it's a 'great length,' and added that they 'loved it so much,' they bought a second color. The best part? It's marked down to just $22 right now, so I'm not missing my opportunity to shop it while it's on sale. This Lands' End petite maxi dress is begging to be worn on a tropical vacation, and its airy, lightweight material will help keep you cool on a hot summer day. It features a stretchy, smocked elastic back and adjustable tie straps, providing additional length customization for the petite dress. I'm not headed to Europe this summer, but if I were, I could easily picture myself strolling the cobblestone streets of Paris in this top-rated breezy shirtdress from The shirred elastic waist provides shape to the flowy silhouette, and it comes with a slip lining underneath the subtly sheer overlay fabric. I can already tell this ultra-comfy jersey maxi dress would become one of my staple travel pieces. It features flattering details, such as a smoothing waistband and a deep V-neck. Plus, the pullover design makes it easy to throw on and go, whether I'm catching an early morning flight or making a quick change before dinner. I can't resist a perfectly tailored dress, and this petite Anthropologie number fits the bill. The casual yet elegant shirt dress features eye-catching details, including a classic collar, exaggerated sleeves, and flattering pleats around the bodice. Additionally, the button-up front allows for a customizable look that can be worn as a dress or paired over a pair of shorts and a classic white tee. This top-rated midi dress is made from a summery, lightweight linen material and has a smocked waistband with a tie at the center and capped sleeves. One reviewer raved that it's 'very flattering and comfortable,' and a five-foot-three shopper wrote that 'the length is perfect.' Right now, the midi is an additional 40 percent off, bringing the price down to $84. Love a great deal?

Latitude slot takes singer a step nearer her dream
A singer-songwriter once voted by her sixth form as the most likely to headline the Latitude Festival is one step closer to her dream as she prepares to take the stage at this year's event. Alice-Lily, 22, from Rackheath, near Norwich, is learning to juggle her music career while being a fourth-year medicine student, spending any spare time performing or collaborating with other artists. Tens of thousands of music fans , near Southwold, Suffolk, for the festival, headlined by Sting, Snow Patrol and Fatboy Slim, from 24 to 27 July. Alice-Lily said: "It's our local festival so to be able to say that I'm playing it is such an amazing privilege and honour." She said she was in disbelief when BBC Radio Suffolk's Angelle Joseph surprised her with the news that she had been chosen to play the Faber Alt. & BBC Introducing Stage on Saturday. "In my sixth form year book we had this little section talking about 'who's most likely to'," she said. "The thing I was put forward for was 'most likely to headline Latitude', so I'm saying I'm one step closer. It really means a lot. "I grew up in a very musical household. Both my parents sing and for as long as I can remember I have been immersed in music." However, her earliest musical memory is from the age of two. "I like to say my singing journey started back in nursery. I was the shining star in the nativity story and I sang all the verses of Silent Night... it sort of started back then and it's been a progression." She says her music draws on her Christian faith and influences including Jorja Smith and James Morrison. Her proud mum, Linda Nnene, said her daughter had the support of the whole family. "Be it the successes, the challenges, the joys or anything with regard to music, we are always beside her, behind her and spurring her on," she said. "Music is in her soul and in her heart and she came to us and we weren't surprised when she said she wanted to do it going forward." Follow Norfolk news on BBC Sounds, Facebook, Instagram and X.
