Petite Review: Petite Friendly Brand- Love 21

I told myself I was going to limit buying more clothes from Forever 21 but I had a gift card that I had to use up and found this dress last weekend. This dress is from the Love 21 line which is supposed to run larger than the normal F21 sizes. I found this dress in an XS and the quality and fit looked promising.
Dress: Love 21 Belted scarf dress- size XS (similar HERE and HERE)
Shoes: Nine West Nude Pumps- size 5

I couldn't believe how well this dress fit and the style is much more sophisticated than other F21 dresses. And because it came in an XS- the cut was petite friendly! And this dress is fully lined so you don't have to worry about it being too thin or see-through. I'm not sure if you can tell but there is a bow that ties at the neck. At first- it reminded me of a flight attendent's uniform or one of my old elementary teacher's blouses. The only complaint is that the armholes are a tad large so therefore you have to be careful when wearing a bra.

The belt adds are really nice touch and actually fit my waist! I forgot to look for what type of material this is but it feels like silk- very soft against the skin.
 
The dress is a perfect length and very work appropriate.
Here's the back of the dress so you can see how it lays and there are 3 buttons on the neck and a slit in the middle. And has a side zip.

I couldn't find this exact dress so either it's so new they haven't added it online or it's older and I was able to find it in store. But I was able to find some really nice work dresses below for everyone :)

Shop other cute dresses:
1. Meridian Silk Dress- so cute and pink and gray always look so pretty together
2. Pleated Ponte Dress-  this is perfect for work and is so affordable
3. Ann Taylor Ink Dress- this is so pretty and comes in 00 and 0

That dress looks amazing on you!! It could totally pass as being from a higher end shop like Black House White Market (the name is something like that.. I always forget hehe)! And I just love it with the nude pumps!
