Target's small summer dress starts at $20

I am 5 feet 2 inches tall and no stranger to the struggles of clothes that are too long and inappropriate on my shorter frame. As a fashion shopping writer, I have become a professional and can find petite outfits that are suitable for no changes. Recently, it included Target's summer dress.

I try to avoid undressing as much as possible, which usually means the greatest or even the greatest dress is not on the table. However, after doing some digging on Target, I found 10 options that reviewers say are a big length for small shoppers, and their time is under $45. Below, buy my lightweight, breathable picks including eyelets, checkered and sweater dresses that are perfect for summer, outpacing for $20.

New Day Weaving Midi Tank Dress

A knitted dress is ideal for transitioning wardrobes from summer to fall, a style with a single layer construction that shoppers confirm to be breathable and thick but “opacity”. The white trim and belt around the neckline add a bold element to the classic dress, and I like it has a pullover design and is made of elastic material for comfort. For $25, I'm snatching this piece in black and tan.

Universal thread open MIDI sweater dress

Regardless of my plan, I love to include the work in my summer wardrobe and worth a tropical vacation. Pointelle’s design and decorative trim make this dress beach-like, while cotton blends make it a casual choice for all-day comfort. One shopper said they receive “multiple compliments” every time they wear it, adding that “dressing up” and “looking more expensive than it is now” are ideal.

New layered skirt

A smooth long skirt with layered skirts can serve as a base for many summer outfits. When designed separately, the New Day option balances the full skirt with thin, delicate straps that can be adjusted for added customization. However, as the temperature drops, it can be layered with a light jacket or sweater. It offers an ideal fit for a 5-foot-2-inch customer who says they “do not trip over it, which is a huge advantage”.

New Day Pore A-Line Dress

While I love casual gowns for everyday errands, my summer wardrobe also needs many good choices that are equally comfortable. This eyelet dress with black and white has a backless neckline, an A-line skirt and two side pockets. According to one, the thicker material makes it feel “high-end”, he added that petite buyers “should not have problems with procrastination”.
