One verified buyer said, "I’m 5’3 145 lbs 34 D athletic curvy build and I went for a size small. The dress fits close to the body but is still comfortable to move in/roomy. If you’re short like me the slit wont come up as high like the model but with heels it works. The material is soft and luxurious. I love this dress."
This sweater dress comes in a petite version! Comes in other colors too. Just make sure to hit petite before choosing your size!
After reading some of the reviews, some people did complain about the slit being too high. It is important to note that these were customers that were in the 5'6 height range.
Love this petite sweater dress from Revolve for the Fall/Winter time.
Someone left a review and said, "It's really luxurious and elegant. Great material."

This is crafted from 100% Grade-A Mongolian cashmere and it's under $100!
One petite purchaser said, "I like this dress, not to thick and not to short but I am only 5’ 2” it fits a little bit loose but that’s what I wanted."
This doesn't come in petite sizing, but it could be just as cute as a maxi dress! Pair it with your favorite belt and knee high boots for a cute Fall look.
Highlight Review: "A very nice heavy knit with quality details. I tried both a Large and a Medium. Appreciated the bit of extra length on the Large, but the shape of the knit is definitely intended to be a bit from hugging so opted for the Medium. The Medium is definitely a bit shorter. Even on a petite person, be prepared to show a lot of leg."

The 5-star reviews on this sweater dress are endless! People are raving about the quality and fit of this dress (yes, even the short girls). Check it out for yourself.
This comes in a ton of different colors and is so cute for the winter paired with knee high boots and stockings.
Highlight Review: I'm 5'1" 107 lbs, 33-24.5-34, and this dress fits wonderfully! Nice and snug even at the waist, and not overly long. It does show every lump and bump, so you have to watch what underwear you have underneath, and I paired it with a belt so that I felt comfortable eating a big dinner in it lol.
It's super soft as well, and EXTREMELY WARM! Like, I was sweating immediately when I went inside a restaurant from the cold, and had to rip off my coat asap. But that's great; usually in the winter I'm so cold in dresses, and this one kept me toasty.
Got lots of compliments too. It really shows off your curves, and the necklines is super versatile: you can wear it buttoned up and turned over like a turtleneck, or leave as many buttons as you want open to reveal some clavicle. Woo! Would def buy in more colors if I was into spending money lol."
Okay, hear me out. I know it looks boring, but imagine pairing it with a belt and kitten heels or booties! Also there are such good reviews on this sweater dress.
One customer said, "Makes me feel like an off-duty model. I went 2 sizes down to get a more fitted look. I’m 5’2” 147lbs, normally a size medium and got this in XS. Great quality, perfect thickness and soft. Customer service is fantastic I had a small issue with one of my items and NAADAM fixed my issue quickly."
Someone in the reviews section said, "So cute but the tiniest thing ever. Maybe a 5 foot person can fit." LOL

One verified buyer said, "Amazing winter dress. It's so soft and elegant at the same time. Normally wear a xs but ordered a small. I'm 5'1 and 125 lbs athletic build & length is perfect 😁"
Highlight Review: "I was hesitant in ordering this because I’m on the shorter side but it was just right! The weight of the sweater is also great! Not too thick but also warm enough for a nippy evening. The fabric is very soft. Hoping to get it in other colors!"
Sweater dress is from Amazon and its prime! Someone in the reviews section said, "The length is great. I'm 5'2" so it definitely covers everything that needs covering, but still isn't too long."
Another cute and unique find. Comes in a petite version on the website!! A women who is 5'1 purchased a very similar style and brand to this dress and sais, "Bought it in 4 other colors. I’m happy I purchased this dress so elegant so comfy and perfect for my body type. Loved it!! Got a lot of compliments too."

Because every sweater dress needs a belt time-to-time. Also will help shorten your sweater dress even more.
Here's one that is real genuine leather. This would go nicely with a white or burgundy sweater dress.
