PETITE DRESSES & FORMAL EVENING GOWNS

What makes a Tadashi Shoji Petite a petite? It is the cut, line, and silhouette of a Tadashi Shoji Petite dress, which makes it distinct. Each style is created with the petite-framed woman in mind.  When designing each piece, proportion and scale are examined with great care and thoroughness to provide the most flattering fit: a waistline or neckline raises, a shoulder strap becomes narrower, a skirt flair is reduced.  

Recognized for his red-carpet eveningwear and loyal celebrity following, Tadashi Shoji combines effortless elegance with impeccable fit. Petite dresses are made to lengthen the figure while maintaining an hourglass silhouette — both hallmarks of Tadashi Shoji. Hand-cut lace is artfully stitched to a background of crepe to accentuate contours. A contrast or sequined bodice is combined with a solid floor-length skirt to fashion an elongating two-tone gown.

Even petite special occasion dresses are designed to run long to accommodate varying statures and shoe heights. For this reason, TADASHISHOJI.COM offers complimentary hemming.
