Here is the UK Petite 4:
Dress: ASOS " "bow dress UK sz Petite 4 (buy it here)
Shoes: Aldo
The material was very stretchy so I got it on just fine (pull-over style, no zipper), but it was noticeably tight on me. I am not sure where one can wear this dress...for me it is too hooch for the workplace, yet not hooch enough for going out. Next up, the size 6...
I would say the Petite 6 still fit very small, like what I would expect from an H&M sz 2 or 4:
Fit: Stretchy and petite-friendly, but I'm interested in how their more structured items fit. From the photo, I mistakenly thought this would be structured and work-appropriate. On the sz 4, waist measures 12" across, bust measures 13" across, and total length is 29."
Material: Top is 100% viscose, bow is 100% cotton, and skirt is 96% cotton/4% elastane. This is maybe a smidge better quality than what one would find at H&M or F21.
Value: I personally found this to be expensive for what it was. A similar dress at a retailer like H&M would probably be $35, $40 max.
Verdict: Return (a little too costly at full price). I have to admit though that ASOS has some designs that are unique, plus the shopping experience was very easy. Free returns are also convenient, so I am definitely open to shopping here again for items that are on sale.
*Note - They have a return center right in the US, so even if they were not offering free return shipping it shouldn't be too costly to send something back.
Love the bow-tie detail!

Ah, the dreaded "S" shape in the front (from the tummy to the thighs). This happens to me when something is too clingy and/or doesn't hug right. Sizing up made it look better in the front but still unflatering in the back. The bow also looks awkward and floppy from the side view.UK sz petite 4 (left) and UK sz petite 6 (right)
Jen at Frmheadtotoe ordered this wine dotty dress in petite 4 and she says it fits her well. It's on clearance now for $16.85 and the petite 6 is still available. This tea-party flirty ruched sundress is also on clearance for $20.22 and left in petite 4 and 6.
Readers - did anyone else order from ASOS with the free ship/returns promo?
