red and white embroidered dress Elegant Ethiopian with & Gold Embroidery A wrap detail at the back adds shape Scalloped Rio Dress w. Embroidery

We love how the vibrant palette elevates the bold linen from BBJ La Tavola

(Spoiler alert: A dress that grazes the floor on the 6-foot-tall model on the website is not your best bet.) To bring you this list of the best ones out there, I first checked my own closet for recent purchases and dependable silhouettes, then I consulted my fellow short-girl editors at PureWow for their own worn-and-loved picks

You can even layer a crisp white button-down over it and tie it at the waist for a preppy, chic outfit

Made entirely out of pure linen, this pregnancy-friendly dress in A-line silhouette is a true fall / winter hit

The finished result ended up being one of my favorite furniture makeovers to date
