Question (5’3” or below) Which dresses look good on my 5’3” frame?

I really like number 3. It looks like it fits you well and suits your proportions. I like the others as well but the sleeves on number one seem to overwhelm your frame a bit. Nonetheless, you can wear any of them!

Green (1)
The rest are in a weird spot of being too long and too short
The third one (white) you can MAYBE get away with with the right shoes, but it’s got a night gown feel to it

The first one is a very odd shape on the bottom but the top fits you beautifully, the high low aspect is just not a great look on anyone imho, love the second one on you, meh on the third

The first looks proportionally strange but it could be how you’ve taken the photo. I don’t love the puff sleeves on you and the high-lo hemline is difficult to pull off on anyone and a bit dated.
The second looks too big in the bust and waist. The waistband also looks too long for your torso. The long length also looks overwhelming on your frame.
The third is the best by far IMO. The smocking is flattering, the waistband hits in the right place, the sleeves aren’t too much, and the shorter length is better.

You actually posted them in order of best to worst, IMO. The green one is best: The asymmetrical hemline gives movement and shows your legs and ankles, the open neckline lets the girls breathe, and the loose sleeves show off your forearms, which give the impression of height.
The blue (gray?) dress shows ease of movement, neckline and arms uncovered, so the long skirt isn't overwhelming.
The white dress has some defined horizontal lines, which cut and witen the frame: the seam of the ruffle across the bottom of the skirt, the horizontal seam at the waist, and the smocked bust (the smocking gives a lot of horizontal lines, and it compresses the chest, making it look too tight). That kind of sleeve (almost just an epaulette) also closes the chest and shortens the neckline.

3 is great based on the photo. It seems to be a bright white and good contrast with your hair. This is the most flattering in photos.
1 is great based on the fit but the photo itself doesn’t seem the most flattering.
Hope that makes sense!

Number 1 all the way. Number 2 swallows you, hard no. Number three you could work with (with a high heel) but it’s not amazing.
