Mines several years old from H&M, but you can find similar styles in petite-friendly sizes here: 4

-Flaws (present when I purchased): 1) some markings on the front near the neckline and chest 2) some markings on the skirt, most of the markings fall hidden between the folds of the skirt when it is on figure 3) a few tiny marks throughout the dress, I think these were caused by the embellishments of the dress rubbing against itself 4) a few faint fabric pulls -Fixes (this dress has not been altered, but some flaws were mended by hand): 1) the interior corset had a small hole where the store security tag was attached, the hole is now sewn closed 2) there was a tiny pull to the fabric near the side zipper, the pull was fixed and reversed 3) the dress originally has a pad sewn on the interior above the corset bra cups
