I'm 5'2, here's 15 Best Petite Dresses for Wedding Guests

Bec and Bridge is an Australian-based brand known for creating high-quality, timeless pieces. Their sizes tend to run small, and everyone raves about how flattering their dresses are. This one features a spandex top and a viscose bottom, giving it a beautifully draped look. The spandex top is a bonus—it helps keep the dress in place while you’re dancing!

I saw a girl on instagram wear this House of Cb dress, and had to track it down. It's part of their new collection and so unique. Love.

Love the color and style of this dress from Meshki. It's under $200 and comes in four other colors as well. The shrug is detachable by the way!

This petite Reformation dress is made from 100% silk charmeuse, and I’m obsessed with the print and style! It’s super comfortable—perfect if you want a dress you can dance in and just feel like yourself. I found a photo of the exact dress in real life (in a different print that’s sadly sold out), so you can get a better idea of how it looks!

Who says you can’t find elegant dresses for under $200? This strapless tulle dress from the ASOS Petite collection proves otherwise. It's from a London based brand called Lace & Beads known for their tulle dresses. I’m also obsessed with the strapless drop hem! If it were me, I’d style it almost exactly like the model did.

I’m not the biggest Reformation fan, but they do have some pieces worth investing in—like this silk maxi gown for under $300. I’m usually extra careful when shopping here since the pieces don’t always look the same in person as they do on the model. Luckily, I tracked down a real-life photo of this exact dress, so you’ll know exactly what to expect. Fun fact: this one’s part of Reformation’s petite wedding guest dress collection!

I’m currently obsessed with anything in a chocolate or espresso color. This dress is super chic and comfortable—perfect for a fall wedding or an outdoor, nature-inspired celebration.

Ronny Kobo is also known for being petite-friendly, with sizes going down to XXS or 00!

I can personally vouch for Katie May being petite-friendly—I wore a very similar gown to my prom back in 2017. It fit perfectly with no alterations (which is super rare for me) and was both flattering and comfortable. Shoutout to my mom for tracking it down, because knowing me, I probably would’ve ended up in some last-minute, tacky dress. I also remember the fabric being incredibly lightweight while still hugging all the right places.

Maygel Coronel dresses are mostly one size (yes, even for us petite girls!), designed to be super stretchy and form-fitting. I wore a similar white Maygel Coronel dress for my engagement shoot, and despite being one size, it didn’t need any tailoring or hemming—it fit like a glove! While it was super flattering, I’ll be honest: I didn’t think the material quite lived up to the $600 price tag. Luckily, this one is currently on sale for $336, making it a much better deal. I’d style it for a Mexico wedding or any summer celebration!

Karen Millen has entire petite wedding guest dress collection! Definitely check them out.

The fact that this is under $100 is insane. You can dress this up with bold jewelry and a very chic updo or slick back bun.

This Banana Republic midi dress comes in petite-sizing! 

One verified purchaser said, "Gorgeous color and material. I typically have a hard time finding dresses that fit perfectly, but this one does!!! I'm in love 😍

I wore a Chiara Boni gown to my brother’s Bar Mitzvah, and I can confirm it’s petite-friendly. I did have to hem it slightly, but since it has a raw hem, it’s super easy. You can either have a tailor trim it on the spot or DIY it with a pair of scissors at home!

One verified purchaser said, "This dress was amazing - tight in all of the right places and so comfortable. I felt so good in this dress!! I received so many compliments!"

Perfect for a destination wedding to Europe at a chateau. ☺

One buyer said, "This dress is very flattering! I’m 5’0, 120lbs and the petite small is the perfect length. My only concern is that the straps on the dress look like they could break very easily."
