I'm 5'2, here's 17 Best Petite Dresses for Wedding Guests

I love these strapless dresses, especially for summer weddings in Tuscany. They are simple, yet so chic and can be dressed up with statement jewelry and a chic updo. The best part is that it's under $100!!

I saw a girl on instagram wear this dress, and had to track it down. It looks so expensive, but it's just $105! FYI - peppermayo has such cute summer wedding guest dresses. Definitely check out their full collection.

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 Georgia Hardinge dress is very understated chic. It’s super comfortable—perfect if you want a dress you can dance in and just feel like yourself. I would pair this with metallic silver heels, drop earrings, and a chunky silver cuff!

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.

Butter yellow is the perfect shade for spring and summer—flattering on every skin tone and ideal for an outdoor wedding. This dress comes in petite sizing, and shoppers are raving about the drop waist design and high-quality fabric.

One verified purchaser said, "I got so many compliments and questions about this dress when I wore it to a wedding! It’s the perfect shade of butter yellow and fits like a glove. Such nice quality and so easy to fold down then steam! Love!!!!"

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

Also is available in size XXS!

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!

Peppermayo has entire wedding guest dress collection! Their sizing also runs on the smaller side. 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 is a dupe of a really famous and expensive brand named Arcina Ori This comes in other colors and the back is open! Perfect for a beach wedding or any outdoor spring or summer wedding.

One verified purchaser said, "Beautiful dress and adjustable straps!"

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."

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!

This dress is timeless and chic—the draped mesh detailing gives a very romantic feel to it. Just a heads-up: since it’s off-the-shoulder, raising your arms is kind of a struggle. So if you’re planning to dance all night, it might not be the most practical choice. But if you’re okay with a little less mobility for the sake of looking amazing, it’s 100% worth it.

One buyer said, "Gorgeous dress for my brothers wedding. Fit like a glove. I have an athletic build and it fit perfectly."
