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, and under$500! FYI - Anthropologie 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!

Abercrombie really nailed it with this one. The drop-waist design feels effortless, and it’s one of those dresses you can actually dance in without adjusting all night. I’d style it with silver heels and drop earrings to make it shine. The only thing that may be annoying is the off shoulder design restricting your arms from dancing like crazy after 12AM.

Who says you can’t find elegant dresses for under $150? This maxi dress with sleeves from the ASOS Petite collection proves otherwise. I’m also obsessed with the open back detail! If it were me, I’d style it almost exactly like the model did.

Butter yellow is the perfect shade for spring and summer weddings. I would pair this with a delicate shawl on the shoulders and accessorize with gold tones.

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 and is great for a fall wedding or an outdoor wedding

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.

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 more worth it.

Peppermayo has so many wedding guest options, but this one stood out. The cut-out detail makes it feel modern, and the fit is petite-friendly. Definitely worth browsing their collection if you want something fun and affordable.

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!"

This gown is giving European chateau vibes. I’d wear it to a destination wedding or anywhere your ex boyfriend will be attending to show him what he's missing out on.

I am 5'2 and ordered a size XXS - I can attest that this is petite-friendly and can be dressed up or down and styled so many different ways. It's also extremely comfortable and snatches you. 10/10

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!

Love this blue print for the summer and spring time. 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 good, it’s 100% worth it.
