All of the gowns in our Petite bridal collection offer more than just a shorter skirt length; if it were that simple, alterations would take care of it!

The combination of shorter skirt and bodice means everything is positioned exactly where it should be for a perfect overall fit. When the waist hits just right, you'll be amazed how it creates a tailored, flattering look. |
| • |
Patterns are scaled to maintain the original design integrity. Skirt and train embellishments are adjusted so they are perfectly placed and proportioned. |

Neckline and bodice details are designed with a smooth fit to complement your petite figure. Necklines, shoulder width, and arm openings are proportioned to reduce folds and gaping. |

When everything falls into place so well, you will not only look and feel beautiful but you'll be comfortable and confident on your special day. |

Q: How do I know if I'm Petite?
A: Quite simply, Petite sizing is based on height and proportion. If you are 5'4" or under, it is likely you will enjoy the benefits of our Petite bridal gowns. Additional indicators that Petite sizing might be right for you include loose overall proportions and bodice fit issues such as gaping or buckling at the neckline or underarm area (this is especially important for strapless styles).
Q: Could I just buy a Missy gown and have it shortened?
A: Every David's Bridal location offers expert alterations, so if you fall in love with one of our gowns that is not available in Petite, that is certainly an option. However, the gowns in our Petite bridal collection offer more than just a shorter skirt length. View the Petite Fit section to learn what makes these dresses different.
Q: Which slips and bras should I wear with my petite bridal gown?
A: Almost all of our bras and slips will work well under David's Petite bridal gowns. Style 7750WHITE is a 3" shorter version of our popular supportive "torsolette" bra.
