As a petite fashion person, I find two areas particularly challenging to shop for: pants and dresses. I’m very petite with a short torso and short legs, standing at 5’0”. As wedding season approaches with spring, I’m preparing my outfits for upcoming weddings as a guest. There are a few go-to styles that I always turn to because they are petite friendly. Trust me, these types of dresses are easier to find than you think.
I’ve compiled six different reliable fits that I turn to, from strapless dresses to slip dresses. These styles fall at the perfect length on my body type, so I thought I would share for my other petite fashion lovers out there. Feel confident in your wedding guest outfit without overthinking it in these 30 wedding guest dresses. I even threw in jumpsuits for the bold dressers.
If you’ve already been invited to a wedding or a few, keep scrolling through to shop all the petite-friendly wedding guest dresses I discovered.
Minidresses
Minidresses are my favorite to wear to weddings. They’re easy to style and tend to look like a regular-length dress on me. I’d dress up in any of these dresses below. They all fit various aesthetics if the wedding you are attending has a specific theme.
Jumpsuits
Jumpsuits may not be as common at a wedding, but if there aren’t rules against it in your invite, give it a try. I like wearing jumpsuits as they do the same trick as a dress: You can just put it on as a one-and-done outfit.
Two-Piece Sets
Two piece sets are the perfect solution if you’re having trouble finding the right outfit for a wedding. They’re a chic option, and they can be dressed up even more with accessories.
Midi Slip Dresses
A midi slip dress is the answer to your long-dress dilemma. I love wearing a floor-length dress but hate looking like I’m drowning in it. So a midi slip dress is always my go-to since it falls at the perfect length.
Strapless Dresses
Strapless dresses elongate the neck and bring attention for your décolletage. It’s a chic and elegant option for any event but especially a wedding.
One-Shoulder Dresses
One-shoulder dresses are for those bold dressers at the function. It’s another fun way to express your personal style and stay within a wedding’s dress code.
