I don't know about that.. I always assumed that they would have you order in your size and then when it came in, it would be altered, no?
Wedding gown sizes do not run like regular dress sizes, in almost all cases your dress will have to be altered. I know that they order the dress with extra fabric for taller people, but if your dress is too long, they will just fix it for you.
I am a petite size 4 to 6 and I got a Maggie Sottero that was actually a petite. It still needs alterations but it was more in the right proportions for me.
I'm petit and my gown is an Alvina Valenta. They take custom measurements under size 4 ( size 6 in real life) instead of ordering a specific size. The dress fits very well.
I got a size 4 from David's bridal (I am usually a 2), and the waist fits well too, but the shoulders have to be taken up and so does the bottom... Otherwise it fits. You may want to give them a chance if you're on a budget, but don't let them do the alterations, use another seamstress.
I posted on here before, but dont see it so I will post again. I am a size 2 - size 4 usually in regular clothes. I ordered an Eve Of Milady gown. I ended up ordering a 5. We took some in. I think they run small. I never heard of a place that specializes in petite wedding gowns. Good luck.
Priscilla of Boston does make their gowns in petite. I went to the one in Roslyn Heights and tried one on. It did seem to fit me more correctly - though the size itself wasn't quite right the length and where the waist came to seemed better.
I ordered from David's..Surprisingly very nice (I've heard stories of that place) and really cheap! I ordered a size 2 and I'm pretty short. It will be in in about 6 more weeks. I'll let you know how it is.
I ordered my dress from Priscilla of Boston. So far, they've been great. My salesperson did say that their store specifically catered to petite sizes. (I'm a petite size 4.) They're not the cheapest - I think prices start at about $2,000 - but I found it to be worth it
