Petite bride/ Need dress in a month

Do they have petite sizes in-store at David's and can you just walk out with the dress right away? I'm short (5'2) and will only be able to go shopping a month before my wedding.

Do I have any other options? I don't want to buy anything online before trying it on in a store, and sites that have 'rush orders' cant guarantee such quick delivery.

I'm also on a budget!!  looking for something below $800.

    I know David's Bridal party wear is cash and carry, I think the bridal gowns are too, but not sure. I am also a petite bride (5 Ft), I found my dress at Circle Park Bridal and it needed minimal alterations. Some of the dresses at CPB are able to be brought home the same day and some are special order.

    David's Bridal you can walk out with a bridal gown the same day. Their gowns do come in petite but it's special order only. Not all their dresses come in petite. Special ordering can take up to a few months depending on the dress.

    I am also 5'2" and I got my dress at Circle Park.  Walked out with it that day, needs very few alterations.  And it was much less than your budget.

    What style are you looking for?  I have a brand new Alfred Angelo (style #2008) dress that I bought and never wore.  I am 5'2, 105lbs and it fit me perfectly.  All it needs is the bustle.  I also have a veil to go with it that you could have.

    Check Group USA if there is one near you. I picked out my size 2 dress there three weeks before my wedding, right off the rack. They shortened it for me in less than a week and did an incredible job. Good luck!
