Q: I'm attending a swanky black tie wedding this fall, and I'm not sure what to wear. I'm very petite (5'1\", 107 lbs) and any floor length dress I buy will have to have about 6 inches hacked off the bottom. Any suggestions that won't break the bank in alterations? I love to use RentTheRunway.com but I'm afraid I won't be able to do that for this event.

A. If you shop in the petite department, you shouldn't have to alter the length of your dress very much, if at all. A floor length petite dress is made for people that are under 5'3\" generally. Add to that a pair of heels and you should be all set! Below are some petite sized cocktail dresses and full length dresses to wear to your black tie wedding -- and most are under \$200.
