The difference in sizing between regular and petite dresses is the length. Petite clothes are made for shorter women so the length at the bottom of the dress and on the sleeves would be shorter.

How are petite formal dresses made differently than regular formals?

The only major difference between petite formal dresses and regular formal dresses is that petite formal dresses are made to cater to women who are short in stature. So, certain elements of the dress, such as the skirt/train or the straps, may be constructed shorter in order to accommodate the smaller frame of a petite woman. Besides that, petite formal dresses are often identical to regular formal dresses in terms of styling, cut and adornments. When picking a petite formal dress, it is best to choose a dress that works to lengthen your torso. Gowns that are one color are good choices, as are gowns that don't have too many layers. Petite women are advised to avoid dresses that have large or horizontal patterns, drop-waist syles, dresses with too many gathers and dresses with belts.
