Petite sizing
Because good things come in small packages, our petite-friendly collection is tailored exclusively for women 160 cm (5'3") and under.
You can easily identify items from our Petite collection by looking for the"P" icon next to the sizing options. This icon signifies that the item is specifically tailored for a petite fit.
Shipping, returns & made-to-order
Stock items ship to you within 2 business days.
Made-to-order items ship to you within 3-5 weeks from the time your order is placed. A made-to-order item is a product that is not in stock, and that has not yet been produced.
It allows small brands like ours to gauge customer interest and consequent demand, eliminating overproduction and waste. When you preorder an article with us, you may have to wait a little longer for its delivery, but what you have to look forward to is a unique, made-to-order item crafted with love and attention, especially for you.
If you place an order that includes both a made-to-order item and an in stock item, we'll hold onto the in stock item and ship both items together when the made-to-order item is ready. This way, you'll only need to pay for shipping once, and we can reduce our environmental footprint by consolidating shipments. If you need an in stock item urgently, we recommend that you place a separate order.
We offer DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) shipping to the US & UK, meaning import duties are included in the listed prices. We guarantee no surprise charges at delivery.
Fit guide
• Brigitte Bardot inspired dress
• Sweetheart neckline
• Back zipper enclosure
• Petticoat included
Composition
Main material: 52% linen, 48% cotton.
Petticoat: 100% cotton.
Made with care in Lithuania from upcycled fabric.
Care guide
• Wash your linen garment on your machine’s gentle cycle in lukewarm temperatures – hot temperatures above 40C will shrink the fabric.
• We recommend washing this item separately for the first two washes to ensure the color doesn't transfer.
• Air drying your linen garments is the safest option as linen does tend to shrink over time.
• For the best ironing results, press your garment while it is still damp from the wash or dampen slightly with a spray bottle.
Sustainability
Gaâla’s apparel is primarily crafted at our own workshop in Lithuania. Additionally, we partner with small-scale ateliers in Belarus, China and Italy, carefully considering the provenance of materials, production capabilities, and the expertise of artisans. We ensure all our partners uphold fair labor practices and that each piece meets the highest quality standards and respects those involved in its creation.
At Gaâla, we believe sustainably made clothing is respectful to the environment. We honor the artisans who craft our garments through our commitment to fair labor practices. Our entire production model demonstrates this support of sustainable practices on a humanitarian and environmental level. Learn more

Customer Reviews
Overall rating: 4.9 / 5 from 35 reviews.
This dress is so beautiful! It fits like a glove, it looks so elegant and I got so many compliments while wearing it. The petticoat adds volume and helps with the silhouette as well, but the dress can be worn on its own too.
Totally recommended for a classic vintage or elegant look.
The Bardetta dress is one of my favourite dresses from Gaala. I originally bought it in raspberry colour. I bought it in size S. The fit is a bit tight, so if you are in between sizes, I recommend sizing up. It is a high quality, beautiful linen dress. It is nice to wear for everyday or for special occasions.
I wore the cream version of this dress for my wedding and it was gorgeous! I was quite worried about sizing since I have a 33" bust and a 27" waist, so between XS and S in the size chart. I ended up going with the S and it was indeed very loose in the bust, but I was able to make it work with just a push-up bra and some fashion tape rather than actual alterations. The S was probably the right call -- it was pretty tight in the waist (but still comfortable), so I doubt the XS would have fit me.
The fabric had some imperfections/pilling, but that's perhaps not too surprising with natural fibres and it didn't show up in our wedding photographs. I can't speak to the longevity of the garment since it's not a daily wear item for me, but it ironed easily and cleaned up well. I definitely felt beautiful wearing it. Thanks Gaâla!
La robe est absolument parfaite et attire tous les regards. J’ai choisi la couleur "Plum". La commande et la livraison se sont bien déroulées et tout était emballé avec beaucoup d’amour. La qualité est très bonne et le confort de port est excellent (le tableau des tailles correspond à la réalité). Dommage que la robe n'ait pas de poches, mais en tout cas, cela n'enlève rien à son charme :)
Very beautiful
I liked the dress so much that I decided to buy it in plum color as well. It is very beautiful and the fabric is thick, nice quality. The dress fits nicely and the petticoat makes you feel like a princess :)
I would just say that the size tends to run a bit small on the chest part, otherwise it's all good
Second one and love it
Got the green one the first time, so I got the cream colored one! I sized up because the large was a bit snug, so this one fits perfect! Also, so glad I got it before it closed off in the US :( thank you so much for your hard work! Beautiful craftsmanship as always!
I ordered size L/40 and to be honest I think the fact that size 40 (I am really 38/40) is considered large is unhelpful. The sizes here run very small . That being said 40 fit my waist and breasts really well but it was a bit loose/gapey at the neck/shoulders..I took it to a local tailor and they made it perfect for me so now I am so happy with it. It's such a beautiful dress, such a classic style that I could not find anywhere else but here!
According to the measurements table, I'm right between XSP and SP, so I was pleasantly surprised when XSP fits me like a glove! I'm especially in love with the quality of the fabric and the craftsmanship. I'll definitely be ordering again whenever a Gaala dress comes in petite sizing! :)
The dress is absolutely magical. The corset top is comfy and true to size. The sleeves are not too voluminous, and it makes a dress absolutely suitable for a pleasant evening walk, not only special events.
J'ai récemment acheté une robe sur le site de Gâla Paris et je suis vraiment ravie de mon achat ! La qualité du produit est exceptionnelle, elle correspond parfaitement à la description et aux photos. De plus, j'ai été très impressionnée par la réactivité des responsables de vente, qui ont été très professionnels et attentifs à mes demandes. Je recommande vivement ce site et leurs produits !
Love this dress— I literally got compliments wearing it out on the street! Sizing is fairly true to size— I’m 5’6 and 125 pounds, 34-27-38 and the small fits well. The only strange thing is the petticoat waist is much more snug than the dress waist. Petticoat waist fits my 27” perfectly, but the dress seems suited more towards a 28.5 ish waist. I’ll get an alteration to shrink the waist of the actual dress so it doesn’t bag. For those with broader waists relative to your size, the petticoat could be an issue and might be too tight.
Overall, amazing dress!
Love, love, love this dress! The heart shaped chest area and the half sleeves were definitely what pulled me in to the look. Only thing is, wish it had a slight stretch to it, as I have broad shoulders because of my athletic background. But beautiful color, beautiful dress overall!
I absolutely love this dress, and have purchased this in multiple colours. The silhouette is feminine and playful, so well made, very comfortable to wear.
This is my second dress from Gaâla and I love it even more than the first one I ordered! (which was already my favourite). It's extremely beautiful and I feel so good when I wear it :).
The most stunning dress! I originally got the XS petite size although had to exchange it for a small. The XS didn’t zip all the way up although fit everywhere else. The small zipped up although was loose in the chest area but I’m not busty at all. I plan to wear it with a corset belt which I’m very excited for. The material is quality linen and the style is classic. I love it so much!
I love the style of this dress. The dress is well made of high quality linen. I’m in love with the fit! I ordered the XS and needed to exchange for a small and was able to do so quickly. Very excited to wear this dress regularly! I also ordered the petite sizes since I’m 5’0 110 lbs
The dress is wonderful! It fits like a second skin. I wore it to my wedding at the registry office and couldn't imagine anything better for the occasion. I especially loved twirling around in it. Especially then the dress looked fantastic.
First things first: I'm in love with my Bardetta dress! According to the online measurements, I'm right between M and S; I ordered S which fits me like a glove, given that I have a rather small bust.
As you can see, I wore the Bardetta dress for my double Master's graduation ceremony in June 2024 and it was simply perfect: The linen kept me cool throughout the day and the petticoat added some lovely volume (pro tip: do a spin and you'll feel like a princess!). Apart from it being comfortable, it really caught the eye of my guests; I received a bunch of compliments and I felt so beautiful. It truly elevated the whole experience.
I highly recommend this dress and have already placed more orders with Gaâla <3
Size S fit me like a glove. The fabric is absolutely amazing and I feel like a princess in it. The only tiny warning I have is that the dress is not super wearable for medium to larger breasted women. The neckline is very low, and if you’re not comfortable with that it could be an issue. Craftsmanship and quality is amazing though!
The dress is wonderful and very elegant, though, you could wear it on normal occasions as well.
I haven't given 5 stars because I have to bring it to the seamstress. After all, it was too long and too big on my shoulder.
It was a bit expected because I’d already spoken with the Gaala’s personnel, who told me I should have sized down, but on the waist the dress is perfect, and I preferred to do it like that.
I'm sad they don't offer personal adjustment anymore, however, I understand it is an intense job to satisfy everybody.
That being said, I love the dress, the quality is top-notch and I’m always impressed by the politeness and availability received via email. Thank you.
I reached out to the company to ask for sizing help. I have 5'7 and 140lbs. I was thinking medium or large. I was advised for medium. The dress is so beautiful but so tight. I needed a large. This dress goes down to an XS and I have to ask for whom are we making these dresses? Women in the 1920s. I am pretty certain I am not overweight and always wear a medium I don't support "so called vanity sizing" but am also sure that for a brand to be sustainable sizing has to be reasonable. Maybe every one in France is petite and thin and that's okay but please tell your shoppers our dresses run small so size up. Much of the clothing waste is related to sizing issues and to combat this we have to get good at directing customers on how to size their item. The material and craftsmanship on the item is phenomenal and I am so sad to know that I will only be able to enjoy in so much as I never gain a pound and obviously aging indicates that this wont be the case.
I’m very short, 147cm (measurements 83/63/90 cm), and the size XSP was almost perfect for me, just a little bit long on the torso. The quality of the fabric and product was very good :) I returned the dress because the color was a bit yellowish and the length a bit short for a wedding dress, but nonetheless a good product.
