Do you like the princessy type dresses? If you do, then just get an a-line one. I mean, how short are you? I'm 5'2' and a great big princess (see name), so I wore a dress that made me look like a princess because that was what I wanted. And I think that I looked great!

If you're just not into the princessy ones, then this one is lovely. But you frowned, so I get the feeling like you're disappointed with not looking good in the princessy dresses.

I like both actually...I tried on a A-line one and it really just didn't look right on me. I'm 5'1. My sister and even the bridal consulant both agreed that it just wasn't for me. The three of us said that something form fitting looked a zillion times better. I guess I'm a bit upset because now I HAVE to focus on just one style.

Good luck finding What You Want. I still don't think you necessarily have to forget a fuller dress completely.

I don't think you should focus on just one style. Shop around. Different designers make different dresses for a reason. Just because you are 5'1' doesn't mean you cant wear a ballgown - it just means you can't wear the ballgowns you tried on.

That said - the dress you posted is GORGEOUS!!!

Maggie Sottero's Grace is very similar and much cheaper- just an idea!

Re: I wanna show you guys a dress...

It looks nice, but its SO tough to tell what the dress REALLY looks like with that model all crouched and stuff....why do they do that? We just want to see the darned thing in all its glory!

I think that that dress is stunning! It's so original, a lot of dresses out there all have the same idea to them. But that one is beautiful. If you love it that much, go for it, it will make you happy.
