helping my sis - sheath dresses anyone?

Hi guys,

I need your help AGAIN.

My sis is getting married THIS December 20th - eeek! - and she wants a sheath dress. She is SUPER tiny - like a size two - and we are not finding ANYTHING.

The wedding is going to be at her future in-laws home, so she wants something simple, elegant, and beautiful, but not princess-y. A-lines just don't work with her body because she ends up looking like a little girl playing dress up instead of a stunning bride, you know?

We found one straight, sheath dress with a trumpet bottom, but that was it.

Do you guys know of any bridal stores that carry these types of dresses? Are their any other tiny brides out there that can help?

(I am a size 10 so other than stuffing twinkies down her throat - - I have no idea how to help her. I wore an a-line, but my wedding was really formal - so PLEASE help me be a good MOH!!!)

TIA, willow

Check this out first, and then figure out which bridal salons carry the designers you like. I'm sure if they carry other dresses by the designer, they'll be able to get what you want.

Over 500 Sheath Dresses

She can try doing a search on theknot.com. You can select the dress type there. When she finds a few that she likes, select New York from the drop down box to see which stores carry it.

(I'm very tiny too! I found that sheath dresses emphasized how skinny I was. I ended up with a simple strapless dress with a modified A line skirt - it does not flare as much as a regular A line. Your sister may want to give something like this a try!)

I also found that sheath's emphasized my small frame...but I found that Paradise Bridal was most helpful. Pronovia's, Monique Luo (what I wound up going with) and Marisa have some sheath's.

ETA: I second the knot - it was really helpful when I was looking for dresses. You can search by style and then find where the designer is sold.

Best of Luck to you Both!!!
