Petite brides who haven't bought their dress yet...

Do you worry that big poofy dresses will overwhelm you? I tried on a bunch of Maggies yesterday and I loved the Amara Royale, which is a mermaid, and my mom loved Dallas and Joelie, which were sooo big and I felt so lost underneath the material.

I totally understand your worry...i went with a satin A line dress and I am not going to put too much crinoline underneath...mermaid dresses made me nervous since i wanted to feel comfy and not self conscious all day long but I thnk they are beautiful and perfect for petite brides! post pics!!!

I don't have pics of me in it since my camera broke, but this is dress...In Ivory, not red! But the red is stunning! I am not too crazy about A-line dresses, but maybe I need to branch out..

its beautiful heather!! I love it!! i think it would look great on you!!

thanks lauren

it kind incorporates a little bit of everything that I love...the sweetheart necklline, ruched bodice, trompe l'oeil belt, mermaid bottom and lace!!! oh and crystals!

I guess it depends on the dress... I'm nervous about this as well.

But a family friend who is probably 90 lbs soaking wet and a size 00 (She ordered a size 0 from David's and STILL had to have it taken in) and she got a big poofy skirt with pickups.. and it looked quite nice.

I htink that dress is gorgeous!

I am petite and knew I didn't want a poofy dress cuz I didn't want to get lost inside. I am looking for an A-line type of dress. So when I tried on poofier dresses, my first question out of the dressing room would be... ' Does the dress look like it's eating me?' It just looked like a poof of white everywhere.

I'm 5'2' and I always want the big dress and then I tried it on and eeek!!!! You have to be 6' tall and 100 lbs to pull it off IMO!! So A-line it was for me!

NOOO MAZZ YOU CAN'T EVEN LOOK AT THE SAME DRESS AS ME...I'M SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO UPSET....






I know, I think the dress is very unique! Try it on and let me know how it goes!!!!

i tried on lots of trumpet/mermaid style gowns - i am 5 feet tall and like 90 lbs so im pretty tiny i LOVED the way that those dressed looked on me but i just didnt feel like a 'bride' in any of them.....i ended up getting an a-line dress with a gathered skirt - its not really pick ups more gathered and bunchy - there are pics in my album - its hard to tell because the dress, even though its my dress and not the sample is still really big on me - but i dont think i look to lost in it - i did like similair styled EOM dresses but i think those would have been too much for me since they are more along the lines of a ballgown

First off, your dress is stunnnnnnnnnnnnning!!

Second, I totally understand the 'not bride' feeling...I am worried about that too!!!! Like, a poofy dress screams bride, but a trumpet or mermaid only whispers it
