pps - for my sisters wedding, i wore a strapless a-line and that seemed to work, but i want to be a bride, not a bm....

Re: Small brides!!

Hey... I'm about the same heigh/weight as you and I ended up with a HUGE ballgown!!!! I got it at Lillette's, they are awesome in there! I knew I definitely wanted strapless b/c I like the way it looks on me. I tried on A-lines, ballgowns, etc... and just fell totally in love w/ my huge ballgown strapless Eve of Milady dress! When else can I wear a princess dress like that?!

Re: Small brides!!

i think it really depends on your actual body and the dress... i tried on some ballgowns that looked like the dress was wearing me!! just try on a little of everything until you start to find the style that flatters you... i ended up finding out that that assymetrical waist is what flattered me the most...

That's what I thought, but I LOVED how it looked and especially how I felt in it!!!!!! Try everything, you have a lot of time!

Re: Small brides!!

you can wear tule, bc you are thin and it will look stunning. i have a little more wieght than you and withthe tule i felt so large. go with strapless, and you will look beautiful, if you want a little puff, go for it, being tiny there is nothing wrong with it. you can probobly look good in everything. update me ok.

Re: Small brides!!

There are a bunch of gowns now that are a cross between an A-line and a ball gown. Try those!

I'm a wee little person like you and those didn't overwhelm my frame or seem to bridesmaidy.

I'm 5'4' and weigh about 110lbs, so I know how you feel about not wanting to get lost. My dress is a Demetrios Couture. It's a halter top with an A-line bottom. There's enough tulle so I don't need a slip. I ordered a size 8, so you could prob get away with a 4/6. HTH!!

Re: Small brides!!

i think in my head i have an idea of what i'd look like in a ball gown, and its just not pretty. but, i'll try it, just to see.

this helps!! my problem is, when they ordered my bm dress for my sisters wedding, they had to order a size 4 and cut it 4 sizes.....it looked fine and you def couldn't tell that it was altered so much.

Re: Small brides!!

blah blah blah help me i'm a skinny wen....

oh sorry Sarah, i was having a moment.

I'm 5'2', but 'curvy' - will not be going strapless (too uncomfy for the girls). Also extremely short-waisted, so i need a long line bodice to make me LOOK less midget-like.

ughhhh i hate dresses.

I'm the exact same...5'2' and very curvy...staying the heck away from strapless and anything too poofy - don't want to get lost in it.

i was waiting for someone to start with me!! glad its you!! no worries!!

i'm not short waisted, i have a long torso so i need something high in the boob area, that make sense. i am basically curve-less so i need something that will make me look like i have curves
