Hello all! Congratulations on your engagements! I am extremely excited to start planning my special day as I just have become engaged.
Okay, so I haven't gone dress shopping (still planning a date) but I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions on a specific dress type to fit my silhouette. I am 4'11 and 115 pounds. More busty on top (34C) and straight down the line. I want to appear taller and being at my size- I know that will be a difficult feat. All suggestions are welcomed!
Thank you so much!

I'm basically the same exact height/weight/shape and I had a hard time with any dresses that weren't fit n flare/mermaid. Everything else was just way too much dress.
FM me if you wanna see the dresses i tried on and liked/hated!! good luck to you!!

I have a similar body type to you except smaller bazumbas lol. I'm nervous about this as well. I loooove the look of empire waisted ballgowns, but I'm afraid they'll make me look even shorter than I am and the dress will be wearing me instead of the other way around.

I fit that description more or less... I went for an A-line. I feel like it does make me look taller.

I think they say that column/sheath dresses are good if you're petite and want to look taller.

I'm also petite and very straight all over lol. I would say a drop waisted A line gave me the best shape but I ended up going with a fit and flare/trumpet because Ioved the dress so much! Ballgowns were just out of the question, they were way too much dress!

I'm pretty much in the same boat as you. I found that I liked fit and flares because anything with too big of a bottom looked ridiculous on me. The sheath dresses and some slim A lines also looked good but only the A lines that didn't come out too much. The people in the bridal stores are a huge help but be prepared for all of the dresses to be clipped and you never see the back on them

Oh, I also found that belts made me look shorter! They cut me off in the middle and just did not look good on me at all. My dress allowed for a continuous line of sight and made me look taller!!!

same here...no sash or belt because that reason... I am 5'5 about 125 and I find the a-line and the puffy dresses eat me up and its all dress so I did a mermaid type but didn't flare out at the bottom more up top a little and not a big flare if that makes any sense lol

same here! I'm 5'1 and 110 lbs. I've tried on many dresses and fit n flare or sheath looked best. I'd say anything poofy bottom and the one with long train made me look even shorter.

I'm about the same weight but no boobs and I'm 5'2. I went with a ball gown and love it. I couldn't move in the fit and flares. I have pictures in my album.
