Wedding dresses for short brides!!!

Are their any dresses that look better on short brides? I am only 5'0 and was wondering if anyone found that certain dresses ended up looking better than other dresses because of your height?

I would stay away from overly poofy ball gowns which may overwhelm your frame and widen it instead of lengthen. A-line flatters most body types. Opt for an a line with a higher waist versus a dropped waist which can shorten legs.

If you want a more form fitting dress, I'd go with one that has an empire bust seem like this picture.

Or this which has a more defined waist line but still high enough not to shorten your legs. LOVE this dress
