Short Brides - Show me your dresses!

tkb1985

Hello all!

I'm going on my very first dress shopping trip in just over a week's time - and I have absolutely no idea what I'm looking for! When I was heavier, I knew exactly the kind of dress I wanted, A-line, strapless, a fair bit of tulle :embarassed:

Now that I'm 40lb down however... I have no ideas. I'm 5'1", so a shortie (and plan to wear killer heels) - so I know a lot of dresses will swamp me.

Any shortie brides out there care to share their dresses for inspirational purposes?

Tisha :flowerforyou:

Apologies for the ridiculous face, this was taken covertly in the changing room, and it's the only photo I have! This hadn't been fitted yet, so it doesn't quite gather as it should where it's too big / long.

Definitely agree about being swamped though - I focused mostly on fishtail dresses to give a bit of volume without being drowned in meringue. Also wanted straps or a halter neck, or I'll probably spend the entire day yanking it up.



Advice - keep your options open! You might have a really specific idea of what you want, but let the staff suggest stuff - chances are you might be surprised.
