“Hi Tansy, I really need your help in finding me a perfect dress for my special day. I am so depressed, as I can not find any dresses to flatter my figure suitably. Uh, I am petite.” As a designer, I often hear this kind of complaint from petite women that it is very hard to find a dress that fits them perfectly. I have already worked in Lunss for six years and would love to share my experience here to help petite bride-to-be avoid wasting time and money on the wrong wedding gown.
Long story short, please keep in mind that what you need is a wedding dress that can create the illusion of a longer torso and slimmer stature. Also, these wedding dresses should be as simple as possible.
Luckily, the below 5 tips will make it come true!
1, Empire waist wedding dresses for petite brides
A wedding dress with an empire waist helps to elongate a miniature figure. Please put your eyes on empire waist wedding dresses in advance, if you would like to look a few feet taller than you actually are on your wedding day!
Friendly tip: A petite bride who has a short upper torso should avoid empire waist wedding dresses.
2, Trumpet wedding dresses for petite brides
A wedding dress with a trumpet skirt and form-fitting bodice helps to stretch out your midsection and adds inches instantly.
Friendly tip: Please avoid a puffy bottom with lots of voluminous fabric which may look overwhelming on the small frame. Also, a petite bride with a short waist should avoid all kinds of trumpet wedding dresses.
3, Sheath wedding dresses for petite brides
Wedding dress shaped in a sheath silhouette is very modern and fashionable. It is very form-fitting( straight-cut) from top to bottom to hug your curve. But a sheath wedding dress is not a good choice for a petite bride with short-waist.
4, Modified A-line wedding dresses for petite brides
A wedding dress shaped in a modified A-line style is flattering on almost everyone. An A-line wedding dress creates a kind of lengthening effect by accentuating the waist keeping the eye moving and creating the illusion of height. It is best for small busts and slimming large hips. Please avoid puffy bottoms too.
5, Short wedding dresses for petite brides
A wedding dress with a fitted bodice and short skirt that hits the knee is perhaps the best choice for petite brides with stellar calves to get that taller look.
Friendly tip: Petite brides with thick ankles or calves should avoid this style.
Above all 5 wedding dress tips for a petite bride will help you to say goodbye to your worries about looking less than ideal in your wedding dress. But certain styles work best on certain body types, so do not let the rules narrow your search too much. If the dress is made with the exact measurements, it must give you the best fit.
