Is it too much

Anastasia, on January 30, 2022 at 6:05 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 8
So I am 5’1 and 145lbs…. I always wanted to be a princess at my wedding. All the dresses I love are ballgown silhouettes is that ridiculous for my size?!

    No! I’m 5’2 and I absolutely love ballgown silhouettes. As long as you try on the dress and you love it you’re good!!

    Absolutely not! take a look at Curvy Brides Boutique on youtube if you want some inspiration for ladies of ALL sizes rocking beautiful ballgowns!

    Here are some inspo pics of poofier dresses - IMO everyone who wants to feel like a princess on their wedding day should have the chance to!

    Go for it! I don’t know where you are located, but if you have a hard time finding bridal boutiques with ball gowns for you to try, check to see if there are any shops in your area that specialize in quinceanera dresses. They might have some dresses you could try on just to get a feel for the shape Smiley smile

    I'm 5"1 and I wore a ballgown style dress for my wedding. I don't see any reason why that would be ridiculous

    Oh, I also just thought to add... If you're finding the ballgowns are feeling too big and too long since you're a little shorter... you could always try on some tea length or ballerina length dresses, that are likely to be close to full length on you!

    Not ridiculous at all! Try on all kinds. If you love one but it feels too poofy you can have a layer or two of crinoline removed!

    Oh wow I totally misread your post! I’m sorry!


    That said, I can’t imagine why a ball gown silhouette would be too much, unless perhaps the style for the rest of the wedding didn’t quite match a ball gown choice.
    Anyway, I’m sure you’ll find a great dress! Please post pictures when you do Smiley smile
