So to start I'm a Tom boy type never wear dresses always Jean's flannels leggings boots hoodies etc. I loved the rue de siene avril as it was different and I wanted to wow my fiance by wearing something form fitting for the one day ( I'm very self conscious normally loose clothes mainly ) but it's...
So to start I'm a Tom boy type never wear dresses always Jean's flannels leggings boots hoodies etc. I loved the rue de siene avril as it was different and I wanted to wow my fiance by wearing something form fitting for the one day ( I'm very self conscious normally loose clothes mainly ) but it's way out of my price range I found a knock off and have been talking with the seller went to go through with the purchase told her my height and she said I'm not tall enough for the design it will look weird so 7 months out about to start serious training in 2 weeks at a new job where I will have zero time to wedding plan, I'm back to square one in my search and all the form fitting dresses I've tried on I just dont love. I'm debating trying on some other fits but I'm afraid I'll drown in them do to my height especially bc I feel like even the form fitting ones make me look dawrfish and disproportionate I know alot of it is it not being fitted but wondering what other short brides have gone for. my shoulders are a bit wide and my bust is larger in proportion wondering if maybe an A line would work? what have you short brides worn? I prefer long sleeves but included 2 dresses I've tried on for an idea of what I've tried cfb_1345079.jpg

    The dress you found is stunning! I am also part of the sleeves club. They are so pretty!


    I'm actually average height at 5'6" and the struggle I found was that designers made dresses for the height of 5'9". I had the option of ordering an alternate length but just opted to order the standard length after trying it in heels. I was super worried about the cost of alterations. So glad you found one you love!

    I am 5'2 and also love my comfy clothes and my wedding dress was a ballgown. My reception dress was more of a boho-less poofy version of my wedding dress. (Gotta love my classy choice of words, haha) The 2nd dress looks beautiful on you.
