I'm only 5'0 and 134lbs. I'm still working on losing another 20 lbs. But I need to at least start looking for a dress. I'm having such a hard time trying to figure out what style to get. I'm so short,and I have a bigger bust,so I just don't know where to start. I do want something simple, more of a small but pretty wedding. Any help would be great!!
Hi Carey,
I found some styles you can consider that would flatter your figure type.
This first one is a MS-M1014Z Mia Solano Wedding Gown. This is an a-line wedding dress, with a sweetheart neckline and cap sleeves.
This next one has a scoop neckline, sleeveless, a-line wedding dress with a natural waistline. ED-1340 Eden Wedding Gown
And here is another gown ED-1369 Eden Wedding Gown. This one has a V-neckline and a tank style a-line shaping.
I chose these necklines because they are considered good choices for those with a large bust. Halter style gowns with v-necklines or sweetheart necklines also work well. These neckline shapes are flattering for full busted women. But if you don't want cleavage to show you can't go too low.
The a-line gown that is not too full, is good for short brides. A narrow straight sheath wedding dress would work also. These dress silhouettes give you a taller look. A wide width gown will make you look shorter.
Notice I didn't choose any strapless necklines because most mature women like to avoid those if they can. But if you like strapless wedding gowns , make sure the neckline comes up enough to give good coverage of your bust.
Look for gowns similar to these while wedding dress shopping.
