Wedding

Certain body shapes suit particular petit wedding dress styles more than others. Generally, an ‘A line’ wedding dress sits well on most petit women – A classic shape that has been forever fashionable – Well, just about! Ball gown wedding dresses are popular: Even so, many fashion gurus and stylists would advise against this design for petit women. And the Ball Gown dress does seem to be losing its edge… considered to be rather ‘old hat’ of late.

Every bride to be dreams of finding the perfect wedding dress – And often this particular dream will involve a fluffy mixture of tulle and taffeta. Unfortunately, for those with a petit frame, this style is not always suitable. Too much detail can be overwhelming for the petit figure. You may have your heart set on a particular style – However, it may not be the right style for your body shape. Knowing what flatters your figure is essential – Before spending hours flicking through those magazines!

A close fitting, straight, sheath style petit wedding dress in a light fabric such as organza will make the body look longer and offers a very sophisticated look:This is very much the latest ‘hot potato’ in petite wedding dress design. Drop down and empire waist dresses are not usually flattering – throwing out proportion. There are many petit wedding dress styles around: No need to be disappointed if a certain style turns out not to be the best choice for you. Wear you dress – Don’t let it wear you!
