Wedding dress for a bride of small or short stature

No matter how impressive tall girls look, but the diminutiveness embodied in the female body has always caused the male sex to defend and protect. So do not be ashamed of your small stature, this feature, on the contrary, needs to be emphasized and presented in a favorable light. This is especially true when choosing a wedding dress, since the modern bride has plenty to choose from. A wedding dress for short or short brides, selected according to the following tips, can visually add a few centimeters to a girl's height and make her figure more slender.

Choosing a dress should always start with a cut line. Vertical elements (seams, drapery, folds, inserts, prints, clearly delineated accessories in the form of buttons or lacing, embroidery) are capable of visually stretching the figure. An excellent option would be lace decoration with a vertically positioned pattern. It doesn't matter how the vertical lines are expressed, but they should prevail over the horizontal elements.

When you have decided on the cut line, you can proceed to the choice of color. Here, the most acceptable option is a monochrome dress. One color and texture actively lengthens the silhouette. Dark color and dullness (lack of shine) is the right choice for girls with short stature.

A visual increase in height is possible only with a V-neck, which also narrows the shoulder area.Yes, and the chest always looks spectacular with just such a cut, and if in its shape it also resembles a heart, then you can create the illusion of volume. Let the waistline be a little high, and the skirt, made of fabric with a soft, flowing texture and vertical folds, will not become superfluous.

As for the length, there are three options here:

• at knee level;
• no more than 10 cm above the knee;
• to the ankles.

Sheath dress with a fitted shape looks very good on a petite girl. In addition to this option, you can safely consider the now popular "mermaid" style.

So that your wedding dress does not cause disappointment, and the most important day is not overshadowed by an unsuccessful choice of dress, you need to say a clear and uncompromising "no" to the presence of the following elements:

• Well-defined, pronounced horizontal lines and draperies. If there are bright horizontal elements at the waist that emphasize this line, then your figure will be visually shortened. Kits made up of top and bottom of different colors work according to the same principle.
• A low waist, even on the most beautiful dress that haunts you, will be a real disaster. The body will visually lengthen, and the legs, on the contrary, will shorten. For petite girls, such a change in proportions is unacceptable.
• You should not even look in the direction of too long (below the ankle) and fluffy (bell, flared) skirts. The former will conceal your height, and the latter will add a squat. Let minimalism be better in your look, which completely excludes flounces and frills. And the train in the wedding look of a short girl will obviously be superfluous.
• The neckline neckline in the form of a rectangle should not appear in the wardrobe of the owner of small stature, especially in a wedding look. You do not want to give your figure massiveness and weight? Choose a neckline that adds lightness to your look. Owners of mouth-watering shapes or wide shoulders should pay special attention to the shape of the neckline.

With a short stature and standard build, it is recommended to wear tight-fitting outfits. A striking example of what a girl with a small stature will look stunning in is the style of a mermaid dress. It is romantic and very relevant nowadays.

If the shape of the future bride can be called appetizing, then it is advisable to choose the style of the dress of the "princess" or "empire" type. Such images do not go out of fashion and look very good on puffy, but short girls. In any of these two models, the bust will be favorably emphasized, and the figure will be elongated. In addition, an empire-style dress is able to softly and unobtrusively hide some problem areas that I would not like to show.

When choosing a dress for a wedding, every nuance is important, especially when the bride wants to hide some flaws with her outfit, for example, small stature. Therefore, it is worth paying attention to the following points:

1. A narrow, cropped sleeve is an option for a short bride. The bat sleeve also has the right to life. Sleeveless dresses also look great on a low girlish waist, but then you need to carefully consider the shape of the straps.
2. If you imagine your future wedding dress with only straps, then let them be thin. It is worth considering models with one strap or generally with bare shoulders - this option will only emphasize the femininity of the lines.
3. The neckline is desirable in the shape of a V - take this as a rule when choosing not only a wedding dress, but also any other clothing. The only exceptions are short girls with small breasts - your choice may be a boat neckline.

It can be difficult for girls with small body proportions to choose a dress or skirt that would be the perfect option for any occasion. In this matter, the length of the skirt or dress has a major influence on the decision. A skirt below the knee is a taboo for petite girls who want to look stunning. Although here there may be exceptions that relate to a universal sheath dress (even if it only slightly covers the knees). But midi should obviously be completely excluded from your wardrobe. Ankle-deep or mid-ankle-length is exactly the length that will completely ruin your image and cut your height to the maximum.

No matter how petite a short girl seems, her dress should be just as petite: mini length, fully or partially open arms, free neckline, thin straps, simplicity of the model. Here is the formula for the perfect outfit for those who would like to look a little taller.

Although you should still be more careful with short skirts, especially for girls with expressive feminine forms. The length at the knee level will be relevant here. It is good if it is not too tight pencil skirt. Fullness with short stature is a reason to stop at a classic case, not too closed.

Many girls with small stature are afraid to put on a dress to the floor, considering it a ban for themselves. With the right selection, even this length will visually add a few cherished centimeters to the short stature. In this case, only straight and tight-fitting styles are considered acceptable. Small and very modest expansion is allowed, but nothing more.

Follow our advice and be irresistible, and no one will even notice your lack of growth.

Accessories should be selected, guided by the rules and do not forget about the little female tricks. If the bride's height is small, then the veil should not be long and magnificent. Choose a short or, in extreme cases, medium length.

Since the veil has already ceased to be an obligatory element in the image of the bride, it can be replaced with a neat headband, which will be one with the hairdo.

If you want to do a tall hairstyle, then remember that it should not be lush. This condition should always be observed by short girls, and not just before the wedding. When choosing hair jewelry, give preference to something modest and, again, not too voluminous.

Shoes without a heel remain on the shelf of a shoe store. If you are small, we do not recommend choosing shoes with heels less than 7 cm.
