No matter how spectacularly tall girls look, the miniature embodied in the female body always evoked the urge to protect and preserve among males. So do not be shy about your small growth, on the contrary, this feature should be emphasized and presented in a favorable light. This is especially true when choosing a wedding dress, the blessing that the modern bride has something to choose from. A wedding dress for brides of short or short stature, selected in accordance with the following tips, can visually add a few centimeters to the growth of the girl, and make her figure more slender.

Features of the cut

The choice of dress should always begin with a cut line. Visually stretch the figure are capable of vertical elements (seams, drapery, folds, inserts, prints, clearly defined accessories in the form of buttons or lacing, embroidery). A perfect option is lace decoration with a vertically arranged pattern. It doesn't matter how the vertical lines are expressed, but they should prevail over the horizontal elements.

Wedding dress with vertical lines for small brides

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

A visual increase in growth is possible only with a V-shaped neckline, which also narrows the area of ​​the shoulders.And the chest always looks spectacular with just such a neckline, and if it also resembles a heart in its shape, then you can create the illusion of volume. The waist line should be a little too high, and a skirt made of fabric with a soft, flowing texture and vertical folds will not be superfluous.

As for the length, there are three possible options:

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

A sheath dress with a fitted form looks very good on a miniature girl. In addition to this option, you can safely consider the now popular “mermaid” style.

A categorical “no” to the following things

So that your wedding outfit 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:

  • Clearly defined, pronounced horizontal lines and draperies. If the waist has bright horizontal elements that emphasize this line, then your figure will be visually shortened. By the same principle, sets composed of different top and bottom colors work.
  • A low waist, even on the most beautiful dress that haunts you, will be a real disaster. The body visually lengthens, and the legs, on the contrary, shorten. For miniature 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 squat. Let minimalism be better present in your image, which completely eliminates shuttlecocks and frills. And the train in the wedding image of a short girl will be clearly superfluous.
  • A neckline in the form of a rectangle should not appear at all in the wardrobe of the owner of a small stature, especially in a wedding look. You do not want to give your figure massiveness and weight? Choose a neckline that adds a touch of lightness. Particular attention should be paid to the shape of the neckline to the owners of mouth-watering shapes or broad shoulders.

The following photos show wedding dresses that are not suitable for girls of short stature.

Which dress can say a clear "yes"

With low growth and standard equipment, it is recommended to wear tight outfits. A striking example of what a girl with a small stature will look stunning is the style of the mermaid dress. It is romantic and very relevant at the moment.

If the forms of the future bride can be called mouth-watering, it is advisable to choose the style of the dress like “princess” or “empire”. Such images do not go out of fashion and look very well on puffy but short girls. In either of these two models, the bust will be favorably emphasized and the figure elongated. In addition, an empire-style dress can gently and unobtrusively hide some problem areas that I would not want to demonstrate.

What other elements of a wedding dress visually change the growth of the bride?

Every nuance is important in choosing a wedding dress, especially when the bride wants to hide some imperfections with her outfit, for example, small growth. Therefore, it is worth stopping attention at the following points:

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

Ideal length

It is sometimes difficult for girls with small body proportions to choose a dress or skirt, which could 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 there may be exceptions that relate to the universal sheath dress (let it only slightly cover the knees). But midi is clearly worth completely excluding from your wardrobe. By the ankle or to the middle of the ankle - this is the length that will finally ruin your image and trim growth to the maximum possible extent.

Midi Wedding Dress

How small the short girl seems, her dress should be just as miniature: the length of the mini, fully or partially open hands, the neckline free zone, thin straps, and the simplicity of the model. Here is the formula for the perfect outfit for those who would like to look a little taller.

Short dress for short brides

Although with short skirts it’s still worth being more careful, especially for girls with expressive feminine forms. Here the length at the knee level will be relevant. It’s good if it’s not too tight a pencil skirt. Fullness with low growth is an occasion to dwell on a classic case, not too closed.

Many girls with small stature are afraid to wear a dress on the floor, considering it a ban for themselves. With proper selection, even such a length will visually add a few cherished centimeters to low growth. In this case, only straight and tight-fitting styles are considered acceptable styles. A small and very modest expansion is allowed, but no more.

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

Accessories

Accessories should be selected, guided by the rules and do not forget at the same time about small 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.

Wedding Veil for Brides

Since the veil has already ceased to be an indispensable element in the image of the bride, you can replace it with a neat bezel, which will be one with the hairstyle.

Hairstyle for a short bride with a small growth for a wedding

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

Flat shoes remain on the shelf of a shoe store. With small stature, we do not recommend choosing shoes with a heel less than 7 cm.

    I absolutely agree with the recommendations on the choice of dresses, and on the choice of hairstyles. It is not so easy to be beautiful at a wedding with a height of 1.52 m.
