Advice and Information for Petite Women

Do you think this is a good wedding dress for a first time bride?

Gia asked:


I was thinking of buying this wedding dress (http://www.kekopeanstitches.com/designer-wedding-dress.html) but some of my friends say I should get this one (http://www.kekopeanstitches.com/plus-petite-size-wedding-dress.html?wedding-dress) . I am terrible when it comes to making decisions this major, I wonder if you lot could provide some advice?
Sorry this is the first one: http://www.kekopeanstitches.com/designer-wedding-dress.html

    It’s really up to you. If the first one is the one you want, by all means, get that one! I personally like the second one better, but that doesn’t mean it would look better on you! Go with your gut.

    I wasn’t able to view the first one for some reason, but I saw the second one. Honestly, I didn’t like it that much. But that is only my taste. It only matters what you like, especially if you’re the one paying for it.

    the first link doesn’t work. :( no picture.
    but i don’t really like the dress in the 2nd picture so much. it looks a bit too much like a curtain or something.

    congratulations and have fun with the wedding planning! :)

    Actually the first link isnt working on my computer so I cant see what it looks like.

    The second dress is beautiful though. Im sure the first one is also nice.

    Hope your wedding is everything you ever dreamed of!

    Well, the first link doesn’t work, but I will give you advice anyway. Go with the dress that sort of takes your breath away when you envision yourself walking down the aisle in it. Also, make sure it’s comfortable, because nothing’s worse than spending a whole day in a dress that digs into your waist and makes you sit weird. That second dress, the ones your friends like, is lovely, but when I saw the corset on it, the first thing that came to my mind was PAIN!

    I am a bride-to-be myself, so I understand how important every decision seems for your wedding, but you need to relax. People tend to make far too big of a deal out of the wedding gown. Just keep telling yourself, No matter what I wear, I will be a beautiful bride because I am happy and in love. It’s true- really beautiful brides are beautiful because they are radiating happiness from within. They could be wearing a Hefty bag and still look radiant and gorgeous. Good luck!

    i figured out how to see the first one and i like it :) but i don’t like the second one . go with the one YOU want. this is YOUR day, not theirs. when they get married, then can wear that one. chose what ever dress makes you feel the most beautiful. that’s the most important thing.

    the second one all the way!

    but you can wear a gunnysack if you want- its your day!

    Its up to you, but I like number 1 better. Number 2 reminds me of lingerie.

    I agree with your friends. That first dress isn’t nearly as pretty as the second.

  15. Sassy Bride Says:

    If you truly want my honest opinion I do not like either of these dresses all that much. They do not look like they are made very well…if I had to pick I would say the second one…
    I can see the price range you are looking for by looking at the dress prices on the website and I think you can find a better dress. If you are open to suggestions you should check out these dresses. I think they will look of better quality…but in the end its up to you.
    Whatever dress you go with make sure that YOU are the one who likes it. Not them…
    Good luck =)

    I like this one better than the others.

    I think that they both look very nice. You should go with your gut feeling as to which dress to wear, and which one looks better on you. If you can try these dresses on at a dress shop, have a lady who works there see them both on you, and then tell you what she thinks, that way its not someone who knows you. But I think that pending on your body type, they both look beautiful!

    When you daydream abotu your wedding which one do you see yourself in.

    Good Luck and Congratulations.

    I really don’t like the first one. The two flowery looking things are a little to close to the ****** area and the thing attached to the back bugs me. I really like the second one it’s really cute and kinda unique. But in the end it comes down to which one you like more. Oh, and have you tried them on?

  21. ditzwannabe Says:

    number 2 is not cute at all. I am not a huge fan of the first one either but it is the lesser of two evils. I think you could find something better though.

  22. Banana Says:

    Honestly, I prefer the 1st one. I like the detail on the top. It’s more unique. The 2nd one . . . I just really don’t like it. And just a bit of advice, I have no idea whether you’ve tried on before or you’re just going to purchase it online, but you should really know what these look like on first. I chose several dresses on line that I thought would be perfect for me and flattering and they were horrible on me! I mean truly horrible! I was shocked. Even my favorite one that I knew would be perfect, somehow managed to make me look like I had huge boobs, a completely flat @ss and even a little pregnant. Just FYI. Ha ha! Congratulations!

    Well I really liked the second one the best.

    Truthfully these dresses look kind of cheap and tacky in the pictures which means they’ll look even worse in person. Since they aren’t inexpensive, I suggest that you go to David’s Bridal and buy a gown in person. Also try your local independent bridal shops they sometimes have sales and also not all designers are expensive.
