    Hi bee!

    Do think this dress is to much on me. I didn't wear heel that day. I am 4'11 and 120.

    thanks

    I think with some shoes and hem alteration that dress would be fantastic! :)

    I don't think it is too much. I think you look absolutely beautiful.

    Firstly you are not chubby and second I think it is too much. I am 5ft and 105 pounds so quite similar, The bust detail is too big for your petite frame you need something simpler with less detail. This is just my opinion,

    Definitely needs to be shorter, but I think the dress is beautiful.

    Once it is shortened I think it will look fabulous!

    Can you order it in a petite length?

    The dress is very pretty, however I am afraid that by the time you have the necessary alterations that beauty of the beading along the hem line will be minimized. Think about how talk your heels will be and will you wear them all night?

    You are not Chubby at all! Be mindful of a the amount of fabric in the dress, I think you would look great in a beaded sheath dress.

    I don't think you are chubby at all...However, I agree that you may lose a lot of the detail in the lower half of the dress once the alterations are done. Have you called around to some other dress shops to see if they have some petite dresses in stock?

    First of all, you are not chubby. I certainly don't think that all of the petite girls here are 100lbs. I am 5'1 and weigh about 118 and definitely do NOT consider myself to be chubby. For your height/weight, you are in the normal BMI range (just and fyi). I am not taking offense to the title of your post, but I can see how it may be offensive to other brides.

    About the dress....I think that it is really beautiful! Especially after the alteratoins are made, I think that it will look even greater on you! :)

    Remember that most wedding dresses run small. Don't stress over the size, and a long train will add more fabric to the dress so be careful sometimes this maybe too much. You are beautiful and will be in your dream dress of choice.

    A bridal size 10 is equal to a street size 6.  Be nice to yourself!

    Looks great. I am so glad I am not the  only one who went dress shopping in a regular bra.

    I had a friend who wore this dress (it's a maggie, right?).  She's around 5"2, and she looked breathtaking.  Anything can be done with alterations.  In fact, I think that the dress makes you look quite tall!
