@SoontobeMrsA: I'm 5'1 and thought short girls shouldn't wear ball gowns. But I decided what the heck! It's the one day in my life I can get away with it. So I'm wearing a Blue by Enzoani gown. Calistoga.I'm planning on wearing heels with it (no shoes in thie pic) but nothing too high. Also, the bust will fit better once it's altered.***Sorry it's so huge! I tried to make it smaller but it didn't work***
I am 5'1" and will be wearing Pronovias Genova (This is the sample and I look terrible...we were running around NYC all day)
@SoontobeMrsA: & @njm1313: Aw thank you ladies!!! You're so sweet!
@missyjane77: You look stunning! PS: I love the pleats on the top. It makes it so unique!
@FutureMrsBondo: Pleats are the best, aren't they?! :) You look fabulous as well!
I am 5'1" too and mine is the Hechizo by Pronovias. I tried on some of the dropped waist dresses and they didn't suit me since it made me look like I have a long torso and no legs! I plan on wearing heels with mine. This is the sample dress so it was wicked long :)

I'm 5'1" and had the hardest time finding something. Here is my Aire Barcelona - not fitted yet, but I think it will work!
I am 5'2" and wore a Mia Salano. She has petite length dresses. The only alterations I needed done was a little bit more off the length and a bustle. Which waws great beacause my dress has a ton of applique detailing and I only needed to take an inch off the bottom as opposed to the usualy 5 or 7 inches :)
I'm 5'2" and will be wearing this from David's Bridal. It's not altered yet and will need a LOT of length taking off.

I'm wearing Melissa Sweet 'Lia' - which is from Priscilla of Boston. One of the great things about POB is you have the option to have the dress custom fitted to you, which is great for us petite girls! This ensures the the dress is hitting in the right spots; I had that problem a lot when I was trying on gowns. I don't have a pic of me in the dress but here's one I found:
I wore Casablanca 1906 and I'm 5'2. Casablanca will do custom length measurements for free, at least making a gown shorter. This was very helpful since my dress had a lot of detail. No pics on this PC though.
I'm 5' even and I'm wearing Maggie Sottero Geneva:

Me and my Allure 2302. I'm 5 foot even, but I'm wearing 4" heels here (the ones I'll be wearing for my wedding). The dress is still a bit long, so it's pinned under the bust here & the back is unzipped, but you get the idea :)
I am 4'10" and I am wearing a Casablance dress with 4 inch heels. I paid an extra $100 for them to shorten the dress during the production stage instead of at the time of alterations
Here is mine at 2nd fitting. I am only 5'0 tall, 110 lbs. The sample dress was originally a trumpet style, but I felt like the fit made me look disproportionate. But since I fell in love with the dress, I had it altered to look like a dropped-waist style. They still have to shorten the torso just a little bit and I am adding another underlayer to add more poof. Don't go by what style retailers say look good on your height, go by what makes you feel beautiful. My face says it ALL!

Hi Bees,
I'm petite (5'3 100 lbs) and am just curious what other petite brides are wearing? Please post pictures of you in your dress!
Thanks!
