help me find a wedding outfit for the vertically challenged...

[tiredemma]

hi ladies, im off to 3 weddings this summer, first one in the beg of june and last one first week of sept, need to find an outfit which will "compliment" my dwarf like stature, im just 5' and have so much difficulty in finding something which doesnt make me look like a 7 yr old dressed in her mothers clothes. any suggestions? im pear shaped as well so certain clothes make me look like a large bowling skittle.
im sure some of you have some pearls of wisdom for me!!

Similar problems - have you tried the John Lewis personal shopping service? I found then very good (esp as I also had to be kitted out post-natally, so was short and round....)

Don;t try and dress as to make yourself look taller or alter your proportions - just wear something that is made for people of petite proportions and that fits well - that way you will look properly dressed IMO!! - and nothign too long - that will swamp you either!!

I'd go to John Lewis too or Anne Brookes in Debenhams - they are good if you are petite!!

Principles also have a petite range and if you look on their website they've 15% discount for online purchases today www.principles.co.uk

thanks you guys, am looking at various sites on internet now.......i will go to the ball!
