Anyone up for a wedding dress challenge? Short bride - big boobs!

[cejoy101]

Hi, my niece is getting married next Spring. She has no idea what style wedding dress to look for.

She is very short (5'1) with big boobs - F cup. She is a size 8-10(apart from her boobs) and quite curvy.

The wedding ceremony and reception are at a country house hotel.

She really needs to wear a bra so nothing strapless.

I think with her height a lot of styles we looked at online will swamp her.

Has anyone any suggestions?

Her budget is quite small but once she has an idea what style to look for she can look online or get a dress made.

I had a similar shape when I got married, although I'm a bit taller. I wore an empire line dress that had quite a high neckline, then cut under the boobs, so it showed off my figure, allowed me to wear a bra, and emphasised my figure.

Alternatively, she could look at getting a dress made - one designer I looked at discussed spaghetti straps on the dress, sewing the bra into the dress and lots of boning. I wasn't brave enough to go through with it though.
