I tried on some lovely dresses on there at Xmas but far too short for me (am 5'6'') so worth a try anyway.

What about something from the Monsoon petite range, like this
here
or the others ones in the current range online here

samsonara · 23/02/2009 19:01

this silkwallis floral is pretty for a summer wedding in a country house and could be shortened if they don't have the petite size

samsonara · 23/02/2009 19:03

they have the blue version in petite on line here

QuantitativeMeasure · 23/02/2009 19:53

those monson dresses are beautiful

are you me? exactly the same size!!

Anyway, agree wholeheartedly wiht samsonara - I'm currently coveting a couple of the Monsoon Petite dresses. Really depends on your colouring...

I love

the neckline on this

the colour of this

this, but is it a bit too cliche wedding?

See, I love the Duckegg blue one- but its exactly the same colour (and similar style) to the bridesmaids dresses so perhaps not a good idea!!
