14 Chic Wedding Dresses for Petite Women

Shopping for a wedding dress can be a struggle when you have a petite frame. You'd probably want to avoid oversized and chunky details as well as puffy princess gowns (you don't want your gown to be wearing you). Just keep it simple--less is more, especially in this case.

Show off your petite frame by opting for shoulder-baring styles that feature a halter or illusion neckline, delicate spaghetti straps, or an off-the-shoulder top part. If you like sleeves, that's totally fine--just pick a gown with a shorter hemline that will flatter your legs.

And it's probably a good idea to stay away from long over-embellished veils or trains--a blusher or a flyaway veil would look so much better.

Now take a look at some of our favorite bridal gowns perfect for women with petite frames.
