wedding gowns petite image

I am going gown shopping and have a hair appointment before. Should I get my makeup done? Also what gowns might you suggest at David's bridals?
Answer
1] Start at the top:
1] hair - are you wearing it up or down for the wedding? Straight or curly? Wear it that way when you shop for gown and headpiece.
2] makeup - no, don't get it 'done'. You have enough to worry about, besides smearing your makeup trying on dresses.
Wear your everday minimum - they will ask you to blot of lipstick etc. anyway.
3] wear a:
a] strapless bra - more neckline options
b] pantyhose
c] heels the height you want for wedding [ and closed or open toe ]
4] try on all the diiferent shades - white, ivory, off white; all different necklines, all different skirts, sleeves, waists.
Bring someone to help/take notes [ 'ooh, i like the neck, but not the sleeves'- illusion neck yes, bell sleeves no recorded in yes and no columns. ]
Then sales lady can help you find a gown with all the features you want.
Also bring one of your attendents to pick out their gowns, after you record all body types of your bridesmaids [ pear shaped, plus sized, petite, boy shaped, busty ].

Anyone know of a store in the US that carries plus size petite wedding gowns?

I'm a plus size 20 but I'm five foot one and I need a nice wedding dress from a reliable store/site. David's bridal has some good ones but I don't think they carry plus size dresses for petite women... Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Sorry what you are looking for doesn't exist :(. What I recommend to my petite brides is look for a dress that has an uncomplicated waist seam (not covered in lace and beads) or one with no lace on the hem so it can be easily altered.
