This whole time, I thought because I'm short (5'1'') and plus size (size 18 dress)...that I would need to wear a short knee length dress. I thought a long dress would make me look even shorter and wider.
This weekend I went to David's Bridal and tried on 3 dresses. 2 long, 1 Tea Length. I did not try on a short knee length dress because time didn't allow it.
The long dresses looked good on me...I think.. and the consultant said they looked good on me. (not sure how much I can trust her word though) But she told me that short dresses is what would make me look shorter and wider...not long dresses.
The Tea length dress looked HORRIBLE on me...
Now I'm wondering...maybe I can wear a long dress? However..I didn't try on a short dress like I wanted..so I have nothing to compare the long dress to....except the horrible tea length one.
You opinion...do short plus size woman look better in long or short dresses?
Answer
I think that long wedding dresses look good on any height. If you want a long wedding dress, I would go for it. I am 5'9" 230 and I am going for a long dress. So it does not matter, you go for the dress that you like. I did look at some short dresses and they look good too. But I am taller than you, so you might feel different about that for you. I know that you have mentioned that you are having your wedding at a rose garden, so you dont have to go for something too ballroom like, you can go with a nice flow like gown perfect for outdoors. Good luck!!!!

I am 23 and about to get engaged for a second time. i am looking for a wedding dress that fits my reloigious modesty rules of sleeves covering the elbow and a neckline covering the collarbone. i am a size 16 , and seeing that it is a second marriage i don't wanna go all bright white. perhaps ivory or gold or champaign . can someone help?
i have found that most modest gown sites cater to LSD brides which are beautiful but not what i need. the sleeves are not long enough and the neckline high enough. i have tried the search engine thing with now luck. that's why i'm here.

Try this website for Jasmine Bridal. They have this thing called "Temple Ready" You get to pick the Jasmine dress of your choice, then you can choose your neckline (high, v-neck, etc.) and your sleeve length (no sleeve, short sleeve, etc.)
All of the Jasmine dresses are beautiful. Most of the dresses can be ordered in gold or ivory. They come up to a size 28 and they are fairly reasonable in price.

I hope that this helps! Good luck :)
