What girl getting married doesn't dream of adjusting something about her figure? Most owners of a large bust are not averse to reducing their volume, and fragile, graceful beauties are often ready to lie under a surgeon’s scalpel for the sake of the coveted 90 or more. Try to adjust your desired sizes by choosing the “right” styles of wedding clothes. One of the trends in the fashion industry, including the wedding industry, has been the creation by fashion designers of collections for small busts. Exquisite outfits focus attention on the graceful lines of the figure, visually enlarging the breasts.
Empire style dress
An empire style wedding dress is the epitome of femininity . Its highlight lies in the high waist and the complete absence of rings under the dress. Due to this, a weightless, flying silhouette is created.

Styles
Before choosing a model, you should study suitable styles of wedding dresses.
- A-silhouette. Such wedding dresses of small sizes are visually similar to the letter “A”, so with their help you can emphasize the beauty of the chest, hide the hips and excess volume on them.
- Empire style This outfit features a high waist, from which the skirt falls just below the bust line in vertical folds. The style is well suited for models with small breasts, pear-shaped figures or pregnant women. Often the dress is decorated with various decorative elements.
- Case. Very beautiful fitted dresses have a long bodice and a fitted skirt. The models are suitable for petite brides with an ideal figure. Often these styles are complemented by an open back and also have a variety of decorative elements.
- With asymmetrical hem. In this case, special emphasis is placed on the skirt. It has a non-standard shape, it can be short in front and long in back. The outfit is ideal for those who have perfect slender legs.
- Dress transformer. Using this model, you can create several images at once. It has a fastening long skirt that can be taken off at any time to remain in a short and very beautiful outfit. In some cases, the sleeves or train may be removable.
- "Gode." One of the most chic options that has become a favorite among celebrities. Thanks to the flared bottom skirt and narrow silhouette, this model will visually increase the girl's height.
- A short. An ideal option for a short girl, as it emphasizes the fragility of the model.
What to avoid:
- From long hemlines that completely hide the legs.
- Fluffy skirts in several layers.
- Various horizontal lines, which can also be too contrasting.
- Low waist.
Asymmetrical dress
The asymmetrical design of the top of the dress helps create the illusion of additional volume in the neckline. This cut of the bodice, complemented by unusually shaped bows, draperies or even colored inserts, will make the wedding dress catchy . Non-standard details go well with fragile figures.

Wedding dress styles for small breasts
What styles of bridesmaid dresses are suitable for those with small breasts? For girls with modest bust measurements, fashion designers offer clothes in the Empire style or the Greek style. A small neckline, draperies, and high waistline visually add additional volume to the décolleté area. The use of large details and an asymmetrical cut for dresses of this style will skillfully divert attention from the problem area, favorably emphasizing the grace and beauty of the fragile figure of the newlywed.
But what should a bride do if the Greek style of wedding dress is not her option? When choosing possible styles in the salon, pay attention to models with:
- low boat neckline that reveals the upper part of the shoulders;
- American armhole and stand-up collar;
- figuratively carved corsets, richly embroidered in the neckline with crystals and beads;
- Sabrina crew neckline;
- many vertical and horizontal draperies.
Equally important when choosing a wedding dress for a newlywed with small breasts is a perfectly fitting bra. The push-up model with supportive foam or gel filler lifts the breasts and increases their size. For dress styles with an open back, where a bra is not provided, special cups are sewn in, operating according to the same push-up system.
What styles, besides the Greek one, will visually enlarge the bride's small bust, highlight the lovely curves of a slender figure and turn the bride into a fairy fairy? Short in figure, flowing silk style of the 30s, A-cut and mermaid silhouette - the choice of models is almost limitless. Bows and flowers, asymmetrical lines of decor and ruffles, wide flounces and puffy sleeves will create additional volume in the chest area. Avoid long, tight styles with an emphasis on the neckline.
Fur trim of a wedding dress along the neckline will help to visually enlarge a small bust. Natural furs add aristocracy to the image of the newlywed. This style looks amazing on those with narrow shoulders, hiding figure flaws. In the cold season, a fur cape or bolero will brightly emphasize the chest line, visually giving additional centimeters of volume.
Wedding dress with cape effect
Exquisite beadwork on an airy chiffon cape will decorate your wedding dress. Light, weightless fabric will envelop the girl’s body in the finest cobwebs and visually add additional volume to the neckline area. Designers offer similar models for very slender newlyweds with a small bust size. Long handmade lace, smoothly turning into a train, will emphasize the grace of the young beauty and add solemnity and aristocracy.
A wedding bolero is a spectacular detail of the outfit of a newlywed with small breasts. Leading couturiers at the 2017 season collection shows successfully combine this accessory with unusual models and styles of dresses. The use of identical fabrics, soft cut lines, emphasis on the sleeves and chest line are the advantages of this mini-jacket. Additional voluminous details of the bolero - bows, large clasps - visually enlarge the bride's bust, adding the necessary centimeters.
With additional details on the bust line
With small breast sizes, are your preferences far from the “empire” style? Opt for an elegant dress with a deep neckline, corset bodice and full skirt. A stylish bow clasp and lace cape will add desired centimeters to your modest bust size. An asymmetrical neckline, decorated with a complex insert of gathered folds, will balance the A-line silhouette of the wedding dress model. For those with small breasts, delicate models with 3D flower decorations are suitable. Dresses for the bride, embroidered in the neckline with Swarovski crystals and voluminous embroidery, look impressive and eye-catching.
The bodice of the dress is draped with lace or embroidery
A variety of draperies - vertical, horizontal, asymmetrical - emphasize the grace of the bride and give a stylish look to her appearance. The finest lace, gathered in small folds in the chest area, gently wraps the fragile figure of the newlywed. Bright embroidery with beads, voluminous threads of silver or gold color will become an exquisite decor for a wedding dress. Small breasts in such models visually look more voluminous, delighting the wearer of the outfit and delighting those present.
Wedding dress with accent on sleeves
Puffy, elbow-length sleeves of a wedding dress are ideal for girls with a narrow chest and small breast size. Spectacular lanterns and an off-the-shoulder boat neckline will adorn the owner of a modest bust and highlight the style of the wedding. Openwork boleros with short sleeves create an additional emphasis on the décolleté area. Greek exquisite tunics - bridesmaid outfits with petal-style sleeves - will turn the young beauty into a real goddess. The puffed sleeves of a princess-style wedding dress will highlight the delicate fairy-tale image of the newlywed.
Asymmetrical dress
The asymmetrical decor of the top part of the wedding dress is an ideal option for brides with small breasts. Designer finds - unusually shaped bows, draperies, cut on the bias - create additional volume for the décolleté area. Flounces and ruffles of various lengths, decorated with rhinestones, beads and embroidery, balance the fluffy part of the bottom of the dress, visually enlarging the bust.
Models with colored inserts look impressive and expressive on those with small busts - draperies, an “irregular” cut of the bodice, feathers or fur give the wedding dress a flashy look, and give its owner desirable centimeters in the décolleté area. Famous couturiers in the 2022 season give preference directly to models with unusual designs, relying on a harmonious combination of the grace of the fragile figure of the bride and large non-standard details of the dress.
Loose fit wedding dress
The loose cut of the bride's dress emphasizes the exquisite nobility of silk fabrics, shimmering satin, and flowing chiffon. The airy fabrics of a Greek-style dress, falling in light waves, cover the neckline from the shoulder and add volume to the slender shape of the newlywed. An elegant cowl collar on a silk dress or mafia style wedding suit subtly and gracefully hides the bride's small breasts. Flowing folds of fabric, playing with sun reflections on an empire style dress, visually increase the girl’s bust by at least one size.
Dress with lace bolero or cape
Capes for a wedding dress that cover part of the chest are relevant not only in the cold season. An airy chiffon cape, decorated with beads, envelops the body in the finest cobweb. A bolero will easily hide not only small breasts, but also too thin arms and shoulders. Long lace capes or boleros look aristocratic , smoothly turning into a train.

Accessories and shoes
A short bride can increase her height with high heels. It is best to use classic pumps, the heel of which is 6-7 cm high. Of course, you can even pay attention to very high stilettos, but you should be sure that the bride will not get tired in them.
Another caveat is that you should not use shoes in contrasting shades. The color of the shoes must completely match the shade of the wedding dress.
Accessories are an important decorative element in any bridal look. But you should immediately put aside curvy and long options, which are in no way suitable for a short girl. It is best to opt for a short or medium length veil made from the most sophisticated material. Such an accessory should be airy and light, without excessive decoration or frills.
Graceful and small earrings and bracelets are suitable as jewelry. Girls do not need to use too massive accessories, and they should not be too zealous in wearing a lot of accessories.
Boat neckline dress
The bodice with a classic wide neckline that runs along the level of the collarbones is suitable for any type of figure, but with a small bust it does not look so elegant. The neckline completely covered with lace looks strict and at the same time impressive .
But the bottom of such a dress could be as follows:
- lush;
- mermaid models;
- direct.
sheath wedding dresses are popular . They are suitable for those who choose a modest image for themselves.

Makeup and hairstyles
Modern stylists offer a variety of makeup options. For brides, subtle makeup is perfect, with the emphasis on the eyes. The main thing is that the tone of the shadows and lipstick suits the girl’s face type.
Petite brides should avoid sleek, flowing hair. It is better for them to have a high hairstyle that opens their neck. Hairstyles with free-flowing curls are also suitable. There is no need to choose too lush and voluminous styling.
Shift dress
Shift dresses are very comfortable. They do not create difficulties in handling numerous rings and do not require wearing a heavy long train.
Straight-cut dresses with a neckline covered with lace inserts often have lace sleeves
They distract attention from the chest and emphasize the grace of the arms . This is a good option for girls with problem skin on the shoulders and chest. Also, such dresses are suitable for weddings, because they look dignified and not at all provocative.

Color spectrum
The shade of the dress should match the color of the wedding, which will create wonderful harmony. The bride can choose both traditional white outfits and colored models, but only with plain fabric.
Petite girls should not use heavy textures, voluminous prints, or horizontal finishing elements. It is better to opt for delicate lace, drapery, embroidery, lacing or translucent inserts. Small matching accessories complete the look.
Wedding dresses for petite brides are made according to a special cut. To visually lengthen the silhouette, you should stick to monochrome; all fabrics and elements of the outfit are created from only one material. Contrasting belts and various eye-catching details are not recommended, as they make the silhouette more mundane. Matte textures without a huge number of decorative elements and sparkles are best suited for creating outfits.
A-line dress
The peculiarity of this outfit is its narrow top and loose hem . The A-line dress gently fits the chest , tapers at the waist and widens towards the hem. Thus, even a figure that is far from ideal begins to look like an hourglass.
It is recommended to choose a bodice without a deep neckline , but its design should not be too simple. The bodice can be decorated with dense hand embroidery, rhinestones, and beads.

Choosing a wedding dress for short girls
Wedding salons offer brides a variety of wedding dresses, but most of them are designed for brides with model height. Choosing a wedding dress for short girls can be very difficult.
If previously petite brides had to sew a custom-made outfit or hem a ready-made one, now the fashion industry offers a wide range of wedding dresses for such brides. Believe me, you can look great if you are below average height. There are even ways by which you can visually add a couple of centimeters.
Fluffy dress with closed bodice and arms
A traditionally fluffy wedding dress will make a girl look like a princess. The top of the dress can be made with lace or chiffon inserts. It should be taken into account that fabrics with complex textures do not require a large number of additional decorations.
It is not recommended to choose revealing, deep necklines for small breasts. It will look completely inharmonious.

Many wedding dress designs do not involve wearing a bra. Therefore, the bodice must be selected strictly in size, it should not dangle . Small breasts also need to be tightly fixed. The outfit should not only be beautiful, but also comfortable. After all, the bride will have to spend the whole day in it.
Peculiarities
Wedding dresses for short girls are selected taking into account the location of the cut lines. Horizontal ones visually thicken the figure, while vertical ones allow you to “lengthen” it.
The main task of miniature brides is to visually lengthen their figure, make it thinner and more expressive. To do this, the small dress must have various vertical elements:
- seam lines that run vertically – a wedding dress for a short one-piece model is especially suitable;
- special folds, tucks;
- vertical inserts (lace stripes and more);
- vertically located accessories, fittings (buttons, lacing).
Even if the outfit contains horizontal lines, there should be very few of them. Wedding dresses for short, thin girls should be very delicate and sophisticated with a maximum predominance of vertical lines.
Particular attention should be paid to the neckline of the outfit. The V-shaped option is considered ideal, which will help visually lengthen the girl’s height.
When thinking about how to choose a wedding dress for a short person, the bride should also take into account where the waist line will be. Cut-off models at the waist should not only have vertical stripes, but also have a cut-off line under the bust. The skirt is sewn from soft fabric, which falls down in vertical folds.
Champagne splash dress
We are already accustomed to seeing a wedding or wedding dress exclusively in white. But there are some other colors that are no less suitable for this formal outfit. Recently, the color “champagne splashes”, ivory or ivory has become very fashionable, which are suitable for both blondes and brunettes.
Fashionable colors
Color plays an important role in choosing a model for mom. Everyone understands that such an outfit cannot be white, so as not to overshadow the bride. And then you can give free rein to your imagination and choose a color that harmonizes with your personal color type, hair or eye color. It’s just not advisable to choose outfits in green and yellow colors; they will look out of place at this celebration.
Blue
Noble and refined color.
It will suit any woman because it has a lot of shades:
- azure;
- royal;
- light;
- cornflower;
- indigo;
- aquamarine.
A woman of the “winter” type can afford royal blue or azure. Aquamarine is better suited for a “spring” woman.
Red
Bright and energetic color is not suitable for all ladies
He attracts attention to himself so much that the mother risks overshadowing the bride. Therefore, for such a celebration it is better to choose a dark red, muted color.
Burgundy
The ideal color for a woman of advanced age. At a wedding, a mother in a burgundy dress will look elegant and noble.
Also a good color for the mother of the bride. It emphasizes femininity, beauty and adds elegance.
Pink
This color is usually chosen by bridesmaids. For his mother he will be naive. But an outfit of muted, pastel pink is possible.
Peach
Not a bad option for the mother of the bride, especially if the woman has a “spring” or “autumn” color type. This color looks noble and gentle.
The ideal color for the hostess of such a celebration. Mom will look noble and feminine.
An excellent option for a plump lady, so as not to be “conspicuous”. Mom looks modest but elegant in this outfit.
Black
It is better not to choose black color for such a celebration, which is considered mourning.
But finishing in this color is quite acceptable, for example, black lace inserts.
Which wedding dress to choose for a short bride?
Small girls often try to add length to their hair by wearing high heels and creating high hairstyles. For them, designers have already developed several features that are designed to shift the emphasis and reveal the advantages of the bride. So, what is best for a short girl?
- Short narrow sleeves.
- Bat-shaped sleeve.

If you want to show off your beautiful shoulders, you can choose small wedding dress sizes that have no sleeves at all. But in this case you will have to carefully select the type of straps. It's better to stay as thin as possible. You can consider options for short girls with only one strap or without them at all. But then you need to have an ideal shoulder line shape.
What should curvy beauties do?
The bride should look perfect at the ceremony. Therefore, girls with a curvy figure need to remember: dresses like princesses are definitely not for them. After all, such models will only emphasize fullness and add extra pounds. Read more about outfits for plus size beauties here.

Of course, it is important to pay attention to your body type. This option is only suitable for hourglasses. The Greek style will decorate a plump bride, hide her tummy, and emphasize her chest line. The top of the outfit can be decorated with lace or embroidery
In addition, the asymmetrical neckline will decorate the décolleté area and make the arms visually thinner.

The bride in a lace dress will appear before her chosen one as an innocent and fragile young lady. Due to decorative inserts, fullness will be hidden, and the waist will appear narrower.
You just need to remember that the dress should not be completely lace: it is permissible for only individual parts to be decorated this way - the sleeves, bodice or hem of the skirt. Choosing a wedding dress is never easy
It is worth approaching this issue with special trepidation and attention, because the solemn moment should be wonderful and memorable for a lifetime
What should not be in a wedding dress
So that your mood is not spoiled at the most crucial moment, we suggest that you immediately set accents on what the style of a wedding dress for short girls should not be.
- Pronounced horizontal lines, drapery in this plane. The figure is visually shortened by any decorative elements located in the waist area. This category also includes outfits with bottoms and tops of different colors.
- Low waistline. This technique can turn even the most beautiful dress into a real disaster. It visually lengthens the body, but radically shortens the legs. This is unacceptable for petite girls.
- Overly long dresses with full skirts. Most girls from a young age dream of a voluminous princess dress, but not everyone can afford it. Length will steal your height, and a bell or flared skirt will make you look squat. In this case, it is better to give preference to minimalism. This means that you will have to exclude frills and flounces.
- Rectangular neckline. It is better for a short girl to avoid it, not only on her wedding day, but also in her everyday wardrobe. It gives the image massiveness and weight. The figure immediately visually gains weight. If you have wide shoulders and appetizing curves, choose dress models with a crew neckline or V-neckline.

I would also like to say something about the floor-length wedding dress. For petite girls, it is acceptable if the style is tight-fitting or completely straight. A slight expansion downwards is acceptable. In this case, you will only visually add a couple of centimeters to yourself.

How to balance proportions
When breasts are large, they add dimension to the overall appearance of your body. Plus, a disproportion is created between the voluminous top and narrow bottom, this is especially noticeable in girls with narrow hips. That is, it turns out to be Chupa Chups on a stick.
In order to balance the top and bottom you need to: visually lengthen the torso, enlarge the pelvis, reduce the chest.
Add volume to the hips very carefully; it should be added by layering light, sheer fabrics or draping. The hem of the dress should not be too fluffy, because a voluminous top and voluminous bottom are a “woman on a teapot” silhouette.
That is, instead of the desired effect, you will get additional unnecessary volume
