    Roz La Kelin, Style "Petal"

    "When you're petite, you generally want to find clothing that has as few 'break-ups' as possible, as they can shorten you even further. Try this glimmering Roz La Kelin sheath if you're 5'3" or under."

    Wtoo, Style 14715

    "Column-shaped brides can pull off this dreamy gown from Wtoo featuring a plunging neckline with a nipped-in waist, which creates definition. I would recommend it for brides who have a C-cup or lower since there isn't enough material to support a large bust."

  • Maggie Sottero, Style "Elka"

    Maggie Sottero, Style "Elka"

    "For brides who are more column-shaped, a soft A-line silhouette can help create the illusion of a narrow waistline, like this Maggie Sottero style. But big busts beware! Dresses with low backs do best with C-cups or below."

    "Architectural taffeta provides stellar support in this fit-and-flare from Wtoo's Curve line. The floral texture on the train adds a feminine touch — great for brides who feel boxy or broad in the shoulders."

  • Callista, Style "Barcelona"

    Callista, Style "Barcelona"

    "This Callista dress has it all: ruching, an A-line silhouette, and gorgeous beading. I would be hard-pressed to find a bride this dress didn't flatter!"

    The number-one piece of advice that Yukia and Yuneisia give to all of their clients is to plan (and budget) for alterations. "A lot of brides don't realize that wedding gowns don't fit like off-the-rack clothes do. Wedding gowns are built according to a size chart that doesn't match up to a bride's measurements perfectly. Alterations are required to nip and smooth them out to create a flawless, tailored look."

  • Callista, Style "London"

    Callista, Style "London"

    "For brides who carry most of their weight on the front of their torsos, a ball gown that nips in at the natural waist is a great option, such as this Callista style. It narrows the smallest part of the body while simultaneously disguising anything beneath the waist."
