data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading13022_3b4d14-5a\">Even if the dress is altered to fit your petite frame, most bridal gowns will not be as flattering or stylish as the original design on a taller bride.&nbsp;That\u2019s because the length isn\u2019t the only thing that matters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Designing wedding dresses for petite women is not the same as designing for regular sizes.&nbsp;Because the ratios of various measurements are different for petite frames, altering a regular sized dress to fit a petite bride almost never produces the proper fit, even with expensive designer dresses.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading13022_bddc52-33, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading13022_bddc52-33[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading13022_bddc52-33\"]{margin-bottom:40px;font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading13022_bddc52-33

To look flattering a-line styles need to have the perfect ratio.

If you\u2019re looking for something other than a classic bridal gown for your wedding day, short wedding dresses can work quite well, especially on smaller budget or in an intimate setting.
