"If you're a shorter person, look for scale, scale is very important. A dress like this or a suit like this, with a shorter jacket, can make a shorter person, look longer, it makes your legs look longer. If you're tall, 5'9 or 5'10, you can get away with the longer jacket, that may come down to mid-thigh but if you're shorter, a short jacket really works a lot better. This is a really nice line except you have to be a little careful, you don't want to put all this glitter right across the very wide part of your body. This is a little better from someone that has a wider hip line. Line of dresses is really important, we're seeing a lot of dresses, right now, with the horizontal pleading and gathering or rousing and this gives everybody a waist, I promise. You put one of these on, in your size, and you will create that curve in the body, that we all want to have, a waist. If you are looking for something, maybe champagne, bisque or dark ivory, those kinds of colors, if you're a little flexible, most often we can find things like that, hanging in stock and we do have the capability of checking with a couple of companies, on-line, so we can tell you, right then, if your size and color are available. It's a nice thing to have available and many full service, bridal shops, will have that."
