I'm 5ft 1, but got some good advice from a bridal shop in dublin- I have a small frame and am short from my chest to my waist. I was looking at dresses with a bodice and skirt and the attendant advised to get something with a short bodice that cuts above the hips. It looks much better, because I looked compeletly swamped in other dresses, they weren't flattering at all! Just go to normal shops and try on loads of dresses. I eventually got a dress off the rack on sale that just needs to be taken up. Lucky!
