As a petite person, a skilled dressmaker/seamstress (bonus points if they're also petite, so they can relate to the pain 😂) is always worth the investment, especially for big events like weddings. Like you said in the video, it's important to see the proportion of the dress. I didn't wear a 'traditional' wedding dress when I got married, but for my brother's wedding, I had a custom-made mermaid dress. Now if I'd chosen the standard proportions, it would've looked off. So I requested my 'tail' to start around the middle of my thighs instead of my knees, and it worked really well. Now, I can alter clothes on my own, and I always, always go for the shoulders and take like 5cm in. The amount of wonders it does to my body is game changing.
