I'm pretty short at 5'2" and pretty slender (92 lbs). My measurements are 32a-25-32. I've looked around to see what looks best on a body type like that but they all seem to have slender and petite separate (not many petite/slender)... I've tried thinking of combining them, but for example, with petite it seems they say to show off your legs to make you look taller but I don't know how good that would look with legs that are relatively thin. Suggestions?

Haha, Jordan. I hear that all the time. My family is naturally thin until they're around 30. My brother is more anorexic looking than I am, being 6'4" and 135 lbs.

Hi Sora
You have pretty much the exact measurements as me only im 1 inch shorter!
Like you im just naturally that petite. Im in my twenties and people often think im younger due to being small.
I dont find many dresses tend to suit me. However the sort I find that does are halter neck dresses. Wear them with a halter gel or pludge bra for cleavage it loks cute. Halter styles are great for small petite shapes as it balances our shoulders and also makes our bust look a lot bigger so thats always a good thing!
Knee lenghth or mini looks best. If you have slim legs show them off is what I think!
As for other clothes. Tight fitting hipster style jeans look good. slightly flared/boot cut at the foot to hang nicely over a pair of heels - it makes your legs look so much longer than they are.
I noticed someone mentioned wearing pinstrips was a good idea. Its true this will make your legs appear longer but from expereince when ive tried them in the past they also make your legs look skinner due to the downward strips so id say best stay away from pinstripes!
Always wear clothes that are well fitted and show off your petite shape - anything baggy just drowns us and does us no favors.
Have fun!

Showing off your legs does seem to make you taller. The only down fall is if you have rather slender legs. The only suggestion I have for slender legs is to work out. Though sometimes slender legs are better it just depends. You could possibly wear heels if you feel your height is an issue.

on an identical time as the A-line could be seen oftentimes "greater effective" on your physique form, you could undergo in ideas that the gown does not placed on you, YOU placed on the gown. the 1st one is tremendously undeniable and easy. If it is your type, then it quite is astonishing... yet once you like the 2nd's type and element greater effective, then probability is that the 2nd will make you experience greater particular and which will completely translate on your wedding ceremony day. although, once you're thoroughly self-wide awake approximately your curves or your tummy, then the 2nd does no longer be for you... it quite does not furnish lots interior the way of physique camouflage. on an identical time because it quite is super to bypass right into a boutique with photos and suggestions of what you like, you quite could attempt on samples earlier narrowing it right down to a minimum of one gown. something that seems appealing on the internet website can finally end up looking hideous on you... Likewise, something that seems terrible interior the catalog ought to finally finally end up being unquestionably desirable on you. i might say attempt them on. See how each and every physique fits YOU. you do not have the comparable physique that the mannequins and fashions do. you comprehend what areas of your physique you opt to coach off and which you'd fairly no longer draw interest to. quickly measurements, on an identical time as efficient, won't be able to evaluate to certainly seeing the gown on your self.

i would do something that does show off ur legs a little bit, but wear it kind of tight up top and then fall into an a-line.

first of all i have to say.. youre body is very proportionate!
all i can suggest is keep trying on dresses. just stay away from anything too tight because itll make youre boobs look smaller.
good luck!

Pinstripes are great
