＼MISS WEDDING Explains ／ 7 Dresses That Look Perfect on 156cm Brides

One of the features in this magazine is based on the actual voices from future brides that reached out to our editorial team, asking, "Are there any dresses that suit someone as short as me?"

The trendy import dresses are elegant and stylish, but they can be quite challenging for shorter Japanese women compared to the average height overseas.
