COMMONLY ASKED QUESTION:
Q: I heard that my wedding dress size will be larger than my pant and shirt size. How do I know what size I really am?
Hourglass Body Type - If your bust and hips are approximately the same measurement and your waist is smaller than either of these by at least four inches then you are an hourglass shape. This classic old-Hollywood shape can wear any style of dress as most styles are flattering. The mermaid though will really highlight your curves and you'll even be able to pull off a sheeth.
Pear Body Type - If your hips are larger than your bust then you have a pear shape. Many women fall under this category! An a-line dress is the most flattering because it is full in teh skirt, hiding the bigger higs on the bootm.
Round or Square Body Type - If all your measurements are similar then you are a square or round body type. To add definition and the appearance of an hour glass shape you'll want to select dresses with gathers or other details on the hips and bust.
If you are short and petite (5'4" and under) - Look for salons which carry petite sized dresses. To create an illusion of height you will want a dress with seams or lace which run up and down lengthwise. You may want to consider a high neckline, A-line, Empire or Princess silhouettes, small collars and cuffs, short sleeves or sleeveless with long gloves.
If you are tall and slender (5'9" plus) - You will want to look for dresses with trims and wrap completely around the gown and veil, wide midriffs and sashes, large collars, big cuffs, raglan or butterfly sleeves, flared or tiered skirts and low necklines.
If you have a very slender midriff and waist - Accentuate your features with a dress featuring a well defined midriff, a gathered or pleated skirt and a natural or sashed waistline.
If you have narrow shoulders - Drape them with cape collars. Accentuate them with sleeves that gather at the top, necklines that are bare or widely curved and shoulder pads built in the dress.
