Gown shopping pointers


Finding the right dress for your body type, coloring and wedding style is important. For instance, a ballgown has a fitted bodice and a very full, bell shaped skirt. This would not be the best choice for a casual, outdoor wedding.
An A-Line style is cut close to the rib cage but along the body it has a slight flare. This shape creates a smooth, clean, elongated line. If you are looking to appear taller and slimmer, then this is the shape for you.

A sheath style closely follows the curve of the body. It can be crisp and structured or slinky and sexy. These dresses are usually good for destination weddings.

Mermaid or trumpet styles are a type of sheath dress. The skirt flares out at the knee. If you are looking to show off your curves, this is the dress for you.

Then of course, you have the "I just have to have it" gown.
