Wedding Dress Shopping Part 2


As promised, here are a few more tips on wedding dress shopping.


Petite/Slender Body Types

· Dresses with corsets are another terrific option to showcasing your waist and/or hourglass figure. If you would like some “frontal” enhancement, check out Sassybax Very Bare Backless Self-Adhesive bra as it will stay for hours, but is still easily removable and pain-free.

· Whether bedazzled or plain, an a-line cut dress is another must-try shape for this body type.

Curvy/Pear Body Types

· Look like a princess and try-on a ball gown dress. Depending on the designer, many times sleeves can be added to a silhouette, so make sure and ask.

· Try a dress with a slight off the shoulder strap to draw the eyes up as well as to feature the neck and shoulders.

General Tips

· Do not be afraid to try a shape that you may not have considered before heading into a bridal salon. While bridal salons love when brides bring in pictures, be open to suggestions as well.

· Alterations are extremely important to fit, so make sure and select an experienced seamstress. I have heard horror story after horror story about wedding dresses gone wrong, so do your homework.

· If you budget allows it, check out custom design options and treat yourself to a one-of-a-kind masterpiece.


No matter what your body type, there is a perfect wedding dress out there for you. So, go shopping and let the fun begin.
