When your searching for the the perfect wedding dress you will quickly find yourself overwhelmed by choices including long gowns, shorter gowns, strapless, one-shoulder, empire, a-line… the list goes on. You’ll enjoy looking at and trying on all your options, but in the end, you must select one dress. Aside from cost, another important factor is fit and flattery. You want to find a dress that you love and makes you real fabulous. Read below for bridal dress flattery tips.
Enhance Your Favorite Feature
Do you love your arms? Go for a strapless or halter gown! Do you have an hourglass figure? Look for a body-conscious or fitted sheath dress. You’ll radiate a lot of confidence in a wedding gown that accentuates the positive.
Bring The Right Undergarments
The right lingerie and shapewear will make all the difference. If this is your first time trying on wedding dresses, make sure that you’re wearing your most flattering undergarments or a strapless bodysuit. When you do select the right dress, make sure that you wear the same (or better) undergarments to each fitting.
Schedule A Consultation
Most bridal shops require a consultation to meet up and discuss dress options. Use this time to ask questions about figure flattery and what would look best on you. Don’t be afraid to ask about gown alterations as most bridal salons offer this service because they know just how important it is to get the perfect fit.
Decide Your Style
Obviously you’re going to want to select a dress that you’re comfortable in, something that reflects your style and even the wedding. You don’t want to wear a vintage gown in a classic Cape-Cod style beach wedding, nor you you want to wear a ball-gown if your personal taste reflects something different. Before you book the consultation at the bridal salon, buy a few wedding magazines and search for dresses that you could imagine yourself in. Cut out these pictures and turn them into a small scrap book that you can bring to the bridal salon. Its best to to have some kind of image in mind before you actually select the gown.
