Choosing  the  Right Dress 

Many women fall into the pear-shaped category with smaller tops and slightly rounded bottoms. The best wedding dress style for your body shape is a dropped-waist ball gown. These dresses will work like a charm to conceal your rounder bits, while drawing the eye to your upper body. You could opt for a slightly off the shoulder neckline or strapless - but stay clear of V-necks because they'll simply draw the eye downward.

If you have a fuller bust, try to highlight this positive aspect by wearing supportive foundation garment i.e. a corset or good bra. You may also want to balance the silhouette by adding some ruching or extra fabric to your skirt. On your wedding day, you'll want your guests to look at your face, and not a revealing neckline, so perhaps save a low cut neckline for the honeymoon!

If you're tiny, the wedding dress tip for you is to keep it simple for added height. Either an A column sheath or A-line dress would work best for you because they create the illusion of elongation in photographs. Remember that a busy ball gown with lots of fabric and detail may overpower your little frame so keep it simple.

Aren't you a lucky one? Well, as a tall bride you have many options to choose from - full ball gowns, columns, A-line styles - they'll all look great on you! One thing to remember is to avoid a high neckline (it increases height) as well as high hairstyles. But you can go all out on your veil! If you've always wanted a long, dramatic veil, the good news is that you have the ideal body type to pull it off in photographs.

If you're pregnant and already showing, choosing your wedding dress can be a difficult task because you'll have to do some guess work around your size according to your wedding date. The loose fit of an empire waistline will be best for your comfort and pics - this more relaxed silhouette will translate better on camera.

If you have more of a boxy body shape, you should opt for something that will created more of a nipped-in waist for extra shape. Try an empire-waisted or perhaps a basque-waisted gown for added shape through its V dip. You could also consider wearing a supportive corset that will help shape your silhouette for photographs as well.
