Dress for your shape

Being stylish is for everyone

It doesn't matter what size or shape you are, there's a wedding gown to suit you — we promise!

	Sheath Sheaths are usually the sexiest wedding dresses, as they closely follow the line of the body. For best effect, sheaths come in flowing fabrics like jersey, silk, georgette and crepe.. A sheath dress is for you if: You're thin and/or tall, although thin straps are best avoided if you have bony shoulders or collarbone. You're petite and well-proportioned. The simple lines will lengthen your body. Skip this style if: You're full-figured. It will cling to full tummies. You're short-waisted or pear-shaped. It will widen the lower part of your body.
	Princess/A-line The most flattering silhouette for most body types, the princess-style gown (known also as A-line) features vertical seams flowing from the shoulders or under the bustline down to a flared skirt. Princess/A-line is for you if: You're petite, short or short-waisted. The vertical lines will elongate your figure. If you love your shoulders, go with a halterneck or off-the-shoulder design. To appear taller, choose detailing above the waist to draw the eye up. Skip this style if: You're full-breasted. Choose a scooped or V-shaped neckline in order to lengthen the neck. Avoid unsupportive spaghetti straps and plunging necklines that accentuate your cleavage.
	Empire The high waist (just under the bustline) is the signature of the empire dress, although the skirt can be A-line or slimline. The gown can be strapless, however, long sleeves will give you a more formal or medieval look. An empire dress is for you if: You're short, full-hipped and/or thick-waisted. The high waist will disguise your lower body. You have a small bust. The snug fit will make your breasts seem fuller. You're pregnant, and need room to move (and grow). Skip this style if: You're big-breasted. You have a generous figure. It may disguise a few bumps but won't necessarily flatter your good points.
