Know what your dressmaker is talking about – and know what's going to make you look like a goddess.
Dress shapes
Speak out if your body type won't be flattered by the dress you've wanted since you were two. Designers can be geniuses when it comes to finding the compromise that makes your dream come true – without giving you a Miss Piggy silhouette.
A-line (a.k.a the Princess shape)
The top of the dress blends into a skirt, flaring from the waist to create a long, lean silhouette.
Yay! Looks great on hour-glass figures, fuller figures, short-waisted and petite figures.
Ball gown
This silhouette has a much fuller skirt than the A-line, with a distinctly separate bodice.
Yay! Tall and thin body types.
Maybe not Hour-glass figures may look disproportionate.
Oops Short-waisted or petite girls are likely to be overwhelmed by this shape.
Sheath (or Mermaid)
These dresses follow the line of your body.
Yay! Petite or tall and thin
Oops Fuller figures, short-waists and pear-shaped bodies have all their faults emphasized.
