The prospect of wedding dress shopping can be a dunting. Most of us are at home in casual clothes and it is difficult to work out the right dress for you from the huge array of designs, shapes and fabrics available. And that dress that you love in the publicity shot, just might not suit your shape.
So for the uninitiated here is a quick guide to the basic shapes of bridal gowns and some tips on what shape typically suits each body shapes. But do remember there are no hard and fast rules. Be prepared to try on dresses outside your comfort zone; you might just surprise yourself!
Most wedding dresses will have bust cups already sewn into the gown, so unless you are very busty you are unlikely to need to wear a bra with your bridal gown. The seamstress can move cups to ensure perfect positioning and can change cups to suit your size, as required. And no bra allows you to enjoy a beautiful back to your gown with no unslightly straps!
