Few stories about horrible bridesmaid dresses have been floating around. You probably have read such tales. As a bride, it is then part of your numerous duties to make sure that the bridesmaid dresses are anything but horrible. Yes, in the wedding planning, your primary concern should be wedding dresses (petite or plus size wedding dresses). But given that your bridesmaids are among your closest girlfriends, you should make sure as well that you have devoted enough time in choosing those bridesmaid dresses.

So, how do you choose bridesmaid dresses? Here are a few pointers:

All About Color

Sometimes, the trickiest part of choosing bridesmaid dresses is the color. Although usually this is aligned with the motif, sometimes, the chosen color is not really that stunning when made as dresses. So, to prevent becoming part of the statistics in “ugly bridesmaid dresses,” give the selection process some thought.

If your wedding is a very formal event, you could always go with black bridesmaid dresses. Black is a very elegant color and it looks good on anyone. Moreover, it is flattering, regardless of the cut of the gown. It is also very slimming, so your bridesmaids won’t worry about their extra “curves.”

All About Comfort

Comfort is perhaps the most important factor to consider when choosing bridesmaid dresses. You have to make sure that your bridesmaids will be comfortable wearing these gowns. Otherwise, regardless of the design and the color of the gowns, these dresses will always look awkward on the other beautiful single ladies in your wedding party.

Comfort does not refer to style – tube, spaghetti-straps, haltered. After all, ladies today are comfortable wearing those styles. Instead, this refers to the fitting of the gown. Too tight or too loose isn’t only horrible to the eyes, but it is also stressful to the wearer.

This fact then calls for tailored fit bridesmaid dresses. Go for perfect fit – and length. That way, your bridesmaids would have nothing to worry about besides looking radiant as they walk down the aisle.

All About the Season

It is also a great idea if you let your bridesmaids dress for the season. Wedding experts recommend darker shades of gown if you are getting married on a cool season. Otherwise, go for lighter shades. For a summer wedding, for instance, choose bridesmaid dresses that are on the champagne shade. You could even go towards the white family. Not only will your bridesmaids look neat on these, but they will also feel cool and comfortable.

Indeed, it is your wedding and it will ultimately be your decision. You are still the one person that can give the go signal on which color or design to choose for the bridesmaid dresses. Still, it does not hurt to consider the side of your bridesmaids. It does not hurt to ask their thoughts and consider their preferences. You may not be able to please all of them, but at least you tried. After all, they are among your closest friends and family members and they certainly deserve fabulous bridesmaid dresses!

Empire Style Wedding Dresses

The Empire Line Wedding Dress has a short bodice with a narrow skirt usually with a square neckline and sleeves. A very versatile style which creates a flattering elongated effect the Empire cut wedding dress will also appear to lengthen your legs and make you look slimmer and taller. Women with larger builds can wear an Empire line to good effect.

The Empire Style is very versatile and is usually floor length. The height of the waistline is the major feature of the empire line wedding dress and it is the other design elements that change the overall look of the dress. If you are having a winter wedding you could have long bell sleeves, but if you’re planning a beach wedding tiny short sleeves are perfect. Skirt style is important on the empire cut, and the cut and the fabric will depend on the silhouette you want to create.

Lighter fabrics are best for the empire style as they drape and flow to create a romantic effect. Light weight silk tiered so that it gently overlaps in the front, create a romantic gentle effect. An empire style is also perfect for pairing two different fabrics such as a lace bodice with a simple satin skirt.

The empire style is especially suited for you if you have a small bust as it draws attention to the neckline and creates definition. Design detail such as ruching or lace will give you the illusion of a fuller bust.

The traditionally square neckline of the empire dress can also minimise a large bust. While other neckline accentuate breast definition, the square cut modestly covers larger breasts.

Things to Consider:

The design of the empire dress is ideal for covering a multitude of sins as the dress flows from the bust line. An empire dress is also ideal for pregnant brides as the looser skirt can accommodate your growing tummy.

Best Figure Type:

Strangely empire wedding dresses are flattering to the fuller figure as well as those with a smaller bust. If you have a fuller figure avoid ruching or ruffles on the bodice. A good bra and some emphasis on the bodice rather than the skirt will enhance the smaller bust.

Fabrics to use:

Crepe, chiffon, satin, silk velvet all fall beautifully for an empire wedding dress, avoid very thick fabrics such as damask.

Plus Size Wedding Dresses can be just as beautiful as any other wedding dress.

Are you dreading the whole “dress shopping” experience because you think you won’t find the type of dress you are dreaming of in your size? We shouldn’t have to feel like we don’t deserve our dream dress just because we are big. We want the same as every other bride wants on her wedding day, to feel beautiful, to feel like a princess, and we all have the right to feel that way on our wedding day, regardless of our size. Read on for help in finding your dream wedding gown.

Just because you’re not super slim doesn’t mean you can’t have the perfect wedding dress.

Very few women have the body of a supermodel. Few of us even are a perfect size. We all have some areas that don’t fit the into the ‘perfect’ ideal. You can still look as wonderful in the same gorgeous gowns as slimmer women.

The secret is: MAKE SURE YOUR WEDDING DRESS FITS!

Forget sizes and measurements, they are just labels. Remember the Duchess of York on her wedding day?

She looked fabulous-

because her dress fitted not because she had lost a heap of weight.

If you choose the right wedding dress and silhouette you can look fabulous no matter what size you are.

Perhaps a strapless gown to show off creamy shoulders, or if you are curvy a Mermaid style wedding dress.

Draw the eye to your most striking features.

* Low necklines and bare shoulders if you have a good bust, (an added bonus being that it will make your face appear longer and slimmer).

* Wearing your hair up will show off a smooth neck.

* If you have a lovely complexion focus on your face and choose a simpler gown maybe with an empire waist, as it’s the most flattering to a woman’s silhouette.

Empire line wedding dresses are a good choice for most women as the style elongates the body, drawing attention to the bust-line and making you look slimmer and taller.

Pay attention to the type of fabric you use. A stiff fabric in some styles may not flatter you but in a simple fitted style can be very slimming.

Regardless of the dress style you choose for your wedding dress, the following tips in mind will help ensure you have the most beautiful shape possible:

Buy a dress that fits.

* This ensures the dress will fall correctly and won’t pull and crease, and accentuate the “not-so-perfect” areas. See our How to take Your Wedding Dress Measurements article for a fool proof way to take your vital statistics correctly.

* Wear appropriate lingerie. Who wants a panty line in the wedding photos!

* Make sure your bra is the correct size. Free fitting is available at many department stores.

* Long line bras and Body Shapers help trim your silhouette.

* Less is sometimes more. Don’t overdo the lace and ruffles.

*A simple shape is the best for a streamlined silhouette. A line, Empire style and Column style all have a slimming effect.

* A full Ball gown style will emphasise a small waist and hide broad hips – this style will also balance out a small bust if you emphasise the bodice with brocade or lace.

*Be aware of the horizontal design features. Where the waist line sits, the hem length, does a short sleeve finish at the bust line? Never have a horizontal feature at your widest part… for instance

* Do not have a dropped waistline if you have broad hips,

* Don’t have the hemline at the widest part of your calf -go shorter or longer for a slimming effect.

*Colour is also very important. Dark colours can be more slimming than pastels or bright colours, but is just as important to wear a colour that suits you. It may be worth having a personal colour chart done for even if you never use it again.

Wanda Arnold’s website  www.weddingsdresses.tvwill help you find your dream wedding dress and buy it online. Our video will show you How to Take Your Measurements in a few easy steps. Explanations of different figure types to help you choose your perfect bridal gown. You can read site reviews and link to online Bridal Stores.

Your Perfect Wedding Gown depends on your figure type.

Choosing the style for your wedding dress can be a nightmare. If you know you what suits your body type, you will find it much easier to choose the most flattering wedding dress. The fit of your wedding dress is always more important than the size. You can easily disguise figure faults with just a few simple tricks.

There are many different figure types, no particular shape is good or bad. Here are a some of the basic types along with some advice about the style of wedding dress that will flatter you best. The number one rule for all body types is BUY A DRESS THAT FITS. Don’t buy a size smaller than you are in the hope it will make you look slimmer.

It won’t.

Pear-shaped A classic pear shape is slim on top with a proportionally large bottom.

DO TRY: A Ball gown wedding dress with a Basque waistline and an off-the-shoulder neckline will bring your bottom half into proportion with you top half. Empire line dresses are ideal for your body shape, as the emphasis is on your top half and a flared skirt will help disguise your hips. A well fitted A Line or princess line will slim down a rounded figure, and hide wide hips.

DON’T WEAR: Avoid very clingy fabrics for your wedding dress. The Column style can be unflattering and is best avoided.

Hourglass Figure You have the classic hourglass figure. What can go wrong?

DO TRY: A bustier, you can wear a corseted or laced one with a narrow close-fitting skirt for an elegant look or a full skirt for a full on princess effect. A Ball gown wedding dress would be perfect. The Mermaid style is another style for you if you really want to show off your figure.

DON’T WEAR: Don’t overfit your waist area, it will have the effect of making your hips look bigger. Don’t wear anything too tight. Well fitting is always more flattering than tight.

Busty Your bust is a size or more larger than your hips.

DO TRY: Invest in a good bra to make the most of what you have. (See our wedding lingerie page) Alternatively you can go with a minimiser bra to help balance your figure. A well fitted off-the-shoulder bodice will suit you worn with full skirt to emphasise your waist. A square cut Empire line wedding dress can minimise you bust also.

DON’T WEAR: A skirt that is too short it will make you look top heavy. Avoid frills and ruching in the bodice. Forget bustiers with too much detail a well fitted simple bustier is more flattering.

Athletic Your body is athletic, with a small bust and undefined waist.

DO TRY: For elegance long smooth lines such as a floor length Column dress or an Empire line. If you want to add curves try a Ball gown style. The Mermaid wedding dress is flattering and can also provide the illusion of having curves if you have a leaner figure.

DON’T WEAR: Lots of frills and lace. Concentrate more on elegant lines that show off your slim silhouette. Plunging necklines are not best suited to small busts. very clingy fabrics will accentuate your lack of curves.

Thin

DO TRY: A Ball gown will suit you wonderfully. An Empire line will enhance a small bust. The Mermaid wedding dress is flattering and can also provide the illusion of having curves if you have a leaner figure. The Column wedding dress style is ideal for tall and thin brides who want a simple and sleek appearance.

DON’T WEAR: Avoid off the shoulder or halternecks if you feel you collarbones stick out too much.

Voluptuous

DO TRY: A well fitted A Line or princess line will slim down a rounded figure, and hide wide hips. If you have the confidence the Mermaid style is sensational. Make sure your lingerie is a proper fit.

DON’T WEAR: Very clingy fabrics will show up more than you want. Choose a strapless style rather than very thin straps.

Petite

DO TRY: It’s best to keep it simple. A Column-like sheath or A Line dress will work – these shapes create a long interrupted line. Stick to open, sexier necklines ( think strapless and of-the-shoulder styles,) both of which work beautifully for you.

DON’T WEAR: A huge voluminous wedding dress, you will look lost inside it. If you want a Ball gown consider a slightly shorter length, just above the ankle.

Tall

DO TRY: The Column style and the Mermaid are made for you. If you are slim the Ball gown is also flattering.

DON’T WEAR: A floor length wedding gown with a high neck line. The A Line dress can be very elongating and the Empire line can make your proportions look unbalanced.

Remember, a well fitting wedding dress is always more flattering than one that is too tight. We have a free video showing you exactly How to Take Your Measurements accurately. Remember, it is always possible to adjust a wedding dress to make it smaller but not always possible to let it out.

How do you take measurements for your wedding dress?

If you are buying your wedding dress online you need to take your measurements accurately. You don’t need to be a dress maker to measure yourself but you will need a friend to help. Follow these few easy steps and you will have professional standard measurements in no time.

There are many different size charts available but it’s best to ignore them when ordering your wedding dress online. Watch our FREE video  How to take Your Wedding Dress Measurements for  full step by step video instructions and fill out your Personal Measurement Chart before taking your measurements and ordering your wedding dress.

Don’t worry about the numbers. The worst thing you can do is wear a dress that is too tight. A properly fitting dress is always more flattering than one you squeeze into for the sake of a size label.

1. Get a friend to take the measurements for you, it isn’t possible to do it accurately by yourself.
2. Don’t pull the tape measure too tight- it should rest lightly on your body.
3. Make sure you use inches OR centimetres not a mixture of both.
4. Write each measurement down as you take it
5. Once you have taken your measurements start again and check each one.

TO START MEASUREMENTS

Stand up straight with equal weight on both feet and arms resting easily at sides. Look straight ahead of you.

BUST

If you haven’t got your wedding lingerie yet wear a bra and panties that are similar to the style you will wear. Your bust should be measured at the fullest part while you stand straight with your arms at your sides.

WAIST

Tie a string lightly around your waist it will naturally settle at your waistline. Measure your waist where the string sits.

HIP

Measure 8-10″ below the waist to find the fullest hip. Measure the fullest part of the hip, keeping the tape measure parallel to the floor.

LENGTH

Dress length is taken from the knob at the back of the neck to the bottom of the hem. Back length is from the knob at the back of your neck to the string around your waist. Skirt lengths without waistbands are taken from natural waist at the centre back to the bottom of the hem. Skirt lengths with waistbands are taken from the centre back, starting at the bottom of the waistband to the bottom of the hem.

Fabrics for Wedding Dresses

The style of your wedding dress will determine which fabric you choose. Choosing the right fabric can be the difference between a fabulous wedding dress that flatters you and a wedding dress that just doesn’t look right. Some wedding dresses look fabulous in one type of fabric but will just not look right in another. If your wedding dress fits well and is made of the right fabric it will look like a million dollars even if it costs a fraction of the price.

The overall appearance of a wedding gown is made up of many factors. The fabric chosen can make a dramatic difference to your wedding dress. Fabrics all have different qualities that effect the drape, and cut of a wedding gown. Some fabrics hug the body, and give a soft silhouette while others may have more body and are suited to a more tailored design.

Silk fabrics are undoubtedly the most desired and cherished for wedding gowns, and have lustre and luxury. Satin, duchesse satin, charmeuse, shantung, chiffon, organza all can be woven from silk but will behave very differently. All of these fabrics can be made of other fibres, such as polyester or nylon and will have similar properties at a more affordable price.

Prom time is the most exciting date on a young girl’s calendar. The prom ushers a young girl’s coming of age and she must at all cost look the best belle in the ball. She must have the best of the evening dresses, stunning accessories, and a rented limousine to take her to the ball.

Don’t Go Overboard

Too excited for their first ball, young girls are easily carried away with visions of themselves in sexy slinky gowns. Fine. But if you are only 17 you still have to observe decorum in dress. Baring yourself like a pole dancer wouldn’t speak well of you; instead of getting admiring glances going in your direction, you earn snide remarks and rolling eyes from your teachers.

Dress like royalty. Simple lines but luxurious fabrics spell CLASS in evening dresses. You can wear a halter top sequined dress, a divine backless little black dress, or a flaming red sheath. In short, observe the school’s dress code for the prom. To add drama to your outfit, accessorize. Ask your mom to help you match or complement your dress with accessories – jewelry, shoes, and bag.

There are stunning evening dresses at bridal salons, which you can rent or purchase. Big names in design like Alfred Sung, Jasmine Collections, After Six, Mari Lee, Aglaia, and J. Valentina are among the designer dresses available in these shops. You can browse the selections online and visit the shop if you find something interesting. If you need accessories, the shop carries several adorable blings that would stop your friends in their track.

Don’t Be a Clone

Stand out on prom night; don’t go for the same run-of-the-mill evening dresses. To get more ideas for your prom dress, start looking around three months before the prom. Get the latest issues of magazines, and keep an eye on red carpet events just to get an idea for your evening dress. Clip pictures of the dress you like and show it to the sales clerk or have it copied by your seamstress.

Do make a mental note of the hairstyle, shoes, and accessories that went with the dress so you can reinvent yourself on the big night. This will also save you time wondering what accessories would go with your evening dress. But do try on different styled dresses to find which suits and flatters your body type and make it a point that you try on evening dresses within your budget range.

Before Prom Night

When you have found your dream dress, buy it 2 weeks before the prom. If you buy the dress months in advance, you might gain or lose weight because of the stress thinking about the Prom. Who wouldn’t stop thinking of the big night? During the week of the prom, try on your dress, shoes, and accessories. Practice walking in your high-heeled shoes and check how you carry yourself in that dress.

If you think the shoes does not go well with the dress, you still have time to buy another pair and some stuff for the prom. If mom can afford it, have a hair and make-up session at the local beauty salon just to have a look and feel of your Prom look. Sure, go ahead and click away with the camera so you can observe yourself in different angles, the way your friends can see you so when prom night arrives, you are confident of your looks. If you are raring for Prom Night, start looking at evening dresses. The earlier you start looking, the more ideas you’ll get for your prom dress.

Have you ever heard about the comment: why do women need too many pairs of shoes? Well, the truth is, women are in love with shoes and come hell or high water, they will certainly buy loads of shoes throughout their lifetime. After all, shoes should be matched with outfits, and different occasions call for different styles. Evening dresses, for instance, should need those immaculate Jimmy Choo’s, and not the comfortable Nike’s. Be that as it may, it is rational to say that women certainly need too many pairs of shoes.

Women are also about social gatherings – weddings, proms, company parties, important dinners. What comes next after finding the perfect gown is the perfect pair of shoes. Therefore, after choosing one from a handful of wedding dresses, a lady should choose the perfect heels.

So, how exactly should you choose the pair of shoes that’s perfect for your gown? How do you mix and match shoes and evening dresses?

Color

To know which shoes to wear, ask yourself first: do you want to match the color of your dress or would you like contrast? If you want to be all-matching, then choosing your shoes is simple. Gold evening dresses with gold heels, little black dresses with black stilettos.

But if you want to go for contrast, you can always play with colors. Nowadays, you usually see ladies wearing black evening dresses and pairing them with delicious red shoes! That is a sight to behold.

Another option for you is to match the color of your shoes with the color of your handbag.

Style

Choosing the style of your shoes is also sometimes a difficult task. A little guide for you would be to choose a pair that complements the embellishments in your dress. For instance, if yours is one of those evening dresses that are accented with rhinestones, then choose a pair of shoes that have similar decoration.

Also, if your gown is made of flowing, silk material, then strappy sandals are ideal. On the other hand, if it is made of heavy silk, then leather pumps or velvet shoes would fit them perfectly.

Height

How high should you go when it comes to heels? Well, it all depends. First, it depends on the length of your evening dress. A 5-inch stiletto would be ideal if you’re all about sweeping evening gowns. But the same heel height won’t be ideal if your date is not that tall. After all, our society smiles if between a couple, the guy is taller than the woman.

When attending weddings, it might not be a very good idea to wear super high heels – else you risk tripping and ruining the wedding decoration – Toronto or elsewhere.

Comfort Above anything else, comfort should be your main gauge when choosing the perfect shoes. Regardless of the beauty of a pair of stilettos, but if you are not comfortable being in it, then you would look scrappy. Uncomfortable shoes would look awkward on you.

Therefore, in matching evening dresses and shoes, make sure to consider comfort. It is the number rule in shoe-selection.

Whether you are going to a prom dress, a cocktail party, a wedding dress, or simply going out with your long-time crush, you need to be on the appropriate outfit. A first date can go a long way if have wowed your guy with a sexy but equally respectful cocktail dress. Who knows, after the success of that date, you are already on your way to shopping for bridesmaid dresses (you are not the bridesmaid, of course, but the bride!)

Thus, in choosing your evening dresses, you need to find the style appropriate for the occasion, or your mood. You need to get a bridesmaid dress – and not some slutty disco dress – if you are the bridesmaid. You need to dress appropriately, so to speak.

Here are a few styles that you can choose from the next time that you go shopping for evening dresses:

The Bias Cut It’s not certain where the term came from but indeed, bias cut evening dresses have some bias. They are biased to those who have the right curves and the perfect body! The fabric is cut diagonally so that it literally hugs your curves. So if you are preparing for an ultra-sexy night, choose this style of dress.

A few notes, however. With bias cut evening dresses, you can’t wear much underneath. Yes, bra straps and panty lines become visible and they may just be an expensive distraction to your sexy, siren-y entrance. So if you decide to get sex with the bias cut, make sure that you can go all the way sexy!

The Basque Waist Also known as the low U or dropped V waist, this style is great for almost any body type. The v-shaped waist provides an illusion of length. This is also great in flattering your well-defined waist. If you are petite, then this style will help you get a fuller figure.

The Mermaid Just like the bias cut, evening dresses of mermaid cut are great for showing off those curvy curves! This gown is fitted from the bodice all the way to the thighs and it “bells” around the knees.

Just a couple of precautions when wearing a mermaid cut. First, make sure that the fit is right as you may have difficulty sitting down when in this style of dress. Second, avoid this type if you are bottom-heavy as your wide hips will really be emphasized.

The Ballerina Dress Evening dresses in ballerina cut are not supposed to be worn on simple dates. Otherwise, your date will think that you’re running late for a ball! This style is literally “big” as it features a full skirt. This is best if you are heavy-busted since the volume of the skirt will balance your top figure.

This style of dress is considered to be one of the most romantic, thus, this is ideal for formal occasions where love and romance is in the air.

Men would not understand why women spend a considerable amount of time searching for a single dress. Don’t attempt to let them understand. Let them be. Just surprise them at how certain styles of evening dresses will give you different fabulous looks. Your point is not in making men distinguish an A-line from an Empire cut. Instead, you purpose is to let their jaw drop at the sight of you and your fabulous evening gown!

BestForBride.com is not only for the brides. It’s also for bridesmaids searching for the perfect bridesmaid dresses. It’s also for wedding guests looking for fabulous evening dresses. Whether your problem is your wedding dress or your bridesmaid dress, the site has a solution to that.
