Dress Style

Hi,

Would anyone be able to advise what style of dress I should be looking for?

I am 5.2" and slim but curvy, I am relatively big busted.

I have been told to avoid a ball gown type dress, as it will make me look short and dumpy!

Thanks.

If you'd like to show off your curves and what you've been blessed with, go with a mermaid wedding dress.
This style is usually form fitting, and will hug every curve of the woman's body.

Or, you can go with an A-LINE dress - which looks great on almost every body shape.
It is true, AVOID ballgowns and cinderella-type dresses - those WILL make you look very short.

Good luck!

Hi,

I have attached a couple of photo's, would this style be any good for my height?

I find that halter neck tops are good for my shape!

The dress looks very pretty on you and flatters your body shape.
