Hi Lilly,

The ball gown or mermaid dress both work very well with an hourglass figure—in fact, almost every style looks great on an hour glass figure. Some ball gowns are REALLY big on the bottom, and others are “normal”. When you try it on you will know. Choose one that makes you look and feel great. If you aren’t sure, invite a friend or relative with great taste in clothing to come along with you to help you shop.

Good luck and congratulations on you upcoming wedding,

Angela Fiebelkorn, Wedding Planner

Hi,

You buy the size that fits the largest part of you, and then have the clothing altered everywhere else. Show off your bust! Many women would kill for a great bust. I suggest you try on a mermaid style—although the top might be strapless, the flare at the bottom will balance you. Good luck.

Hi,
You want an A-line dress. It smooths out the bumps and gives a long lean look. Depending upon your stomach area, you might consider an empire waist—try on a few dresses to see how you like it. Although many brides go for the bare arm look there are many dresses that have sleeves as well as little lace bolero jackets. Look around, and find something you are comfortable with. Enjoy!

Hi,

Your body shape is proportional, so you really can wear any style wedding dress. The only way you will know for sure is to try it on. If you want to avoid looking taller, I would suggest you stay away from an empire waist and stick to a regular or dropped waist to cut the visual line of your height. Enjoy!

Actually, your height and weight is not important when choosing a wedding gown—I need to know your body shape. Based on the above article, what shape are you? It is your proportions and how you carry the weight on your body that is important in deciding the style of gown or dress.

Do you want to have a wedding gown, and then an evening gown for the reception?
