Comfort is another factor that shouldn t be ignored.
A bride will be in her gown for six or seven hours, so it shouldn t be too tight, itchy, or stiff. A sleek, shape-skimming gown is actually the most flattering. The same rule applies for a very petite bride because too many bells and whistles leaves her looking like she s playing dress-up. To elongate the torso, try a gown with waist details that fall below the belly button. Brides also are reminded to schedule their final fitting a few days before the wedding because many women lose or gain weight just before the big day.
