While taking into consideration how each attendant feels about her own body image, Graham said designers fashion most dresses to accommodate all different body types. And the consultant said there are lots of styles to choose from. The A-line dress is very popular which is cut tight at the bust and flares out at the bottom. Separates are becoming very fashionable, too, with the top being sold separately from the skirt. This style offers more flexibility to women as they can be mixed and matched and alterations become less problematic.
Women can also choose different fabrics between the separates as well.
Strapless or thin-strapped dresses are also popular. Shoes and undergarments cannot be ignored as a wrong choice or fit can take away from the overall fit and appearance of the dress. Mothers of the bride are also breaking the mold. They also do not need to be tied to the same color scheme as the bridal party. Mothers can stake their own claim to bridal fashion with their own style, body type and flattering color schemes.
