If you are very tall, you prefer long mermaid models with bare shoulders, or short and cheeky models.

Also the volumes are not to be underestimated , they "crush" the figure and you can therefore dare only if you have medium height and you will choose to wear high heels.

Do you have an oval , Rounded body with rounded shoulders?

You can enhance your feminine curves with empire-style, slipped or princess-style dresses and slim your figure with deep V-necklines ., edgy and with hips and shoulders of the same width, opt for dresses that enhance the waistline such as mermaid or princess dresses and bateau or sweetheart necklines.

 Finally, if your femininity is reflected in an hourglass shape , with shoulders and hips of the same size and a narrow waist, you can wear any dress except empire-style ones because they would excessively mask the natural lines of your body.

your wedding be held in a church, in town or outdoors? This factor is also very important in choosing the wedding dress.
