After examining the contents of fashionable wedding publications, it's time to go to the salons of the city for a fitting. After all, a picture is one thing, but how the model will sit on you is quite another. Perhaps your preferences will change dramatically.

How to emphasize the figure favorably
The bride should critically examine her figure or seek help from a loved one, who may be a friend or mother. It is very important to highlight areas that lack volume and areas of the body that need adjustment. Based on this information, you need to look for a suitable dress.
![A-line wedding dress with bow](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/thumb/450-0/2015/12/kak-vybrat-svadebnoe-plate--17.jpg)
The most important rule that you should not give up is that you need to choose a dress according to your figure. The fit must be flawless.

So, let's take a look at a few of the main characteristics that a bride can change with the right outfit.
Height
- You can seem a little lower thanks to a tight-fitting dress, in which the waist will be low and the neckline is deep. It is worth taking a closer look at the sleeves-lanterns, a wide belt and a hem with floral decor.
- It is impossible to seem taller in a ball gown, but a dress in the Greek style with its characteristic high waist and an immodest neckline can add a few centimeters to the height of the bride. A good option would be a long train, gloves to the level of the elbow or even higher, and of course - shoes with high heels.

Emphasis on the back
The royal posture and perfect skin condition on the back allows the bride to wear a dress with a cutout in the back.

Correction of the neckline
- Slightly reduce large breasts (visually, of course), but at the same time it is worthy to emphasize it, the neckline in the shape of the letter V will help.
- If you have a small chest, dresses with a high waistline or with voluminous elements, drapery will serve as a good choice.

Shoulders
- Excessive thinness does not always adorn a woman; in such cases, sleeves with volume, lace decor, floral motifs and ribbons will help.
- Hiding broad shoulders and bringing balance to the figure is possible thanks to the use of voluminous skirts and a modest top. In the opposite situation, when the hips are too wide, a bright top with interesting and abundant decoration will save you.
- Girls with narrow shoulders can choose ballroom wedding dresses.
- Small sleeves in the form of wings, lowered from the shoulders, lace or in a single composition with a dress - they are able to work real miracles with sloping and full shoulders, transforming them and at the same time decorating the bride.

It is difficult to imagine, but correctly selected straps can even make adjustments to the proportions of the figure. What designers can offer us:
- There is only one strap around the neck - this option has no exceptions, since it fits all existing types of figures. With a standard breast size, a narrow shape is suitable, but if the chest is large, then it is better to choose a wide strap.
- A pair of straps can narrow wide shoulders if the distance between them is correct.

You should not choose a dress with straps just because of the likelihood of the dress slipping during the celebration. If you make the correct, moderately tight lacing, then you will be able to avoid funny situations.

The straps in the dress are not only supportive. They are needed in the following situations:
- with large breasts, the straps do not allow the corset to wrinkle and lose its shape;
- a very revealing neckline and a bold shape of a corset in the form of two separate cups require, if not full-fledged straps, but at least thin straps;
- an interesting position of the bride does not allow the use of tight lacing, so the straps in this case will be very handy.

Waist
- Empire dresses and belts can outline the waistline, which in itself is not well defined.
- If the waist itself is too low, then you can brighten up this flaw with an Empire-style or A-line dress.
- If the complexion of the bride consists of large breasts and voluminous hips, then the only option would be a dress with an A-line silhouette, an open neckline and a low waist.

Length
Long
The beauty of the dress should not run counter to the comfort that the bride should feel before the end of the gala evening. A long dress should remain a few centimeters to the floor.
![Floor-length wedding dress](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/thumb/450-0/2015/12/kak-vybrat-svadebnoe-plate--40.jpg)
In almost every bridal salon, you will be offered to adjust the length of the dress, taking into account the wedding shoes you have chosen. The use of the crinoline shortens the dress, therefore, drastic changes with the selected dress should be carried out only after the final selection of the petticoat.
This rule should not be ignored, because in an overly long dress it is difficult to take even a few steps, not to mention dancing and a rich photo session.

A short
A wedding dress in a cropped version, although it looks amazing, has a significant drawback - highlighting and emphasizing the slightest imperfections in the shape of the legs.

And even if you look gorgeous in short skirts, and your legs are admirable, then there is always the possibility of not looking so good in a short wedding dress. Fine fabrics and sparkling décor can do you a disservice and expose your feet in an imperfect light.

Colour
The classic image of the bride is necessarily associated with white. But pay attention to how well it suits you. Maybe a dress in one of the shades of white would be a better option - the classic wedding fashion is quite supportive of this choice.
You can completely move away from classic colors and choose for yourself a completely extraordinary dress in red or even black.
![Red wedding dress](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/thumb/450-0/2015/12/kak-vybrat-svadebnoe-plate--54.jpg)
If the style and silhouette of the dress is chosen according to the figure and character of the bride, then the color design of the dress should correspond to the color type of the girl:
- brunettes can choose gray, silver and pink shades;
- for not swarthy blondes, white, gray with blue and gold outfits, as well as apricot color, are well suited;
- bright red hair can emphasize a cream dress;
- for fair-haired brides, a wide range of colors is available, which includes a combination of white with pink or green, pink with lilac and all milky shades.

Dress or corset with skirt
A dress or a corset with a skirt is a common question that torments brides. Superstitious persons are purposefully looking for a dress, considering the combination of a corset with a skirt as a suit and possibly the cause of family troubles.
This issue is easily solved by sewing the corset to the skirt with a few small stitches - and there is nothing more to worry about.
![Wedding corset and skirt](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/thumb/450-0/2015/12/kak-vybrat-svadebnoe-plate--65.jpg)
A separate corset can be used in combination with trousers or a skirt after the wedding.
Following these rules will help you choose a dress to your liking, figure and mood.
It is best to contact a consultant - he will tell you which style and finish suits best. It will take a little time to choose. But before that, of course, you also need to shoehorn yourself about the choice. To understand whether the image maker is advising correctly or not.
Olga, I completely agree, otherwise they can also advise a lot of this. When I was choosing a wedding dress, I re-furred many sites. Here in the article you can find all the main points on the choice of dresses.
I really liked the article. It is correctly said that there is one thing in the picture, but another in life. Having measured a ton of dresses, I bought something that I would not have paid attention to before trying it on. Of course, the worm of doubt is gnawing, I look with envy at some models of dresses, but remembering how they sit on me - I'm happy with my choice!
