There are many different types of dresses out there, but here are the main 3:
Sweetheart or Hourglass
This sexy yet classy dress is a great way to show off your hourglass figure in a beautiful and wonderfully feminine way. An hourglass dress is a good choice for the bride who has an typical female shape. If you have a large bust, thin waist and hips, this can be an excellent choice.
Mermaid
Who doesn't want to look like this beautiful half fish half woman fantasy?! This dress looks great on petite women as it accentuates your small waist. This is a good dress for women with a small bust. This dress can also make you appear taller which is great for some of us shorter girls out here.
Empire Waist
This classic style is a great dress that makes you look thinner as your hips and thighs are not visible/ the focal point. (Who wouldn't want that on their wedding day?) It also creates the illusion of a bigger bust which is a bonus for anyone who has always wanted that. This is a great laid back dress. Although it does not point focus to your curves it still makes you feel feminine and beautiful!
