Trying on a wedding dress and instantly having it fit is a miracle. No. Seriously, it's close to it! Almost all brides-to-be encounter fitting issues when trying on wedding dresses. While this is not a big deal, the hassle of alteration after alteration can be time consuming and costly. Here are a few tips to help enjoy a smooth fitting session for your wedding gown:
Choose a dress that naturally flatters your figure. You might have one certain style in your mind - but it might not look so flattering on your body. Women come in all different shapes and sizes, and luckily- so do wedding dresses! Signature Grand Wedding Tip: A-line dresses flatter fuller hips and pear-shaped body types, while drop waist dresses and princess-line cuts are best for fuller waists.
Start with a dress in your size (or very close to it). While it’s possible to size a dress up or down, making drastic changes either way can yield disappointing results. Dresses that are much too big will need to be re-cut in order to hang properly on the body, and dresses that are too snug may not have enough of a seam allowance to be let out – and, with fabrics like satin or velvet, there’s a t endency for the original stitching to show. It’s generally easier to take in a dress than let it out, so if you’re not the same size all over, buy the size that fits the largest part of your body and have the rest taken in.
