You are straight up and down—your three measurements are similar.
You may want to add some shape to your figure, and if you’re tall, you can use your height to your advantage
A quality constructed gown is made to be flattering and will create a waistline. Well-placed lace or embroidery can trick the eye and create shape, too.
If you are tall, an elegant gown will look stunning. You aren’t trying to hide anything so you can go for a gown with lots of features—think overlays, detachable trains and layers of fabric.
Every bride has things she likes and dislikes about her body. It’s important to find a dress that fits your personality and preferences, but don’t let your inner critic take over.
