Hi Brides to be,This bride came in looking for a wedding dress but in A-line or princess cut as she was told mermaid dress would not suit her body shape. I looked at my brides body shape and said to her it  depends on the mermaid style if it suits you. I said try this Essense of Australia D1608. I explained to my bride that the pleated ruched design is flattering and the cap beaded sleeve right at the edge of her shoulders would draw the waistline in. The filled in beaded back going into a V is another great feature to draw the waist in. The dress is a size 18 and I have not altered it yet for her . I think her curves look great and it definitely figure flattering can't wait till the  wedding day so I can show you how stunning this bride is going to look. It's all about knowledge of styling a bride.
