For example, a wide boat neckline will make your waist seem smaller and a fitted bodice into an `A’ line or full skirt will conceal a hip measurement that you would rather not have published. It is also important to see yourself in a style that you had not envisaged would suit you. You may find yourself in the dress of your dreams.

Some advice before setting out to the bridal shop would be to try and simulate your part in the wedding day by implementing a few basic steps.

• Wear flesh coloured underwear
• Invest in a new brassiere which will lift your bust, thereby lengthening your waist and defining your figure.
• Think about how you intend to dress your hair and fix it as best as you can. The set of your hair and the shape it creates will effect the neckline most suitable.

Good luck with your search and we look forward to meeting you.
