Fashion Advice About Choosing Your Gown:
- Always know what the bride wants for her day. Â If she wants you to wear a certain color or style, then keep that in mind when shopping for your gown.
- If she has left the color choice to you then try to have an idea of what colors you look best in. Â What colors make you feel great when you wear them? Â Also, think about what colors people compliment you on when you wear them. Â Do cool colors suit you? Â Perhaps you look best in warmer tones like sienna, chocolate, or coral? Â Go with what looks best with your hair color, skin tone and eye color.
- Pleating and ruching are great figure flattering details that can disguise a tummy or other lumps and bumps. Ruching can also add curves to a figure that is void of any!
- Remember that it’s the bride’s day to shine so don’t go too over the top with the gown you choose (unless she has given you the go-ahead of course!).  Looking ultra flashy and too glammed up will upstage the bride.
- Tailor it! Â Make sure your gown has been tailored to your body. Â A perfectly tailored gown will make your figure look its best.
