Tall
You: You’re at least 5ft 8
Do: Tall women look great in pretty much everything. But you can really be a showstopper in elegant off-the-shoulder styles and dresses with open necklines.
Don’t: Avoid gowns with high necks and long sleeves as they may detract from your curves. Be careful with headpieces and hairstyles too as they can make you look taller.

Very slim
You: You are very slender and have a tiny frame
Do: A ball gown will look fabulous on you, accentuating your curves. Modern short styles also look great on you.
Don’t: Portrait, off-the-shoulder and halter necklines could make you look boyish, so avoid these styles. Be careful with the type of bodice too if you have a small bust as you want a style that will give you a bit of a cleavage.

Pregnant
You: Well, we think you’d know, but you’d have a big belly!
Do: It’s tough buying a gown while pregnant but there are lots of great options. The key thing to remember is that by the time your wedding day comes along you’ll be bigger than you are when you go for you dress fitting. Empire and A-line styles are really good for you but you can also get away with column dresses and slinky styles if you want to show off your bump.
Don’t: Obviously avoid anything that’s too constricting or uncomfortable, including tight bodices and ball gowns. But don’t feel you have to be boring or wear something that you don’t absolutely love, essentially don’t make a snap decision when buying your wedding dress.
