What style is your wedding dress? Are you wearing a fit-n-flare or mermaid dress that shows off your shape? Were you drawn towards the drama of a ballgown? Are you into the simple sophistication of a sheath? Share your shape!

    I haven't actually tried any on yet but for years I've wanted a tee length A line! Not sure if I'm excited or nervous for my first appointment.

    My Dress is technically a "ballgown". But it's not poofy at all. I think it meets like halfway in the middle. A little more shape then an A-Line, But I wouldn't have dubbed it a ball gown either.

    I originally bought an A-line and it looked wonderful on me. But, for a variety of reasons, I am now wearing a twirly ballgown. Smiley laugh

    I imagine myself in an A-line but we'll see what happens when I go shopping in about a month!

    I have not gone dress shopping yet.

    I am terrified to go though as nothing looks right on me.

    I am 5 feet tall.

    I have ruled out styles based on my height, like mermaid, but my first dress shopping day with be to try on all styles so that I know where to narrow my search.

    I'm in an A-line so almost like a ball-gown but not as poofy!

    Mine is a fit and flare! Never would have thought it would be that style, but for sure not the ball gown.

    I'm not sure what you would classify my dress as at the moment, but once I add all the tulle underneath it will most definitely be a ball gown! yayy

    Between fit and flare/sheath. I’M early 30s with two kids I feel the princess look isn’t for me so I want something a bit more vintage looking

    Ball gown for me - always thought I'd pick a gentler A-line skirt, but the minute I tried it on I wanted that poofiness lol. The skirt is my favourite part of the dress.

    I'll be wearing a ballgown! Literally the one silhouette that I didn't think I would get because I had that silhouette for my High School Graduation in 2015 lol

    I'm going to be wearing a ballgown. The bigger and poofier I can make the skirt, the better!

    I’m definitely wearing something that closer to a ball gown and I’m so excited for it!
