Designer Wedding Dresses

Your dream designer wedding dress is one of the single most important factors for working the wedding wow-factor, so if you fancy a fishtail frock, make sure you get it right by following our expert dos and don'ts...

Fishtail frocks encompass a flawless fusion of sleek simplicity, and embellished extravagance, but their suave silhouette is not for everyone!

Sleek and figure hugging, these designer wedding dresses are fitted around the bodice and hips, before flaring out at the knee — keen to cling to your every contour, this style requires you to conquer your confidence in order to pull it off!

Do...

Favour a fishtail over a column style wedding dress if you want voluptuous volume!

Choose this style if you're a curvy girl with perfect proportions — a fishtail dress will complement a well balanced hip and bust measurement!

Get fired up with a flamenco flare (see below right), where the lower front part of the dress is gathered for some Spanish sophistication.

Opt for a boned corset if you're wearing a strapless style — not only will it help keep the designer wedding dress up, but it also creates a beautiful shape.

Make the most of the movement — fishtail gowns flow fabulously!

Carry it with confidence — overcome objections and ooze Hollywood glamour!

Don't...

Opt for a fishtail frock if your curves are all in your bottom — this style is also best avoided if you are apple, or pear shaped.

Let your guests see more than they bargained for — the fishtail gown clings to the bottom, so make sure you are equipped with suitably subtle underwear!

Feel frumpy if you're fuller figured — this style of designer wedding dress is most suited to tall slender frames, so stick to A-Line or corset and skirt styles if you're feeling self-conscious.
