When you're in the bridal salon, don't eliminate anything at first glance. Even though certain styles work best on certain body types,
don't let these “rules” narrow your search too much. It helps to first
try on all different kinds of dresses and then decide which shape and
style you look and feel best in. So if the salesperson brings you
something she says you must try, try it -- even if you’re not loving the
way it looks on the hanger. Many a bride has ended up falling for a
wedding gown the salesperson had to persuade her to try on.
