I really like the mermaid dress but now I dont know if I want to try it on because of my body type so I just picked out this ball gown style to hide all of it. I need to know if I'm...

I need to know if I'm doing the right thing.

    No body shaming here girl! You look just fine! Go ahead and try whatever dresses you like. You might be surprised at what you will like once you get it on. Please don't feel like you are religated to a certain dress style.

    Try the mermaid dresses on! I know exactly how you feel, I’m a bigger size than all of my friends and I was so nervous about trying on dresses because I was sure I would need an A Line to hide my “problem areas”. I made a plus sized bridal appointment at a local bridal salon and it was an amazing experience and I loved the way the mermaid gowns fit me over the gowns with larger skirts, they just completely overpowered me (I’m short) and the mermaid styles accentuated these curves! Just try It!!

    I have always been self conscious of my size, especially my thighs and butt, so I went into dress shopping wanting an a-line, puffy dress to hide it. Tried one on and yeah, it hid everything, but I didn't like it, family didnt like it, FH didnt like it (yes, he was there. He's my best support system and I HATE clothes shopping). It didnt fit my personality. So my consultant put me in a fit and flare and I loved it! My grandmother cried, I cried, my FH and dad loved it. Don't be afraid to wear whatever you want just because of other people's impressions of how you look!
