Wedding Dress Styles – Choosing the Right One
Choosing a wedding dress is probably one of the most time consuming and difficult things for a bride to do. There are so many styles to choose from that it can be quite overwhelming. When you break it all down, there are basically 5 choices, the A-Line or Princess, Empire, Column, Ball Gown and Mermaid.
A-Line or Princess Style
This is a great dress that is suitable for most body types. The way the dress is made gives the impression of height and is good for the bride who wishes to look taller. The cut also helps to make the bride look slimmer which is a bonus. The style means that there is a full skirt and the whole dress is very versatile. It accentuates the best bits of your body and hides the others!
Empire
This is a very good dress again for most body types but especially good for those women with a smaller bust or those with a larger bust. This is because the dress brings the focus of attention to around the neckline. With some jewellery here, the effect is increased and the neckline becomes the centre of attention.
Column
The column style dress is quite well fitting and is more suitable for the slimmer lady. It is not the most forgiving so if you have body areas that are perhaps a little larger than you are happy with, this dress will not do well to hid it. Due to the hugging nature of the dress, it will make the bride look taller, the downside is that it can be a little harder to move in!
Ball Gown
This style of dress is good for the slimmer bride and also for those who do not wish to show off the leg area too much. The way the dress fans out at the bottom does not show off the legs at all but the centre of focus if at the upper half of the body. This style is also probably not best suited to shorter women as it can look proportionally unequal.
Mermaid
This style of dress is best suited to the slender bride as it does show off the figure and does not look flattering for those who do not enjoy their body curves. There are a range of styles to choose form and you can see if there is one for you.
Just remember that once you have decided upon your dress, you need to invest in the proper dress storage box for it otherwise you risk ruining your investment in many years time through fabric degradation.

Some Mad Hope $6.75 With rapturous romanticism and over-the-top, heart-on-sleeve emotion, Matt Nathanson can’t decide whether he wants to be U2’s Bono (particularly on the opening “Car Crash”) or John Mayer (with whom he’s toured as an opening act). Though his roots are in the folk coffeehouse, he plainly has his ears aimed toward the rock arena, as the propulsive “To the Beat of Our Noisy Hearts” and “Detroit Waves”… |

Like a Virgin $3.86 Madonna’s second album was her breakthrough, thanks principally to two gimmicky hits: the sinuous “Like a Virgin,” with its taboo-busting metaphor for that fresh, clean new-love feeling, and the cutesy, Betty-Boopsy “Material Girl.” Most of the rest of the album, although similarly frothy, is superior to those warhorses, notably the irresistible LP tracks “Over and Over,” and “Pretender”–which ad… |

Bubblegum $8.45 Bubblegum is Mark Lanegan’s sixth solo album, but still he’s relatively unknown to all but a few. Since going solo, the former Screaming Trees frontman has attracted a cult following, but if a man can be judged by the stature of his friends, then surely Bubblegum marks the beginning of Lanegan’s turn in the spotlight. Featuring such high-profile guests as PJ Harvey (“Hit the City” and “Come to Me”… |

Love Letter [VHS] $3.99 No one with romantic tendencies will be able to resist The Love Letter. Campbell Scott plays a Civil War buff who buys a desk from that era. While polishing it, he discovers a secret compartment, in which sits an unmailed letter–a letter written by a young woman named Lizzie (Jennifer Jason Leigh) over a century earlier. Touched by her yearning for passion, he writes her back, egged on by his mys… |

Cinderella [VHS] $7.79 More is not necessarily better. A glitzy Hollywood cast and a big budget did not improve the wonderful 1957 teleplay (or its equally charming 1964 remake) upon which this version is based. This is partly because Brandy, cast in the title role, cannot act. Not helping matters are Whoopi Goldberg as the prince’s mother and Jason Alexander as his valet. Their shtick wears thin very quickly. However, … |

Houseboat [VHS] $5.52 Cary Grant and Sophia Loren look just swell together in Houseboat, and why shouldn’t they? Grant was still at his best, Loren was bewitching Hollywood as an exotic new ingénue, and offscreen they had had a torrid affair a couple of years earlier, during the shooting of The Pride and the Passion. The two tanned stars are the main attraction in this romantic comedy, which installs single dad Cary a… |
