Step 1
First do some research and decide if you are a Pear shape, Hourglass shape, Banana Shape or Apple shape. Then measure yourself at the bust, waist, hips, and length.
-
Step 2
Next, decide if you want a full-length floor gown or a shorter tea-length gown, etc. Have someone do a color analysis on your skin to help determine your skin tone and what colors most suite that tone. If you choose carefully, you can find a dress that may be worn more than once. This is a good investment.

Step 3
Finally, visit several sites and do price matching. There are sites that have dresses for resale and you can save a great deal of money. Be prepared to have the dress you choose altered. All people are not the same size, so dresses are made to be a "close" fit. Always check and ask the measurements before ordering the dress.
