"When you are having a dress custom made, knowing exactly what you want is a good idea, but also knowing what's going to fit your body type is, is also helpful because some styles don't fit some body types the same way as they'll fit other body types. What I recommend doing is actually going in to other bridal salons and tring on dresses so that you can see exactly how these dresses are going to fit. Take your camera with you, take your cell phone, take pictures of the dresses that you really like, of the aspects of the different dresses that really flatter your figure. What you like is what is most important. There are a lot of different style trends that are, are out right now that will always be out, but it's what your fashion taste dictate what your dress should be. But, yeah, trying on dresses is the best thing to do, that way you know exactly how they're going to fit, and you can take detailed pictures of what you like the best."
