Help me find wedding dress ideas

Hi,

I am struggling to find a wedding dress I think would suit my body shape. I’m just wondering if anybody can make any suggestions so I know where to start looking?

A bit about me:
5ft9
very skinny with a flat chest, my hips are a bit wider after two kids but still mostly straight up and down.

I have found some lovely strapless dresses but don’t believe they would look quite right on me.

Thanks 😊

You sound like you could wear lots of different types as you are tall and slim!
If you download the Hitched app they have a section which shows you lots of different styles that you then narrow down to your favourite style.
They are more conventional than boho but a useful start. Then I would book to go and try on dresses at a local boutique...

Ooh thanks for that - I’ll have a nosey now 😊

Do you have anything in your wardrobe you already like? I have a bit of a tricky shape. I went to my dressmaker armed with a jacket from my wardrobe for the neckline and bodice shape and a photo of my mothers wedding dress for further points.

My dress is highly unfashionable but oh, so gorgeous on me.
