Choosing a Bridesmaid Dress Style
Category: Wedding Articles
Remember when choosing dresses for different shaped girls, v-necks are always flattering. As are scoop necks and empire waists.
More specifically:
flabby arms- 3/4 length sleeves. consider a shrug or wrap. NO sleeveless or strapless.
petite figure-tailored sheaths, modest A-lines that fall below the knee. NO full length hemlines and keep embellishments to a minimum.
full figure-A-LINE silhouettes, v-necks elongate the torso and ruching at the waist. AVOID sheaths, mermaid styles and body hugging dresses.

Age is a big factor
"Age is a big factor. The older a woman is, the harder it is for her to
attract a man to marry,'' said David Popenoe, co-director of the National
Marriage Project at Rutgers University. "You don't find that same phenomenon
as much among men."
