She’s heavily underrated. Her explanation made it so much easier to understand.

[@WeddingFashionExpert]

Thank you so much!

[@mortviolette284]

Yup, this helped confirm that sheath dresses are the most flattering for a certain physique. They really make a person look statuesque! Thank you. :)

[@WeddingFashionExpert]

My pleasure! Happy to hear you enjoyed this video.

[@hend_9743]

Love this one the most 7:00 I noticed when searching bridal online that the all attention goes to the general body fit, no one care enough about neck style, most of dresses are sweet heart style and I don’t like that 😿 straight strapless is very rare

[@WeddingFashionExpert]

Love this!! Thank you for the comment. We'll make a video on various necklines!

[@sightseerproductions]

Hi Nayri, thank you for the very informative visual presentation. By the way, in my opinion, the dress number 3 and number 4 look the most flattering on you. You are glowing. :)

[@Suedepants100]

I’m hoping to be in shape and fit by the time I’m married lol, so then I will be able to get a more fitted look and not be insecure (and also just to be healthier because that’s important). But I guess after watching this, I’ve decided my favorite style is ball gown!

[@cynthiaf.7324]

I’ve been a bridal stylist now for over 22 years and absolutely love watching your videos. It’s all about having fun trying on gowns and listening to your brides. Thank you for all your advice and keep posting your fabulous videos! ❤

[@WeddingFashionExpert]

Agreed! They are gorgeous!

[@Deetrim]

A-line is beautiful

[@milaalvarez4629]

Beautiful! Loved the one with the over skirt 😍 I remember looking at my grandmother’s bridal magazines and dreaming of the one that has the short dress underneath. I still went with the ball gown, though! Input about wearing a hooped underskirt? I want to wear my dress full as it is all night! Is that too crazy? It’s the only few hours I’ll ever wear my dress…and it’s beautiful and sparkling. I can’t wrap my head around tucking it into a bustle… 😢

[@WeddingFashionExpert]

I would have the bustle done in alterations on your gown so you have the choice to bustle it whenever you want. Keep the train down until it feels unmanageable.

[@milaalvarez4629]

@@WeddingFashionExpert thank you! That’s a great idea, whenever I asked at the bridal shop they looked at me like I’m simply clueless.

[@WeddingFashionExpert]

@@milaalvarez4629 always happy to help!! :) Wishing you a remarkable wedding!

[@suzymleon29]

This was so great!! Thank You! I want fitted but I'm concerned about my lower half. The addition of a skirt AND sleeves is a gamechanger. Now I feel like those options are not really possible at franchise locations right? You'd have to go to actual bridal boutiques?

[@WeddingFashionExpert]

Yes, definitely find an expert bridal store.

[@JillianGuinta]

Thank you for this video! The end was particularly clarifying on sizing. I am able to submit custom measurements for my gown, and I am concerned that the detachable skirt obscure my waist line. The tiniest part of my “waist” is just south of my fixed ribs (I have a rib cage that’s tiny from the side wider when viewed from the front). Could the placement of the skirt be changed by a talented seamstress, if need be?

[@WeddingFashionExpert]

Hi Jillian, so happy you found this video helpful! Yes, a seamstress can adjust the overskirt for you! Let me know if anything else is needed.

[@nicolebc6626]

Hi! Whats the name of the dress that has the separate skirt? I love that you get 2 looks in one!

[@WeddingFashionExpert]

Hi! It's called Mabel by Leah Da Gloria. :)

[@dp24493]

What design would be best for skinny girls?

[@carriew29]

Nayri, again, another very informative video! I understand when you said the wider the bottom the smaller the bride's waist appears. How do these shapes come into factor when your bride has broad shoulders? My daughter has an inverted triangle shape - broader shoulders with narrow waist and hips. She is beautiful in fitted gowns, but she does not like how broad her shoulders look in that type of dress. Does a dress with more fullness at the bottom also offset broader shoulders too? Or are we focusing on the wrong area and should be considering the neckline? Thanks for any suggestions!

[@WeddingFashionExpert]

Hello! Glad you enjoyed this video. Yes, it absolutely can! I recommend trying on all the shapes for gowns and various necklines, straps, etc., to see what works best for her body! :)

[@lizachetia9325]

Hi , I have choosing and ivory lace wedding dress am a tan skinned so what are the best colour option for lining?

[@WeddingFashionExpert]

Hi Liza! Great question! I recommend trying on both colors and seeing what you like more on your skin and which color photographs better. Ask the store to show you another style dress by the same designer in the color option you'd be considering. Here's (kzbin.info/www/bejne/enXFoGWvedFksNU) a new video on this topic for you to learn more! Let me know if anything else is needed!

[@Svea83]

Love your videos. Just found you but have seen a lot already 😄 can you do a video for us girls who are plus size but still want to show off the body in something fitted? I have lost a lot of weight so want to show off my body but I’m a little self conscious about my tummy and arms

[@WeddingFashionExpert]

Thank you so much!!! Happy you found me! Absolutely! Would love to make a video on this 💜

[@the-commoner]

where did you buy the laces you use in your bridal gown? is that custom made for you?

[@WeddingFashionExpert]

These gowns are not produced by us they are all made by Ines Di Santo

[@lydiegertrudebidie9702]

Bonjour, j'aime beaucoup je veux commander c.a.t

[@ExanthePRKL]

I'd love to see how well you can actually move in a trumpet or mermaid type dress. I love them but I feel like it'll take a lot of movement and comfort out the window

[@WeddingFashionExpert]

Everyone moves differently in them! I am used to wearing fitted skirts so I can maneuver easily and adjust. Everyone's comfort level and ability to move vary.

[@alexxwalton31]

I’m not sure what kind of dress I should use for my wedding. I am only 4”11 and 90 lbs. my hips are very thin and my boobs are almost nonexistent. What kind of dress should I wear to fit my body??

[@WeddingFashionExpert]

The only way to know what style to wear and what you feel is flattering on your body is to start trying styles on. The more variety of shapes you try the better just to get an idea of what you like on your body and what makes you feel beautiful.

What's the dress with the overskirt, please!?

Why do they make the sample gowns so long? Once it gets cut down for the length of a normal sized woman won’t it lose a lot of the design/look?
