There's a wedding dress silhouette to flatter every bride. Here's a quick guide to the most-loved shapes and who they tend to suit — though the best rule is always to try what makes you feel beautiful.

A-line — universally flattering

Fitted through the bodice and flowing gently to the floor, the A-line skims the body and suits nearly everyone. It's a safe, elegant place to start.
