1. Make sure it fits. I cannot stress this point enough. The dress must hug your every cuve, be the correct length, and represent your personality correctly. Many times money issues prevent women from wearing the dress they wish they could wear for their wedding, this does not mean you cannot still wear the dress of your dreams.
Remember, designer dresses are one way to go, but getting a custom-made dress is just as exclusive and worthy of respect. And unlike off-the-rack dresses, a custom dress will fit you perfectly.
