Step 2: Understand Silhouettes
The silhouette sets the foundation for how your dress will look and feel on you. Here’s a quick guide to the most popular ones:
A-Line
Universally flattering, flows from the waist down, perfect for any wedding setting.

Fit and Flare
Fitted through the bodice and hips, flaring out just above the knees for a flirty touch.

Mermaid
Hugs your curves and flares out at the knees for a bold, dramatic statement.

Step 3: Consider Fabrics and Details
Fabrics play a huge role in how a dress feels and looks. Here are some favorites:
Lace
Romantic and timeless, perfect for traditional or boho weddings.
Satin
Luxurious and smooth, ideal for modern or classic brides.
Tulle
Light and airy, great for adding volume and a whimsical vibe.
Crepe
A modern favorite, offering a clean, elegant look that skims the body.
And don’t forget the details! From sparkling beadwork to dramatic trains and unique necklines, these little touches can elevate your dress to a whole new level.
Step 4: Know Your Timeline
Shopping consignment gives you an edge because many dresses are off-the-rack, meaning you don’t have to wait months for a custom order. However, alterations take time, so aim to start shopping at least six months before your big day.
