First off, here is a quick run down of the basic wedding gown silhouettes:
A-line or Princess: Cut close to the hip with a slight flare at the hem line thus creating an “A” shape
Ball Gown: Fitted bodice that leads to a very full skirt (the “Cinderella” look)
Empire: High waist line that is cropped just below the bust from where the skirt flares
Mermaid: Body hugging gown that flares just below the knee
Sheath: Slim silhouette that closely follows the lines of your body
Ok, now that we have a basic idea of the various types of gown silhouettes, let’s discuss choosing the correct one for your body type.
Petite: If you have a petite frame, there is one very key item to keep in mind – not letting the dress wear you. It’s easy for a petite woman to get lost in her wedding gown; therefore, it’s important to choose a gown that compliments your body frame. Choice gowns for you: Sheath or A-line.
Thin: A thin frame can handle the majority of gown silhouettes, so the choices are amble for you! Choice gowns for you: Ball gown or Sheath.
Full Figure: The most important thing when choosing your gown is that you feel comfortable and have the support you need, especially for woman with a full chest. If you have a full chest, invest in a great support garment or try a body "minimizer" underneath your gown for a quickie way to a slimmer figure! Choice gowns for you: Ball gown or A-line.
Hourglass: You have curves in all the right places! Congrats! What better way to show off your figure than with your wedding gown. A Mermaid silhouette will surely showcase your curves and definitely make your husband smile! Choice gowns for you: A-line or Mermaid.
Pear Shape: It's all about proportion here! Balancing your upper body to your lower body. If you have wider hips, an empire silhouette is a fantastic way to conceal that. The focus is directed towards your upper body, rather than your lower half. Choice gowns for you: Empire or Ball gown.

Great advice, thanks Sumer!
I really like your selections (sooo pretty!). I really had a good idea of the features I wanted as well, and it saved me a lot of money.
