    Ha,,,very nice wedding dress! It seems that this wedding dress is made of taffeta. Taffeta is a stiff crisp weave with a slight sheen that works best in styles that flare, and is particularly good for structured ball gowns or full skirts. It fits all the seasons. Sometimes choosing the right wedding dress is a problem for us.Thanks for sharing.

    Interesting! Both of you got the suitable wedding dress.This traditional style of wedding is characterized by: fit of the upper body, waist tightened as well as the exaggerated full skirt. The waist line is just on the waist, or little lower, even near the breech.This wedding dress is suitable for plump brides. Choose long-sleeked style or V-shaped waistline will make the visual effect better.
