"Nothing makes a woman more beautiful 

than the belief that she is beautiful." 

— Sophia Loren. 

When choosing a wedding dress, there are several factors to consider:

1. Body Type: Consider the style of dress that flatters your body shape the most. For example, an A-line dress can be flattering for a pear-shaped figure, while a ball gown can be good for an hourglass figure.

2. Venue: The venue of your wedding can also influence the style of dress you choose. For example, a beach wedding may call for a lightweight, flowy dress, while a formal church wedding may require a more traditional, full-length gown.

3. Personal Style: Consider your personal style and what you feel most comfortable wearing. Your wedding dress should reflect your personality and make you feel confident on your special day.

4. Budget: Consider your budget and set a realistic budget for your dress. Keep in mind that the cost of alterations, accessories, and undergarments may add to the overall expense.

5. Time: Keep in mind the time of year and time of day of your wedding when choosing a dress. For example, a long-sleeved dress may be more appropriate for a winter wedding, while a sleeveless dress may be more appropriate for a summer wedding.

6. Comfort: As you will be wearing your dress for a long period of time, it's important to choose a dress that is comfortable and easy to move in.

7. Shop around: Try on different styles and designers, and don't be afraid to try on dresses that you may not have considered before. You may be surprised by how a certain style or designer looks on you.

8. Get a second opinion: Bring along a trusted friend or family member whose opinion you value to help you make your decision.
