March/ April 2005 The Bane of Body Image
Also remember that while most women are somewhat unhappy with their bodies, they are typically excited to show for their wedding dress, unlike shopping for a bathing suit, says Julie
Sabatino, of The Stylish Bride, a New York Based “Bridal Fashion Styling Service.” She says that a
bride's phobias may not be a reality so present a variety of styles to avoid overlooking a gown that might be great. While doing this, continually work with the bride’s goals, exuding confidence that you can work with many body types. “Some brides are trying to look like themselves,” Sabatino says. “Some are trying to look like something they want to be. Others are trying to please a fiancée or mother. Given the complexity, steer them towards the best shapes for their body.”
