Choose A Flattering Wedding Dress For Apple Shape

How can you choose a wedding dress for apple shape body type?

Well it all starts with knowing how to play up the positives and hiding the negative.

Let's identify your figure challenges.

An apple shaped body type has very little waist definition.
