What next?

Hello all! As I mentioned before, I am trying to lose 20 some-odd punds before my wedding (October 2010) and I usually go for the A-Line style. I do remember what a few of you have said that I should wait before buying a dress (early spring?) but I was wondering what other styles would look good on a 5'5, 135-45 lb, slightly tanned person? I like what Sophia Tolli does and I don't want anything over-embellished. So please feel free to mention some designers or overall styles! Thanks! Sarah

I think it may depend on more. Do you have large breasts? Are you pear-shaped, do you have a defined waist, or do you carry most of your weight in your mid-section? Do you have a long torso, long legs? I think trying on dresses is the best way you will see what fits the best. Another 5'5 135lb person will probably look completely different in a dress than you. Good luck finding the one

Seriously, everyone's body is different.  It depends on your shape, your build, whether you're muscular or not in shape, etc.  It's kind of ridiculous to pick out a dress for you without ever having seen you.  If you go for A-lines generally, there's probably a reason--because you look good in them and it's what you're comfortable in.  Don't try to force something you're not crazy about!Re: Sophia Tolli.  I find that Jim Hjelm and Pronovias have kind of a similar vibe.  I'd check them out, too.
