June is almost synonymous to Wedding
If you are pear-shaped –small on top and bigger on the bottom, you may want to look flattering with your smaller busts but play down with your hips and buttocks. To do this you got plenty of choices --square necklines, spaghetti strap, halter and off-the-shoulder styles. For a skirt you may get an A-line or empire waistline—both styles de-emphasize the hips and make you look more slender. Stay away from sheaths and other cuts that hit the hip level.

The train is also a main concern. You may pick a short train (flows 4 ½ feet from the waist) or a grand cathedral train (the longest you want) –depends on its balance with the skirt of your gown and the type of wedding you chose. Basically, the less formal the wedding is, the shorter the train.
And here's the final tip: It takes time to find the perfect wedding gown, and the most practical time to shop for it is six months before the big day. This will
