Are you an unusually tall bride?  According to Bride.net certain types of gowns might be a better fit for you than others. For instance, if you are tall and slender then a sheath gown without straps might really show off your figure. Make sure that is very tight fitting. If you are less slender then you might want to try a dress that has an A line with a dropped waist. This will make you look more slender and trim your waist so that Marilyn Monroe body shape is really emphasized. If you are pear shaped and have a tall figure then you want to go with more of a prom style that has a very tight waist and a flared out tulle or satin skirt.
If you are concerned about having broad shoulders than a scalloped neckline with capes sleeves can help you look less bulky in that area and make you appear to be more willowy as you walk down the aisle. A dropped waist also has the effect of making the shoulders look more slender as well as it balances out the hourglass shape with the bulk of the hips.
