It's pretty easy to find a perfect wedding dress for everyone. In fact, the knowledge that I'm about to drop can also apply to bridesmaid dresses.
When all else fails, there's the A-line. An A-line dress (also known among the more condescending designers as the "princess") skims curves without hugging too tightly, highlights the good parts and, in essence, flatters almost anyone. Some guides warn that A-lines don't work for women who lack defined waistlines, but in practice, that's not always the case. Plenty of plus-sized gowns by JS Boutique and other designers feature an A-line silhouette.
In general, empire waistlines are also friendly to women who lack definition in the torso. Such women may be said to have a "rectangular" build. In honesty, most people look fine in an empire-waist gown, especially with a capped or elbow-length slashed sleeve. Heavier arms? No prob. They're covered in all the right places and look great.
Skinny women are required by StyleSpy law to wear a column dress. Why? Because everyone else on the planet wants to wear a column dress and really shouldn't. That's why. Even better: a tiered column dress. (This BCBGMaxAzria gown isn't exactly a column, but it sure does have intimidating tiers.)
How about a pear-shaped woman? Ball gown or two-piece wedding garments, while harder to find, work wonders. Any dress that goes out more than down as it heads toward the floor is your friend. In contrast, shouldery Jessica Biel types look fantastic in dresses with halter-style tops.
Whatever you do, take your time finding your dress. It should be as special as you are.
