smoothly is to have a receivingline.

the tension -filled part is over and the party
is about to begin.
If you're not sure what to say as you pro-

troduce yourself to those you don't know and
continue on.. Bridal party members should
follow suit. The bride and groom usually

Styling details
flatter the figure
Are you till and thin? Short and bosomy?
Of mediufn height with a long torso? Broad -
shouldered? a bit thick in the middle?
Whatever your figure type, there's a wed-
ding dress that's right for yon. There are
also wedding dresses that are wrong for
you, points out the Bride's Wedding Planner
(Conde Nast Publications).
If you're short, says the planner, shop for
dresses with neat seams or lace appliques
that run lengthwise. Consider empire,
princess or A-line dresses with small collars
and cuffs and a trim neckline.
Tall, slim "women should look for dresses
with a trim that wraps all around, wide
belts, wide collars and cuffs, raglan or but-
terfly sleeves, low necklines - both front and
back - and flared or tiered skirts.
Full -figured women should consider a
carefully fitted princess line or loosely
shaped style that just skims the body. Avoid
fabrics that cling. Focus on gowns with
slender. sleeves, V- or U-shaped necklines,
and graceful skirts with fullness at the front
and sides.
If you're thick in the middle, aim for the
slimming effects of a lifted bodice and A-
line skirt. Avoid thick sashes and tight
waists.
Broadshouldered? Look for dresses with
set-in sleeves, low Vs or high covered necks:
Shy away from puffed or leg o' mutton
sleeves, .broad collars.
Women with narrow shoulders are advis-
ed to seek a gown with a bare or widely
curved neckline, or to wear a cape or
capelet. A broader look to the shoulders can
also be achieved by sleeves that gather at
the top.
Bosomy tykes should seek V-sliaped-, U-
shaped, or high necklines and avoid cinched
waists, empires that rise high under the
bust, and clingy jerseys.
If you're wide at the hips, let an A-line or
gently flared skirt slim them. Balance the
. look by choosing a broad collar and puffy
sleeves.
