I really like both, but I ended up with a ballgown! I had no issue getting a fitted dress, though

For my body type it has to be fitted. Otherwise I look really huge in the hips. But full is very pretty on other people

Fitted! Full dresses just didn't look right on me.

I prefer the A line look as to me it combines both styles elegantly. I'm not one for the mermaid fit nor the Cinderella poof. Each person and body type however can make all styles look amazing in their own way. If I could work it I'd wear a saree style.

Fitted is better on more petite brides. Full dresses look overwhelming on us.

In my opinion I love fitted. I want to not only look sexy, but I want to show off my curves as well. Hence why I picked a mermaid dress

Full because fitted may not be as flattering after eating for me!

I thought I’d love Full and go with that type of dress, however, even with being overweight, I definitely love Fitted! Even fitted dresses can fit curvy girls in all the right places!
