Gok Wan's style school: what to wear to a wedding

September is a popular month for weddings and lots of you have tweeted, asking me what to wear.

Check out my tips for dresses to suit your figure type and have you looking picture-perfect.

Just make sure you don't upstage the bride!



My reader model Kimberley Smith, a 27-year-old Advertising Manager from Buckhurst Hill, wanted to know what would suit her figure.

If you have a slim frame... you're PETITE

If you're petite and curvy, like Kimberley, go for a full-skirted fifties dress, with heels, to elongate your legs.

The netted underskirt on this dress is perfect for a glam wedding. Complete the look with a Kate Middleton-esque fascinator.

Fascinator, £25, Coast
Clutch, £7.99, New Look

If you have a small bust, small waist and curvier hips...you're PEAR



An A-line dress is perfect for pear shapes. It will skim your curves and make the most of a tiny waist. Metallic accessories are a great investment as they go with everything!

Dress, £26, Topshop
Bag, £45, Accessorize

If you have a slim and small hipped figure...you're BOYISH



Boyish figures need to emphasize curves and a peplum does just that. It creates a feminine shape and choosing a printed style will also add shape. Slip into some party heels and you're good to go!

Dress, £45, River Island
Heels, £65, Topshop

If you have an hourglass figure...you're CURVY



A panelled dress is a must-have for curvy girls, guaranteed to slim your silhouette and make you drop a dress size without stepping in the gym! Complete the look with glam accessories.
