Silhouettes to suit an apple-shaped figure

If you're blessed with an apple-shaped figure and are currently wondering about the best wedding dress silhouettes to suit you, Joanne Maloney from A Bridal Story (www.abridalstory.co.uk) is here to help.

If you're larger on the bust, a dress with a good internal structure will be a must.
