I want to make the guests' reception the axis of my dress selection*
When choosing a wedding dress or colored dress, you may have the feeling of wanting to choose a dress that you think looks good on you, but also want to select a dress that “I want the guests to think suits me well.”
But from the perspective of the guests,
what kind of dress design is perceived as “suitably beautiful on the bride”?
From an outsider's viewpoint (third-person perspective), here is what is generally said about how to choose a dress that is considered suitable!*
How to Choose a Dress That is Said to Look Good①
<Cleanliness is the most important>
First and foremost, to give a wonderful first impression of “cute! beautiful! looks good!” when seeing the bride, cleanliness is key.
Even if your usual image is that of a messy character or a playful person,
on your wedding day, it’s best to choose a dress that leans towards a pure image and meets everyone’s expectations of “〇〇-chan as a bride.”*

<It’s better to match with your usual image>
This is often talked about when it comes to choosing colored dresses.
If you are a bride whose usual fashion is simple and casual,
you are more likely to be told “looks good! cute!” in a dress that has a classical and elegant image rather than a frilly design with lots of pink and huge ribbons.
On the other hand, if you usually wear very girly clothes,
you are often told “that’s so you!” in cute dresses with lots of flowers or voluminous tulle rather than a tight mermaid dress.
Often, when people get lost in their dress selection,
I hear voices saying, “This dress is cute and I really like it, but I’m wondering if I should choose it because it’s not surprising for the guests…”
However, that only means that it’s a good match with the dress!*
If you prioritize being told “it suits you!” over surprise, then you can confidently choose that dress♡

<Choose a design that is slightly younger>
Choosing a design that is slightly younger helps avoid looking older.
It’s not about picking a childish design,
but it’s important to “not choose a design that is more mature than you are.”*
Important images for the bride include:
☑ Purity
☑ Freshness
And so on.
There’s no need to force yourself to look younger, but it is advisable to avoid combinations that might make you look older.
