***Before listing your tips below, add one last sentence that sums up your paragraph or offers a smooth transition to your listicle.
#1 - Short Dresses
Short Dresses are most definitly making a come back. Come on over and join the long legs club and do some showing off. Pick a killer pair of wedding shoes and strut your stuff all night long. Don't let anyone tell you what you can and cannot wear. Its all up to you on your wedding day.
#2 - Ruffles
If your anything like me, deep down you have a wild side. Your heart craves a little something more. You want to stand out in the croud and to draw some attention towards you. Adding ruffles to your dress will most definitly add demotion to your dress. If you add your ruffles to your bodess or blouse all eyes will most definitly be on you. You could add ruffles to your skirt to add additional volume. The ruffles can be any shape or size, big or small. They could cascade down your dress, or line the sides of your sleves. The options are completly endless.
