Brides-to-be won't settle for less, especially when it comes to the wedding gown. Depending on the couple's budget, the bridal gown may be the fourth largest expense following the reception, wedding cake, and honeymoon. Apart from the budget, brides start working on their dream gown by figuring out the perfect dress to flatter their figures.
The bridal gown should reflect the wedding theme; it could be a beaded outfit in silk and lace befitting a formal or traditional wedding, or a tea-length modest dress for a simple exchange of "I dos" before the parson.
But whatever the wedding theme, it is best to do some research on the perfect fitting wedding gown or dress to match your figure and the wedding. There are several dress shapes to hide the flaws and flatter the figure. The following silhouettes are:
* The sheath is form fitting and highlights every curve and accent of your figure.
* The princess cut is an A-line cut preferred to show off a slim bodice and falls in soft folds in a full skirt.
* The empire cut is form-fitting at the top and starts to fall under the bust line. This is the perfect cut for the bride who is expecting the stork early.
* The low-waist gown is perfect for the fairy tale gown with fitting long sleeves.
With the shapes of the bridal gown decided, it would be easy to decide the length of the dress - cathedral length with a train for traditional weddings, floor length to be embellished with beads for a formal feel, or tea length for outdoor weddings.
The sleeves should also be considered carefully - strapless, off-the-shoulder, long-sleeves, or cap sleeves. Whatever the sleeve type selected, the embellishments and the cut add to the formal or informal appeal of the wedding gown.
Body Types and Dress Silhouettes
If you're deciding on a wedding gown, determine your body type before getting a bridal gown off the rack or having one customized for you. The female figure spans the following:
* Hour glass figure - would do well with gowns that show off the waist. The ball gown and or a corseted dress present the figure in the best light.
* Full waist - the drop waist and attractive neckline can draw attention away from the waistline.
* Pear-shape - A-line cut will disguise wide hips.
Tall women will do well in ball gowns, A-line, and empire cuts, while the petite ladies should pick out light fabrics and simple cuts without much distraction so as not to overwhelm their stature.
Accessories and Hairstyles
It is a rule that when a dress is simple, accessorize. Jewelry, tiaras, gloves, and shoes should be selected with care to complement the dress; the hairstyle, too, should complete the perfect picture.
For your hairstyle and make-up, a professional's advice should be sought before the wedding. Make it clear that you'd like to look as natural as you can with or without artificial lights for those perfect shots on video and digital camera. Indeed, your bridal gown happily dictates the shape of things to come.
A geometry tutor has a particularly difficult job. While algebra is often said to be the first truly abstract mathematical discipline that most students encounter, geometry (which is usually taught the year after algebra is taught) requires that the student begin learning to apply the relatively abstract concepts learned in algebra to real life problems involving shapes and volumes.
Geometry is a very applied mathematical science and, as such, any college or university program in the natural sciences or engineering will require students to be well versed in geometry as well as its more advanced cousin, trigonometry.
The effective geometry tutor must be able to help the math student bridge the chasm between the abstract and the concrete. Geometry in many ways is a precursor of trigonometry and calculus in that it requires students to think both in the abstract as well as the concrete. The effective geometry tutor must also deal with the fact that students who are studying geometry must use formulae that they are not yet able to derive (most of the formulae used in geometry can only be derived using calculus).
This means that geometry requires much more memorization than any other mathematical discipline, with the possible exception of trigonometry. A fundamental part of learning geometry is committing to memory the formulae for calculating the area of (shapes, square, rectangles, triangles, rhombuses, etc.) as well as the volume of certain solids (spheres, cones, cubes, etc.).
Whereas a calculus student could calculate these values on the fly by applying the principles of integration, the average geometry student has not yet been exposed to calculus and must commit to memory the formulae for all of the shapes and solids.
A good idea for the geometry tutor is to use flash cards and mnemonics to help the students retain the many formulae that they must memorize. Another helpful tip for the geometry tutor is to make sure that they are familiar with the many geometrical proofs that the student will have to learn. Geometrical proofs are a fundamental component of geography, and the geography teacher should make sure that his or her student has a firm grasp of this important part of the study of geometry.
Geometry is a notoriously difficult subject for some students to learn since it combines the concrete and the abstract. It is also very difficult because there is more memorization involved in geometry than in perhaps any other mathematical subject. A good geometry tutor will help the student overcome both of these difficulties by focusing on both the concepts as well as the formulae of geometry.
As far as the calculating goes, geometry is no more difficult than algebra. The hard part for the geometry tutor is teaching the student how to learn exactly what should be calculated.
