Shape shifters: When choosing your dress style, find a waistline that flatters
One of the pointed questions a bride will be asked by a stylist when shopping for a wedding dress: What type of waistline are you looking for? 'The waistline is the foundation of any wedding dress,' said designer Jenny Yoo. 'It's what creates your shape and defines your silhouette. It can give you curves, elongate your torso or create that classic bridal figure, and can completely transform how you look and feel. The right waistline enhances your best features and creates the perfect proportions for your body. This shape is really the key to finding a dress that's truly flattering.' 7 This crepe sheath wedding dress, 'Jace' by Maggie Sottero, has exposed boning and a soft basque waist accented by draped fabric. Starting at $1,900, Seng Couture, 934 US Route 22, North Plainfield, NJ. Seng Couture Advertisement The waistline styles to consider include natural, empire (which hits just below the bust), basque (where the bodice has a tight cinch and ends in a V- or U-shaped dip), drop (the skirt starts below the natural waist), asymmetrical (runs diagonally rather than horizontally) and princess cut (where there's no defined seam at the waist). 7 Watters' 'Aries' gown features strands of beads embroidered throughout the natural waist, an A-line silhouette with a V-neckline and removable flutter sleeves. Available lined (unlined shown above). Starting at $3,038, the White Gown, 62 Grand St., Floor 4. The White Gown 'Waistlines aren't universally flattering, so it's important to try on different silhouettes and styles to figure out which waistline will work best for your body,' said bridal stylist Julie Sabatino, owner of the Stylish Bride. Advertisement Corinne Pierre-Louis said that natural waistlines flatter most brides. 'They work well with a variety of skirt styles, from full ballgowns to slim A-lines,' said the bridal stylist. 'This makes them a versatile option that suits a wide range of heights, shapes and sizes.' Sabatino favors princess-cut gowns, which she said are 'flattering on all body types, because there isn't a break and they have a long and lean line.' 7 A modern sheath, 'Erin' by Madison James is cut from mikado silk and features a cat-eye strapless neckline and delicate asymmetrical ruching at the waist. $1,579, Adrienne's, 140 W. 36th St., Floor 2. Adrienne's 7 The 'Danielle' is a collaboration between Jenny Yoo and bridal stylist Hope LaVine. The corseted bodice has a high-peaked scoop neckline and a voluminous gathered ball skirt with a basque waist and bow-sash detail. $4,500, Jenny Yoo, 139 W. 35th St., Floor 12. Jenny Yoo Advertisement Pierre-Louis recommended empire or natural waistlines for petite brides, since they can create the illusion of height, and drop- or basque-waist designs for brides looking to accentuate their curves. 'Both draw attention to the hips and create a more sculpted shape. It's all about proportion, balance and confidence,' she said. Basque waistlines are having a moment for the first time in decades. 'The basque is not new,' explained Mark Ingram, designer of Mark Ingram Bride and owner of Mark Ingram Atelier. 'It is a historical design feature from centuries ago, and became popular again in bridal design in the 1980s and '90s. It feels new again because the natural-waisted gowns have been more the norm since the late 1990s.' 7 'Marigold' by House of Idan has a sweetheart neckline and a natural-waist overskirt that's a sparkler, adorned with handcrafted 3D floral elements, beads and sequins. $6,500, Jaxon James, 365 Broadway. Jaxon James Advertisement 7 Mark Ingram Bride's 'Angelique' silk white mikado strapless fitted mermaid gown has an inverted basque waist with a deep-V crumb-catcher neckline. Available in white and ivory. $6,290, Mark Ingram Atelier, 515 Madison Ave., Floor 2. Madison Aycoth The corseted basque waists have caught the attention of today's bridal designers 'because it's super feminine, sexy and slightly edgy,' said Ingram. 'It looks new. And most importantly, the longer exaggerated torso created by the basque and accompanied by the corsetry are extremely figure-flattering to all body types. Whether tall or petite, boyish or curvy, the corset and basque waist create a very dramatic and shapely effect.' A drop-waist gown can bring attention to your hips to create or enhance curves. 7 'Adaline' by Sareh Nouri is a radzimir fabric gown with draped detailing on the off-the-shoulder neckline and the bodice. The slim flare skirt has an asymmetrical waist and flounce detailing. $5,990, Sareh Nouri, 2115 Town Center Way, Livingston, NJ. Sarah Bradshaw Photography 'A dropped waistline sits lower on the body, often resting around the upper hip,' said Sabatino. 'But petite brides may want to stay away from a dropped waist gown because it can make your bottom half look shorter.' An asymmetrical waistline can be created through draping, design elements or the position of the bodice. 'Designers will often accent an asymmetrical waistline with ruching to ensure it will flatter the bride wearing it,' said Sabatino. However, 'never be a 'slave to fashion,' especially on your wedding day,' warned Ingram. 'Wear what you think is the most flattering, not what is 'of the moment' or trending heavily on social media. Do you!' Yoo advised brides to keep an open mind and try on different styles. 'I've seen many brides discover their perfect dress had a waistline they never considered,' she said.

Texas A&M fans celebrate Jace LaViolette's historic college career
Texas A&M fans celebrate Jace LaViolette's historic college career It's unofficially official that Texas A&M junior outfielder Jace LaViolette's playing days in the Maroon & White have ended. With him projected as a top-15 pick, MLB is calling his name, and he hears it loud and clear, posting his farewell message to Aggieland on social media. We all knew this day was coming. Even with hope that NIL deals could persuade him to stay, the writing was on the wall after his breakout freshman year, his draft entry was inevitable. So, it's best to wish him well and cherish the memorable moments he gave fans over three years. The All-American leaves A&M as the career leader in home runs (68), walks (169), and ranks third in RBIs (202). Even after a challenging season, he finished the year on his terms. After suffering a broken hand from a pitch in the SEC tournament, he could've easily shut it down without second thoughts. However, he fought through the pain, returned the next day, and collected a few hits against a strong LSU pitching staff. For the extremely optimistic Aggie fans, there's a .01% chance LaViolette has a change of heart, declines his MLB contract, and returns to A&M. Anything can happen, but for now, we wish Jace a successful and healthy pro career. Below are some of the reactions to Jace LaViolette's farewell post to Texas A&M fans. Jace will be missed One of the best to ever do it Thanks for the good times Jace It's going to take a lot to make Jace miss a game The talent was undeniable from the beginning Aggie legend Lord Tubbington set the standard for the new generation of Aggies MLB Bound Proud Jace decided to join the Aggie family No. 17 rewrote the record books There is not a dry eye on X Jace won't be forgotten anytime soon Contact/Follow us @AggiesWire on X and like our page on Facebook to follow ongoing coverage of Texas A&M news, notes and opinions.

ROMCON: Who the F**k is Jason Porter? OTT Release Date - When and where to watch chilling true crime documentary
ROMCON: Who the F**k is Jason Porter? OTT Release Date - It starts like every modern love story: a meet-cute on a dating app, charming texts, weekend getaways, and whispered dreams about forever. But what Heather Rovet didn't know was that she wasn't dating a man. She was dating a mirage - a con, a criminal, a chameleon. ROMCON: Who the F**k is Jason Porter? is the two-part docuseries that dares to ask the question every ghosted, gaslit, and gutted dater has wondered at least once: Who the f**k was I really talking to? This is a true crime documentary starting to stream from June 13 on Prime Video. This isn't catfish. This is war. Heather Rovet is not your typical victim. She's a successful real estate broker in Toronto. Smart, self-made, fiercely independent. So when she fell for a guy named 'Jace,' a laid-back handyman who seemed oddly perfect, she thought she'd finally hit the dating jackpot. For three whole years, she believed the fantasy: texts, cuddles, birthday cakes, the works. But the fairy tale cracks wide open when she discovers 'Jace' isn't Jace. He's Jason Porter, a man with a rap sheet long enough to wrap around the CN Tower. He's been in and out of jail, and the name he gave her? Completely fake. If this were a movie, you'd scream at the screen. But this is real. And Heather isn't staying silent. Real love, real lies and real consequences What makes ROMCON hit different is that it's not just about Heather finding out the truth. It's about what she does next. The woman grabs a metaphorical detective's badge and goes on a hunt, not just for Jason, but for the other women he's duped. Spoiler: there are a lot. Across two unflinching episodes, we watch her build a case. She pieces together his lies, talks to other victims, and lays bare a trail of emotional devastation that spans provinces. And the worst part? Jason Porter isn't some shadowy monster. He's a smiling, beer-drinking, boy-next-door. That's what makes this terrifying. Directed by Henry Roosevelt (The Vow, Take Care of Maya) and produced by Blink49 Studios, the series is backed by Amazon MGM Studios. Watch ROMCON: Who the F**k is Jason Porter? then maybe… delete that dating app for a while.

Toronto family ‘devastated' after 3 kids killed in alleged drunk driving crash
The family of three Toronto children who were killed in an alleged drunk driving crash says they are 'utterly devastated' as they plan a funeral for the victims later this month. Ramone Lavina, 15, his younger brother Jace, 13, and their six-year-old sister Mya died in a collision on May 18 that Toronto police allege was caused by an impaired teen driver. The family's lawyer confirmed a publication ban on the children's identities was lifted on Thursday. Police have said the crash happened shortly after midnight at the eastbound off-ramp at Renforth Drive and Highway 401. They said a 19-year-old behind the wheel of a Dodge Caravan was allegedly speeding as he exited the highway, lost control, went over a raised median and slammed into a Chrysler Pacifica minivan that was stopped at a red light. Inside the minivan were a mother, her four children and a male acquaintance of the family, police said. Story continues below advertisement Ramone and Jace were pronounced dead at the scene, while Mya was rushed to hospital but died a short time later.

The Lavina-Galve family said they are reeling from the 'unimaginable tragedy,' and they thanked the first responders, hospital staff and community members who have provided support. 'Although we remain utterly devastated, we are now in the process of planning the funeral for our three dear children, which is something no parent should ever have to endure,' the family said in a statement through their lawyer. An online obituary says a funeral for the children is scheduled for June 14. Police said 19-year-old Ethan Lehouillier of Georgetown, Ont., was arrested at the scene of the crash and faces 12 charges, including three counts of impaired driving causing death and three counts of impaired driving causing bodily harm. The allegations have not been tested in court. Jim Cantos, a family friend, said in an interview after the crash that the Lavina siblings were 'tight-knit.' He said he's known the Lavina family for years — the children's father, Maverick Lavina, is an old friend of his sister's, and they went to high school together. Story continues below advertisement 'The kids were very respectful,' said Cantos, who coached Ramone at Toronto Future Phenom, a basketball training program in Scarborough. 'Whenever Ramone came to practice, his siblings were there as well, cheering him on. I believe they did everything together.' Cantos said the Lavinas are Filipino Canadian and he'd heard from many in the community who are shaken by the news. He said the family is well-liked in the community. 'The Filipino community is hit hard by this,' he said, adding it's been a tough time for Filipino Canadians, especially after the late April tragedy at a Filipino street festival in Vancouver, where 11 people were killed after an SUV rammed into a crowd. 'Filipinos, we move as a group… We are very tight family-wise and community-wise,' said Cantos. 'No parent wants to go through something as tragic as burying their own kid. That's something that a kid does to their parents, not the other way around.'
