This Guide Will Help You Pick The Perfect Wedding Dress For Your Body Shape

Published

on

There are different types wedding dresses and many brides get confused on what style of dress to go for on their big day.

How do you chose a dress that will suit your body shape and make you look beautiful.

There are at least six of different types body shapes for women and they fall into  – hourglass, slim, petite, apple, pear, and full figure.

Because there are several wedding dresses out there, here is a guide on how you know which suits you best.

Busty Brides

A dress with a Structured off-the-shoulder neckline offers a subtle curve that minimises a large bust. If you love a strapless gown, choose one that has a slight dip along the neckline, like a sweetheart, rather than a style that goes straight across

Petite Brides

Petite Brides should avoid dresses with a dropped waist and ball gowns.  A gown that is fitted to your body and then flares at either the lower hip or knee gives the illusion of height. Find a style with a waistline above your natural waist, to make the lower half of the dress (and therefore you) appear longer. Look for Trumpet, sheath, and modified A-line gowns.

Hourglass Brides

Showcase your beautiful curves and go for gowns that gradually flares out in an A formation from the natural waist to the floor, highlighting the narrowness of the mid section and floating away from the hips and thighs, a dress that accentuates your curves well.

Plus-Sized Brides

A plus sized bride should not be trying too hard to hide or bury her curves. An Empire dress that begins just under the bust and flows into a gradual floor-length A-line.

Tall Brides

The strategy for this is to emphasize your natural shape, so every aspect of the dress needs to reflect your height. The most flattering styles for a tall bride are fit and flare gowns. These fitted looks highlight the long lines of the bride and compliment her figure in every way.

Pear Shaped Brides

If you’re smaller on top and curvier on the bottom, you are considered pear-shaped. A pear-shaped bride will never fail to look stunning in a ballgown or A-line silhouette. Go down for a gown that gradually flares out from the waist to the floor highlighting the narrowness of the midriff. A thin strap V-neck will help to enhance the lean features of the upper body.
