Brides come in different shapes and sizes. Whether hour glass, petite or plus sized, there is wedding gown suited specifically for them.
Every bride needs to understand her body shape to make the perfect wedding gown selection. Here is a guide to choosing the perfect wedding gown for your body shape and size:
- For the petite bride
A mermaid wedding gown would help created a tall elongated look. Go for styles with waistline above your natural waist that gives an illusion of being taller. Avoid anything calf length that would make your legs appear shorter.
- For the plus-sized bride
An empire waist dress with skirt below the bust and flows into the gradual floor-length A-line would be ideal. Avoid loose or flowery details that would make you look bigger. Wear satin bridal gowns that provide structure.
- For the apple-shaped bride
A wedding gown that cinches at the smallest point on the waistline is recommended. A ruche or lace detailing the waistline will be fitting and would create a corset-like effect. A V-neck would be appropriate. You should avoid trumpet dress style because they emphasize the area of the body is widest.
- The straight bride
She would be looking to add some curves so go wedding gowns that create curves like the one with added volumes and details at both chest and hips.
