“At the end of the day… it is all about selecting a wedding dress/bridal couture which makes you feel totally FAB in it!”
This is perhaps the most rudimentary rule that every to-be-bride should keep in mind when sorting out the right wedding dress as per their body type. There is no scarcity of options in the market. You get wedding dresses in all shapes and sizes. But if you understand your body type and filter your options accordingly, then it won’t take long for you to find the perfect dress to flatter your shape on your biggest day!
For your knowledge, here are 5 body shapes matched by appropriate wedding dress styles which serve each one’s purpose splendidly. Let’s get to it!
1. If You Have An Hourglass Shape
If you are a woman with a trim waist and appeasing hips and busts, then pick couture which properly highlights your curves and hips. How about a custom fit mermaid style gown which neatly highlights your small waist and feminine figure with flare? Supposedly that would make for a good option.
For extra details, look to add a glitzy belt to accentuate your toned waist and attractive jewellery to beautify your wonderful neckline.
2. If You Have a Petite Shape
If you are thin with an under average height, then look to avoid wedding couture which has lots of fabric. Believe it or not, but this is one common error which petite women make when sorting out their gowns. But little do they know that it only overwhelms their small frame and even makes them look a tad awkward.
The wise choice would be to go for dresses with easy flowing fabric which elongates their whole body. You can try out an A-line gown- which is light and airy and has long lines and a straight silhouette. It will make them appear taller.
Alternatively; you can also opt for a trumpet or mermaid-style wedding gown in a straight skirt design – i.e. if you’re aiming for a more fitted look.
For added details; you can consider an empire waist to add more length to your body.
3. If You Are Busty
If you have a smaller frame with attractive hips and a large bust, then try to avoid wedding dresses which reveal your busts, too much. Rather, opt for a couture dress which comes with more structure in the bust area and straps to keep the dress from falling off.
If you’re aiming to balance out your dress proportions; go for ball-gown or A-line couture for adding fullness to your bottom. As for the design details- custom design your wedding dress with square, straight and illusion-lace necklines.
However, if you are a confident woman who doesn’t shy away from a bit of skin-show, then another option could be to go for a subtle V-neck.
4. If You Are Pear-Shaped
If you have big (and desirable) bollocks, but a medium-sized bust, then pick a dress keeping your waist and pear-body shape in mind. A ball gown or an A-line wedding gown will be appropriate to accentuate your waist size without exposing your bottom half. If you think you have a sexy back, then flaunt them with a trumpet style gown.
Suitable detailing may include a drop-waist gown which highlights your curvilinear hip and your well-shaped waist, but which doesn’t excessively emphasise on your bottom part.
5. If You are Plus-Size
Lastly- if you are full-figured from everywhere, then you should pick wedding couture which highlights your curves in all the appropriate places and even veils those concerning areas. A gorgeous custom-design A-line gown will be best to cinch your waist. Its loose skirt will hide anything which you don’t wish to reveal.
As for extra details, opt for a lace-illusion neckline for added sex-appeal.
