Find The Perfect Wedding Dress For Your Body

First Of All CONGRATULATIONS!

Looking for your dream dress? Start by trying on wedding gowns that work best for your shape. I'm here to help you find the true style that not only flatters but takes out endless hours trying on every style.

I put together an easy style guide to assist in the navigation of choosing your dream gown.

Let's start by identifying your body shape:

The Hour Glass  

• Your hips and shoulders are about the same size, and you have a smaller, well-defined waist
• Best fit – Ball Gown or Mermaid

 The Mermaid 

 A completely figure-flattering silhouette, mermaid wedding gowns remain one of the most popular silhouettes with brides, no matter their bridal style. Hugging the body throughout the bodice, mermaid wedding dresses flare out at the knee, creating a dramatic skirt and train.

  

 The Ball Gown 

The ball gown wedding dress style is perfect for those brides looking for a fairytale wedding dress. This silhouette pairs a fitted bodice with a full skirt. 

While this style can accommodate most body types, the ball gown is ideal for slender or pear-shaped figures as the full skirt helps to accentuate the waist and hide the lower body. If you have a large bust, this style will help to create the hourglass look since it emphasizes the waistline due to the fitted bodice and natural or dropped waist

The Pear

• You are curvy and have full hips and thighs
• Best fit – A-line or Empire

A-Line Dress

The dress flows fluidly from the bust to the hem with an unbroken line. Due to its classic and simple style, the A-line dress is appropriate for any occasion, from a quiet backyard gathering to a traditional church ceremony.

Empire Waist

 

The high waist design is capped off with a piece of fabric that hugs around the mid-section just below the breasts. It is made to emphasize the breast area of the body without being too sexy or revealing.









The Apple

• You have broader shoulders and more narrow hips
• Best fit –A-Line or Tea-Length

Tea-Length

There’s something about tea-length that is so feminine and girly. The epitome of 1950s glamour and elegance, Tea Length wedding dress fall between just below the knee and mid calf. With petticoats of tulle they create a stunning, waist-cinching silhouette, as well as a fun and flirty bridal look. Whilst perfect for a more relaxed and even rustic wedding, they can also look sophisticated for a city hall wedding, and just as lovely for a vintage infused classic wedding!

The Rectangle 

• Known as “rectangle,” your shoulders, waist, and hips are all about the same size
• Best fit – Sheath or A-line

Sheath 

This style fits very closely to the contours of the body from head-to-toe (also known as column style) Similar to the mermaid style, the sheath dress is best worn by lean figures, both short and tall. The elongating nature of this design will help petite brides appear taller. However, the column dress does not allow much room for hiding problem areas, such as a larger lower body. It can conceal minor flaws if you opt for a constructed style that will stay in place, but the slip style will be unforgiving. Also, boxy figures that do not have natural curves may consider accenting the waistline with a separate bodice or sash to create the illusion of a defined waist.

I hope this quick guide helped, and remember this is purely a recommendation.
