Before you even start trying on those wedding dresses, stop for a minute and think about your own natural body shape. For you to look amazing in your dream wedding dress you need to buy a dress that compliments your body shape.
Below are the main body types with the corresponding wedding dress styles that will help you look like a million dollars on your wedding day.
If you’re a pear shape (bottom heavy) a ball gown style wedding dress would be perfect for you, it will give you a waist and cover those larger hips, on your wedding day, you really do not want to be asking the question “Does my bum look big in this?”.
If your tall and thin, well, frankly you’ve been blessed (even though it doesn’t feel like it when your shopping for clothes!) - You will look fantastic in a slim wedding dress, such as a dress made from satin that skims over your body, highlighting your perfect features to the full.
Petite brides need to stay away from ballroom type wedding dress, you do not want to be a little head poking out from a mountain of white. Also keep away from wedding dresses with dropped waist lines as these will make you look shorter too. A-line or a Princess A-line wedding dresses with natural waistlines will elongate your silhouette making a petite you seem to appear taller.
If your a bit bulkier than you would like around your waist then go for a wedding dress that has a high waistline. Brides with thick waist look their best in empire gowns which have a high waistline. Empire waistlines are usually right below the bust line that flow into long slimming skirts. You would not want to look huge on your wedding day, so stay away from natural waistline wedding dresses such as the A-line or Princess A-line which would emphasize your waist.
If you are one of those lucky woman who have a hourglass figure an A-line wedding dress with a dropped waist would absolutely amazing on you. Show of your best assets with a low cut bodice.
