How to choose a wedding dress for your body shape
It’s the big day. You want to look your very best. But more importantly, you must TO FEEL like a million dollars walking down that aisle to your love.
It’s party time. The day has come when you can marry your beloved and become a woman. It is also a moment where you are central. A chance to show those important people in your life the very best of who you are.
Choosing the right dress is all about making sure you look and feel really sensational. The goal should be to find one that shows the best of your personality and your figure. I often get people asking what kind of wedding dress would suit their (and because I’m getting married in ten sleeps, eek!) body shape.
Trust your inner style personality first and foremost. Your gut will tell you what you really love and what you don’t. Your wedding day is the best excuse ever to go all out. Live your dream and wear the dress that really makes your heart sing. Always let your personality shine, but balance that with a style that flatters your figure. This will not only make you look beautiful, but also make you feel comfortable and happy all day long.
So here’s how to choose a wedding dress that fits your body shape…
Wedding Dresses for a Delightful Rectangle
You are a lady with shoulders and hips that are the same width. You have a small to medium bust, a thicker waist but a flat stomach and slim legs and arms.
- Show off your beautiful slender limbs and focus on a wedding dress style with a wider shoulder line to make your waist look slimmer and give you more shape.
- The most flattering way to create a waistline is to choose a dress with a tie, ruffles, or a fitted or detailed waistband.
- Focus on dress skirts with a sleek pencil shape or A-line to give you curves.
Wedding dresses for a radiant round
You are a beautiful girl with broad shoulders and a fuller upper body, a prominent bust and a round stomach.
- Choose a wedding dress with straight long lines that taper at the waist to elongate your torso.
- Avoid anything that is too sticky or bulky around your waist.
- Empire line dresses are great for you because they draw attention to your face.
- Go for a flat waistband on the dress skirt as this will smooth out a rounder tummy
Wedding dresses for a hot hourglass
You are a chica with a narrow waist and medium shoulders and thighs, a rounded bust and hips.
- Go for a wedding dress with a fitted waist to show off your slim waist and curves.
- A sweetheart, diamond or plunging neckline are great options to enhance your plunging neckline and lengthen your torso.
- Avoid blouses with ruffles and lots of details around the bust, these will hide your amazing curves, making you look bigger and out of proportion.
Wedding dresses for a tantalizing triangle
You are a fabulous woman with narrow shoulders, a neat bust and a slim waist with fuller hips and thighs.
- To best flatter your shape, your wedding dress should emphasize your top half to balance out a fuller lower body.
- A dress with a wide neckline or deep V and/or cap or puff sleeves and a cinched waist is very flattering.
- Aim for an A-line in the dress skirt.
- Avoid anything that hangs over your hips and thighs, as this can make your hips appear larger than they actually are.
Wedding Dresses for an Incredible Inverted Triangle
You are a girl with broad shoulders, a prominent bust and a short torso with slim hips, legs and thighs.
- Choose a dress that gathers at the hips with a voluminous skirt, patterns and embellishments to balance out your fuller torso.
- Keep it simple, elegant and non-fussy on top.
- Halter necks and deep V-necklines show off your beautiful bust and elongate the waist.
- Avoid ruffles, bulky details and busy patterns on your top half.
If you feel 110% fabulous, this is the dress for you. Gnawing doubts need to be addressed and thought through, so don’t feel pressured by an extremely attentive boutique owner. Work it through your head and use a checklist to decide if it fits your style personality and flatters your body shape. Good luck sweetie and have a great wedding day!
