But let’s get back to the dress. Every bride wants to look absolutely breath taking on her wedding day and of course has to be the most beautiful person at her wedding. Finding the perfect wedding dress is definitely possible, all you need to do is find a dress that flatters and accentuates your shape.
What Kind Of Dress Will Fit Your Body?
Wedding gowns come in various shapes and sizes and so does the female body. No matter what your shape or size, you can and will be able to find a dress that looks absolutely flattering and breathtaking.
Finding the perfect dress starts with your body type:
Pear Shaped Figure
If you have a pear shaped body, your hips and shoulders are bigger than the rest of your body and your legs are full or muscular. Princess gowns that are lined are perfect for pear shaped figures. Also wear a long chapel veil to emphasise and balance your curves.
Hourglass Figure
An hourglass body is accentuated by its small slender waist while the rest of the body is in line. This body type looks gorgeous in a two piece wedding dress or a ball gown as it compliments and emphasises the tiny waist.
Boyish Figure
Boyish figures are very slender and lack the curves that pear-shaped and hourglass figures have. Wearing big puffy ball gowns is a definite no for boyish figured women as this can make it look like you’re trying to hide behind your wedding dress.
Instead opt for dresses that will help create curves along your body like a sleek princess gown or look for something that is lined and beaded across the lines of your body.
Apple Figure
Apple figured women have full chests with little or no waist and this is why it is very important to dress this body in a wedding gown that will help create the illusion of a tiny waist.
Dresses with v-shaped necks and A-line skirts will help to accentuate the apple shapes chest and create a tiny slender waist. You can also opt for a corset which is a great and easy way of making your waist as tiny as possible.
Column Figure
Column width figures tend to be the same shape across the vertical length of their body which creates a column like effect. Women who have column shaped figures are usually very tall and skinny and are also referred to as a pencil shape.
A skirt with tiered layers and a sleek top would look perfect on a pencil body type. There are various different kinds of dresses for this body type and most of them try to create a fuller chest with a long sleek and neat look along the length of the body.
No matter what the shape or size of your body, there definitely is a beautiful dress out there for you, which will make you look and feel like the bride you’ve always dreamed of being.
