Finding Your Perfect Wedding Dress! (*Hint: Try any style you like on in the store, no matter what your shape. It could end up looking amazing!)
Hourglass: opt for an A-line dress with a dropped or natural waistline that will accentuate your curves. A sweetheart neckline will enhance your cleavage. Similarly, a mermaid cut or fit-and-flare can accentuate your envy-worthy shape! Check out the pictures below to see our suggestions!
Thick waist: An empire-waist can give you a longer leaner look, depending on your height, the dress, et cetera. A corset top can define a waist even better, cinching you in at your narrowest point and providing bust support. It usually looks best if it is not followed by a dropped-waist around the hips. Check out the pictures below for inspiration!
Full-figured: Ballgowns and A-line dresses fit these body types the best by accentuating the narrowness of your waist while skimming over or smoothing any "problem" areas. Check out the pictures below for some gorgeous gowns!
Pear-shaped: A strapless ball gown will focus on the smaller top half of your body. An empire-waist or natural waist dress will accentuate your small top, while a looser bottom can be very flattering. Or, if you do not want to add extra volume to your bottom-half, try a dress that is cut straight down but not "figure-hugging".Check out the pictures below for some suggestions!
Thin: Pretty much any type of dress. A sheath dress or mermaid cut will show off your natural beauty. Check out the pictures below for some breathtaking ideas!
Petite: An A line dress will work well by keeping everything simple, and keeping extra fabric to a minimum. A big gown could be too much for your tiny frame, but try on a few styles to see what looks best with your shape. A structured top will help create the illusion of cleaving or a bigger bust, too, or you could go with an unpadded bust and spaghetti straps. You could even go with a short dress, which works on every body type, but make sure the hem doesn't fall too far below the knee thereby shortening your legs. Check out the pictures below for some lovely suggestions!
Short: A princess or A-line dress will give the illusion of a taller frame. Avoid a tight-fitting dropped-waist skirt, which will only shorten the bottom half of your body. A natural or high waist will do you more justice. Check out the pictures below for some beautiful samples!
Maternity Gowns: If you're showing and tying the knot, you're still going to look beautiful! We say: whatever is the most comfortable and gives you a little bit of a waist and a supported bust is what you should search for.
