You said “Yes” to your partner’s proposal and now it is time to say “Yes” to your wedding dress!
When shopping for the most important dress, the first thing you should consider is its silhouette and how flattering it will compliment your body shape. To help you understand the dos and don’ts for every figure, we have prepared a guide to finding the perfect wedding dress for each body type.
Straight/Athletic
Straight and athletic body types can be divided into two sub-categories: lean column and rectangle. In both cases, the A-line silhouette works perfectly, especially if it has a defined waistline. Dresses with this silhouette have fitted bodice and gradually flaring skirt part. Accessories such as a belt visually divide the upper and lower parts of the dress and accentuate the waistline.
Pear
This is one of the most widespread female body types. Women with a pear body shape tend to have fuller hipline and a smaller bust. The best way to embrace your figure is to go for a wedding dress that highlights your waistline.
Hourglass
No one can rock a mermaid silhouette as good as women with an hourglass figure. Dresses with mermaid silhouette hug every inch of your body and highlight your to-die-for curves.
Apple
If you are an Apple-shaped bride, then we would recommend you to avoid dresses with column and trumpet silhouettes. Princess or ball gown silhouette is perfect for complimenting your figure. Going for a dress with embroidered corset will flatter your bust line and highlight your waistline.
