How to choose the perfect wedding dress for your body type
Choose the dress that makes you feel beautiful
Choosing the perfect wedding dress is such a fun experience for you and your friends and family, but it can also be a bit of a challenge, especially when considering all the different styles and designs available. Often you will have something specific in mind until a bridal consultant brings you something out of left field and it looks amazing. You want to find a dress that flatters your figure so that you feel confident and beautiful on your special day. In this blog post, we'll explore how to choose the perfect wedding dress for your body type.
Pear-shaped body: If you have a pear-shaped body, you'll want to choose a dress that accentuates your waistline and flatters your hips. A-line dresses and ball gowns are perfect for this body type. Avoid dresses with a lot of volume on the bottom, such as mermaid or trumpet styles.
Hourglass-shaped body: An hourglass-shaped body typically has a defined waistline, so you'll want to choose a dress that shows off your curves. Mermaid or trumpet styles are perfect for this body type. Avoid dresses with too much volume on the bottom, as they can overpower your curves.
Apple-shaped body: An apple-shaped body tends to carry weight around the midsection, so you'll want to choose a dress that creates a slimming effect. Empire waist dresses and A-line dresses are perfect for this body type. Avoid dresses with a lot of volume on the bottom, as they can add extra weight to the midsection.
Athletic-shaped body: If you have an athletic-shaped body, you'll want to choose a dress that creates curves and adds femininity. Ball gowns and A-line dresses with a fitted bodice are perfect for this body type. Avoid dresses with straight, boxy lines.
Petite body: If you have a petite body, you'll want to choose a dress that elongates your figure. A-line dresses and sheath dresses are perfect for this body type. Avoid dresses with a lot of volume, as they can overwhelm your small frame.
Tall body: If you have a tall body, you'll want to choose a dress that shows off your height. Ball gowns and A-line dresses are perfect for this body type. Avoid dresses with too much volume, as they can add extra height.
Choosing the perfect wedding dress for your body type can be a fun and exciting process. Try some things on you didn’t think you’d like, trust your friends and family (and the bridal consultant) and definitely get it altered so that it fits perfectly. Remember, the most important thing is to feel comfortable and confident on your special day.
