Choosing a wedding dress for your body type

Not everyone has a perfect body to wear any kinds of wedding dress, thus choosing a dress that suits your body shape is absolutely necessary for the bride. Let us help you find your most beautiful dress for this rare moment of life.  

1. Pear shape.

A pear-shaped body has small waist and carry more weight around the hips, bum and thighs, making a beautiful line from waist to bum, but it loses its balance with the thin shoulders and small bust. 

Enhance your neckline and hide your hips in sabrina neckline and/ or puff sleeves dress to make the body more balance. 

Wedding dress suggestions:

Ball gown: this princess-like dress is flattering on all body types, a safe choice. You just have to choose the right neckline and sleeves. But remember not to choose V-neck, it will make your upper flaw more obvious.

Empire dress: with high waistlines, right under the bust and the soft straight flowing skirt help make the body seem thinner and taller. This style specially matches with pear-shaped body.

A-line dress: A-line skirts that flare and cinched waist are a good way to add volume that will decrease the size of your hips, drawing the attention to your small waist. Combining with sabrina neckline it enhances the classic charm for the bride. 

Mermaid/ Trumpet dress: those who want a little bit sexy and glamour can still choose these 2 styles if you want to show the booty line. Just have some trick to your bosom and you are good to go. 

2. Apple Shape.

If your body is apple shape, you have large breasts, small hip and mainly weigh around waist, don't have nice curve. You should choose dresses that can redefine your body line.  

The V-neckline make the upper feel slimmer when  detract attention from the widest part of your waist. Sweetheart neckline also works well. The dress should made of satin, chiffon, avoiding pattern on shoulders, burst and say no to high neck, sabrina, plunging and scoop neckline. 

Wedding dress suggestions:

Ball gown: the full skirt conceal the small hips, the fitted bodice helps camouflage the stomach area. Together with the right neckline, the gown finely flaunts your burst and creates a waist line, balancing your figure. 

Empire: high waistline (especially cinched one) with deep neckline will accentuate your breast and elongate your figure. 

A-Line gown: Like ball-gown, the dress easily hide and show the right part but have more of elegant and soft look. You can choose between the 2 styles as your like. 

3. Rectangular:

You have a thin body but small bottom and less curvy in waist. The point is to create the illusion of curves. Prioritize the design that have special pattern (such as embroidery or 3D ones) or cut-out.

Wedding dress suggestion:

Tight-fitting dress will make you slender. Elegant sheath dresses cut on the bias or bust-enhancing necklines create curves where none exist. A cinched waist dress, one with slightly puffier skirts, will similarly capitalize on your small waist and create volume. Try ones made of soft fabric, naturally flow down with a belt.

A-line: Focuse on the curve of the upper body.

Empire: with halter strap nechline create a grace and delicate look.

Sheath gown: the rectangular body is the most suitable shape with this dress. The sheath or column wedding dress has a long, slim silhouette that follows the body’s natural line without flaring out. bringing out the elegant, classy look. 

4. Hour-glass shape. 

With flat stomache and ideal figures, it is easy to pick out a right dress. You can have any style you want, depending on which part you want to accentuate. Of course mermaid dress will do the best work to show off your body. 

Trumpet (similar to mermaid but have higher flaring) or sheath gown will be neater and easier to moves.
