You could be headed for disappointment if you don’t take into account your body shape and natural assets when you start shopping for a wedding dress.
Choosing the wrong silhouette and style will be a great help to you. It’ll be difficult for you to look at other styles if you’ve set your heart on a particular one, such as an A-line dress, and then have to head in another direction.
Every woman is beautiful and your body shape is uniquely yours, which means it deserves to be celebrated in a wedding dress that highlights everything about your natural body shape and style.
You’ll find that you have to wade through a broad selection of the basic wedding dress silhouettes and styles before you find the right ones for your body shape, which will include styles like empire, ball gown, fishtail or A-line, to mention a few, which makes it worth learning a little about the language of wedding dress silhouettes and specific body types.
A few examples of wedding dress silhouettes and styles:
Ball gown style
Wearing a ball gown will flatter your pear-shape body and flatter brides who are busty. A ball gown will also add curves to a boyish figure, however, if you’re on the petite side, you’ll get lost in the layers and volume of this style of wedding dress.
A-line style
This is another silhouette that flatters a pear-shaped body, narrowing at the top and flaring down to the ground. If you have a lean, athletic shape, you’ll find that this style can contribute to a curvier, more feminine look for your wedding day.
Sheath Style
The sheath is simplicity at its best. Falling from the shoulders straight to the waist this style does give you a few options where it comes to the waistline, but this you can discuss with the team at Ever After Bridal Wear.
Empire Style
A fitted bodice and waistline lies above the natural waistline, if you’re petite, this style with its loosely fitted skirt is perfect for you. If you’re very curvy, this won’t be a good fit for you though.
Mermaid Style
Slim and tailored, this style of wedding dress with a skirt that hugs your curves will make your hourglass figure look stunning!
