We as women all come in every shape and size possibly known to man. For this reason no one should try to squeeze into a bridal gown that is not right for their own body type. Bridal gowns come in all shapes and sizes as we do, so as long as you take the time to find the right fit you can’t go wrong. We are going to discuss a few different body types in this article and what type of bridal gowns will look best on each type.
If you have a pear shaped body as many women do, you should choose dresses that flow into an A frame from the waist down. This is going to help to hide your hips and legs and keep the focus on your waist. All women can be beautiful in their bridal gown, every shape and size included!
If you are bigger up top and you want to down size that fact you should look for a wedding gown that features a scooped neckline. Be sure not to show too much cleavage however as this can backfire by causing even more attention to be placed on your top half. You want to choose a dress that opens up your chest but does not allow your “girls” to flop out. The attention you want from a dress such as this is attention to your face, not your chest. There is a fine line here, so be careful to work with a well informed bridal specialist to find just the right gown for you.
If you are a larger woman you will want to search for a bridal gown that has an empire cut. This type of dress flows out from under the breast area into an A line. By doing this you tummy will be well hidden under the dress. Be sure that your dress does not have any pleats as pleats can cause you to look heavier than you actually are.
If you have a small chest you should look for a dress that has extra fabric and bulk in the chest area. This will help to make you look as if you have more up there than you actually do. There are many beautiful dresses to be found that will help a flat chest woman feel more confident about the way she looks. It is important not to choose a dress that is strapless or that doesn’t have much material at the top if you suffer from a small bust.
Be sure to wear the right bra no matter which body type you are. This will help the wedding dress to fit you better and for you to look as good as you possibly can.
