Wedding Dresses for Every Body Shape

Your body shape determines what type of wedding dress is going to fit you most. On this special day you surely want to highlight your greatest attributes and forget about any imperfections you do not like. Bellissima Bridal has bridal collections with wedding dresses for every body shape.

If you are petite, you want a wedding gown with long vertical lines to create an impression you are taller. Avoid drop waist wedding dresses as they can make your legs look even shorter. An empire waist is a popular style with petite brides, as are sheath and trumpet silhouettes.

For well-endowed brides, the neckline can make or break their appearance on the big day. Sweetheart, portrait or modest V necklines are sure to highlight your assets in an endearing way. Empire waists are a no-go area. Drop waist wedding gowns can provide a welcome balance for your busty frame.

Being pear-shaped means you need to look for wedding dresses that concentrate on your upper body and gloss over large-than-usual hips and thighs. Choose models that attract the attention to your neckline or face, especially if you are a smiling type.

If you are an hourglass, be extra careful with how your wedding dress fits as it has an influence on whether you look bigger or not. Rigid fabrics, like satin, are often recommended for hourglass-shaped brides. To look a bit taller and direct attention away from your waist goes for A-line pieces.

Having a slender body shape needs some effort to strengthen your feminine curves. Mermaid wedding dresses or anything else that nicely defines your waistline is a good choice. Empire gowns, open necklines or cutout backs are good for this type of silhouette too.
