Wedding Gowns That Fit Your Body Shape
Bellissima Bridal takes pride in designing and producing wedding dresses that respond to every need of the contemporary bride. We are especially sensitive to current styles and trends in bridal fashion, but we do not forget about more practical aspects of choosing the ideal wedding dress. One such practical consideration of immense important is making sure wedding gowns fit the body shape of their wearers. Every woman wants to highlight her greatest assets on the big day.
So, are you petite, well-endowed, pear-shaped, hourglass or slender?
Petite brides want wedding gowns with long vertical lines so that they appear taller. Drop waist wedding dresses are a bad choice here as they create the opposite effect. A popular style for petites is empire waists as well as sheath and trumpet silhouettes.
If you are well-endowed, a lot depends on how you feature your neckline on your wedding day. Portrait, sweetheart or delicate V necklines are bound to underscore your best attributes in a compelling way. Drop waist wedding dresses will provide a desirable balance for your full frame. Do not experiment with empire waists, though.
What pear-shaped brides need to be looking for is wedding gowns that direct attention to the upper body and away from bulky thighs and hips. Highlighting your neckline or face, especially if you are somebody who loves to smile, can make you truly shine.
Being an hourglass means you need to be cautious about how your wedding dress fits you. It has a direct influence on whether you appear bigger or not. Fabrics that give the piece a sense of rigidity, like satin, are very good for hourglass-shaped brides. A-line pieces can help you appear a little taller and direct attention away from your waist.
A slender body shape requires wedding gowns that boost feminine curves. A mermaid wedding dress or pieces that clearly define your waistline are a popular option. If you are slender, you can also try out empire gowns, open necklines or cutout backs.
