Choosing the right dress involves many factors like budget, venue, theme, and bridal style that
you love! However, do you know which silhouette of wedding gown is most suitable for your
body? While finding the perfect dress for your body type is not an exact science, there are
proven ways to make you feel like a million bucks in the dress you choose. Your confidence and
your body's proportions have more to do with this than your size or weight, and our team at
Modern Brides in Huntsville believes that our brides should wear whatever makes them feel
beautiful - there are no rules! However, if you’d like some tips on what silhouette can enhance
your features, read on for more information!
Hourglass Body Types
|
|
A person with an hourglass shape has a relatively even waist and hips and shoulders. For this
body type, a mermaid dress is the best choice, since it's designed to accentuate, rather than
accentuate, your curves.
Triangle Body Types
|
|
You may also be called a pear shape if your hips are larger than your shoulders. A-line
silhouettes, which are designed to create a slimming effect around your waist, are best suited to
the body type, since it carries most of its volume on its lower half.
Inverted Triangle Body Types
|
|
An inverted triangle shape is one in which your shoulders are wider than your hips. A ball gown
is a great silhouette for this body type because it has a full, fluttering skirt. Ball gowns amplify
the balance of your proportions by adding volume to your lower half.
Rectangle Body Types
|
|
A rectangle body type is characterized by uniform hips, shoulders, bust, and waist
measurements. A-line dresses, ball gowns, and fit and flare silhouettes can accentuate curves
in this body type.
Apple Body Types
|
|
It's likely that you have an apple body type if you are curvy and have a less defined waistline.
A-line wedding dresses are also a great option for apple-shaped bodies.
