Select one of the Designer Wedding Dresses that will flatter your Body

It is one thing to purchase a garment for its beauty and another to wear one that will also make you look and feel good. It is thus worth the time and effort to be considerate of factors such as the weather, your body, budget, the wedding theme, and more when selecting a bridal garment.

Triangular Shape

If your hips are wider than your shoulders and bust, you will want to minimize the attention on the lower part of your body. You, in fact, will want to create an illusion of a wider upper body. To do this, you will want to use the dress style to create height. This can be done by going with an extended waistline. You can also use long sleeves to create the effect and combine it with a wider skirt. By adding a bit of ornamental bodice around the neckline you will have people focus on the upper body. Although full length skirts are ideal for hiding thicker legs and wide hips you should stay clear of bulky type skirts.

Opposite Triangular Shape

If your lower body is not as wide as the upper part of your body, you will want to place the focus on the lower body width. This can be accomplished by going with simple sleeves and a straightforward bodice. For the lower part of your body, select a skirt that has loads of detail as this will draw the attention away from the upper part of your body. You can create a bit of height by going with a drop waist style.  You will not benefit from a high neckline.

Rectangular Shape

This type of shape is characterized by a well defined waistline. You will want to place emphasis on the width and will want to avoid any garment that has many vertical line features embedded. You will want to wear sleeves with more detail and will want to go with open shoulders and neck to create the illusion of a broad shoulder line.

Hourglass Figure

With this type of figure you will have a small waist and larger bust as well as hips. Your aim with the wearing of one of our designer wedding dresses will be to create balance. You will want to emphasize your amazingly small waist and can do so by selecting a well fitted waistline type of garment. You will want to select an A-line type of garment and will want to wear a garment with loads of bodice detail to emphasize the waist and upper part of your body.
