How To Choose Your Wedding Dress
Pear
If you are a pear shape, you need to emphasise your upper body. A V neckline or a fitted bodice will show off your slender waist, and draw the eye upwards. Look for a skirt that flares out from the waist so that it highlights your narrow waist, and skims past your hips and thighs.
Apple
You want to create a waist line so find a dress that cinches in at the smallest point of your waist and then skims past your lower body. Ruching and lace detail on the bodice will help camouflage your largest area. Look for a deep V neckline that will draw the eye down, emphasising your waistline and beautiful silhouette.
Rectangle
You need to create curves so try a dress that is cut on the bias; the curving side seam will give a gorgeous silhouette. Alternatively, a ball gown with a full, flowing skirt will show off your slender waist, and give you some beautiful curves.
Hourglass
If you’re an hourglass, you need to show off your figure. Work with your waist line and opt for more fitting styles, like the mermaid style. Add a belt or sash to your waist to draw attention to your waist; any excuse to wear more bling!
Inverted Triangle
You need to draw attention away from your broad shoulders so try a deep cut neckline that will draw the eye down, and emphasis your waist and hips with added details like beading or a sash. This will balance out your shoulders with your hip area.
I hope you have found this useful! My number one tip when bridal dress shopping is to take along some close friends or family who you know will be honest with you. Take photos in your favourite dresses, and after a week, have a look at the photos, you will be surprised which one may now be your favourite!
