Tips on Choosing a Dress for Your Body


Plan ahead that's the key, this will give you plenty of time to make a selection and time for alterations if the particular gown you have your heart set on needs adjusting. Also choosing the right fabric is important. Specific materials can influence the style of a wedding dress. Ask the wedding consultant about this if you are not certain. 

Full Figure Bride
If you're a woman with a full figure, the finest shape is the A-line style. A-line style elongates the whole body without attracting attention to the waistline.  Women who worry over having a fat belly (wide waist) would do themselves a favor by considering this style. The empire design is another ideal choice. The style of the empire narrows just below the bust which helps hide the waist and hips if these are problem areas you tend on working with. 

A lot of plus-sized girls tend to panic because of their shape, and buy a wedding dress to cover every bit of flesh; this is sad and doesn't have to be. By doing this you are not really getting what you want and may live to regret never wearing the dress of your dreams to get married in. You can look every bit as sexy and desirable showing skin like the next woman. You must build up confidence and don't bring yourself down when choosing a wedding dress. Deep V-necks and scoop necks flatter curvy rounded figures. Ask the bridal shop assistant for advice on what is best suited for your shape and size. These women are specialists in helping make any bride look beautifully stunning in her wedding dress.

The Petite Bride
A-line wedding dresses although mentioned as ideal for the full figured woman, is also a popular design so becoming on petite women also. The A-line style lengthens the body. Small petite women should avoid sheath-style wedding gowns. Full skirts are a no go because they can have you appear bottom heavy which is not what you want. Choose another selection which is more flattering for the petite size and shape. Small short elfin lookalike girls have to be wary about strapless gowns. The dress is a garment worn for the best part of the wedding day up until ready to leave for honeymoon. They'll most likely be a lot of stretching done to kiss her husband and well wishers...making a strapless wedding gown an uncomfortable choice to wear when exchanging wedding vows.

Large-Busted Bride
Are you top heavy and think you will look stupid in your wedding dress because of your big boobs? Ask yourself how many other brides have you seen with big breasts that look lovely in their wedding dress? And do you know why this is - because they chose a style to compliment their shape and size and big bust. You too can look glamorous in your wedding gown if you do the same. Off-the-shoulder gowns look fabulous on a full bust. Off-the-shoulder designs emphasize the shoulders and lessen the chest. Keep the skirt narrow though.  A full skirt will do an injustice and spoil the look you wish to achieve. 

Bottom-Heavy
Is your bum big and it concerns you? Are you finding it hard to choose a wedding dress that won't show off your fat bum to much? Women who are larger and carry more weight around their hips and bottom should go for a design that centers on the upper body - possibly with a full skirt.  The trick here is to take bigness way from the bum and flaunt some flesh (arms back and bust.) A good and pretty elegant choice is a corset-style bodice with lacing. Too much gathering of fabric around the waist and pleated folds is not ideal for what you want to do.
