Selecting The Perfect Wedding Dress For Your Figure Type

Preparing for the most special day in your life? You want to make sure everything is just perfect. The colors have been chosen, the florist has been selected, the groom has expressed his desires for the wedding. So the only decision left is the most important one of all: selecting the wedding dress. Yes, the decision has to be made. Simply put, the bride is the focus of the wedding day. You want to assure that your attire from head to toe is perfect. Make sure you have put a lot of time and effort in the decision. You will want the wedding dress to accentuate your figure. Not just any dress will do!

The selection should be made with the help of a bridal consultant. Someone who has experience in preparing the bride for this day. While deciding on the consultant, check out your body type. There is always a dress we want or have pictured in our mind as that perfect dress. However, not always is the style favorable or the right choice for your body type.

Let's be sensible, not all of us have a perfect models body. Even though some of us do have a body that works well with everything or every style, most of us should resist the urge to choose based on most popular styles or the rage at the present time. Remember this is a very special day. Ten years from now, you want to look back on your wedding pictures and think of how beautiful you were, not how you wish you had not chosen that particular dress.

Select your dress based on your build. Choose the style that will bring out the best and not highlight your imperfections.

The Hour Glass

For this body type, almost any wedding dress style will flatter that perfect figure. The curves directly in proportion from the bosom to the hips will enhance and make every man envious of your groom. Yet your groom will see no one else on this day. Nonetheless, you want to enhance those proportions to make sure the focus is still on you and not directly on your body. Save the best for the wedding night. In addition, make sure the style is not something that makes your body appear off balance. The goal here is to enhance your figure and not those things that might be a little voluptuous.

The Full Figure

Avoid anything that clings. Your curves are definitely appealing, however, on this day; guide the eyes to the features in your dress, not the body. Stick to a style that slims the waistline, diminishes the hips and accentuates the bust. Avoid anything like an empire waist, sheath or spaghetti straps. These styles will make the body appear a little broader than you really desire.

The Pear Shape

The pear shape figure tends to be heavy at the bottom and a little thinner from the bust to the waist. A style that balances and provides an appearance of a well-proportioned figure is more in line with this figure type. The A Line style is a good choice for this body shape. A Line styles tend to bring balance from the bust to the hips. Even more attractive are those A Line gowns with shoulder straps or gowns that tend to have straps cascading around and a little off the shoulders. Avoid styles that focus on the bust or the waist. Definitely avoid V-neck styles.
