Find Your Dream Dress Based on Your Body Type

Choosing wedding gown must be one of the most thrilling and stressful things during your life, and it is not easy like choosing other casural dresses. So many things you should consider, such as the price, length, style, color etc. Knowing your body type is the key if you want to find the fitted wedding dress. Here is the guideline you should know, hope these can help you find your dream dress.

For Straight-Lined: A dress that will create curves where you don’t have them. Try a sheath dress in a wispy charmeuse that’s cut on the bias; the curving side seam will give you a va-va-va-voom silhouette. Or look for a ball gown that cinches in at your natural waist and descends into a full, flowing floor-length skirt: It will capitalize on your slenderness and camouflage a lack of hips.
For Petite: Trumpet, sheath, and modified A-line wedding gowns. Find a style with a waistline above your natural waist, to make the lower half of the dress appear longer. The fabric is up to you―you can pull off a high sheen. But the detailing should be small and limited to the bodice, to draw the eye upward.
For Plus Sized: An empire dress with a skirt that begins just under the bust and flows into a gradual floor-length A-line. Make sure the Empire seam does not start on the chest and that there is no pleating of the fabric, which is reminiscent of maternity wear. The dress should play up your shape.
For Apple-Shaped: A dress that cinches in at the smallest point on the waistline, then flares out into a gradual A shape. Opt for a bodice with a lot of texture to it―think ruche or lace detailing―that will camouflage and fit snugly, creating a corsetlike effect. The most slenderizing neckline for you is one with a deep V, which will draw eyes toward the vertical, not the horizontal.
For Tall: A simple silhouette. The strategy is to emphasize your natural shape, so every aspect of the dress-the lower waistline, a floor-sweeping hem-needs to reflect your longer proportions. If you're wearing long sleeves, they should go past the wrist. You don't want to look as if you've borrowed a gown from someone shorter than you.
