Choosing a wedding gown is one of the most fun tasks for the bride-to-be. Ooohing and Ahhing over gorgeous dresses is possibly the most exciting part of getting prepared for your wedding day. But deciding just which dress you want to be remembered in (for the rest of your life!) is the hard part.
The following tips will help you make the process of selecting a dress a pleasant experience.
Picking a wedding Dress Style to Flatter your figure
There are six basic wedding dress silhouette categories:
A-Line
An A-Line or Princess Shape dress has fitted vertical seams running from the shoulders down to the flared shirt, creating an “A” shape.The A-Line shape can be created from a variety of fabrics including lace, satin and chiffon
- Best for: brides with small waists and those wanting to hide broad hips and large thighs.
Empire
A high waistline and seam just underneath the bust.
- Best for: small busted brides and creating height for petite brides.
Ball Gown
Traditional wedding dress with a fitted bodice and a floor-length skirt. Usually worn in a more formal setting such as a church.
- Best for: brides with slim waistlines, and great for hiding full hips.
Sheath
Straight –line, fitted dress from the shoulders to the ankles.
- Best for: tall slim brides.
Mermaid
A narrow fitted dress designed to show off a brides curves, with the bottom flaring out like that of a mermaid.
- Best for: tall slim brides, and creating height for petite brides.
Strapless
Wedding dress without any straps.
- Best for: curvaceous brides wanting to draw particular attention to their face and arms.
You look beautiful just the way you are! Don’t plan on purchasing a wedding gown two sizes smaller because you intend to be ten pounds thinner by your wedding day. It’s a really good idea to order the gown in your size. If you do shed a few pounds, great! Just remember: It’s a lot cheaper to take a gown in than to have it let out an inch here and an inch there.
