Flattering Elegance: How to Choose a Wedding Gown that Perfectly Complements Your Body Shape!

The big day is coming along fast, have you selected your dress? The wedding gown is always one of the key features of the event. This can only mean that it should be perfect. Now you might argue that there is nothing perfect under the sun. However, it is possible to have that wedding gown that makes your event the point of reference whenever one mentions a great wedding.

It goes without saying that the gown is that which accentuates the beauty of your body type. There are women who go the extra mile to shed off a bit of weight for their wedding. This is also highly encouraged but if you do not have the time to do it- do not force yourself. Here are some tips on how to select the best wedding gown for your body type.

Pear-shaped body

 

These are the people whose hip region is wider than the bust. For such a body shape, the finest gowns gradually flare out in an A-formation. It highlights the narrowness of the midsection and floats away from the hips and thighs. An off-shoulder collar is really tricky for any body shape but then for pear-shapes, it tends to work almost all the time.

Hour-glass

 

The hourglass ladies are those whose bust and hip regions are pretty much the same size. The goal of the gown in this case will be to enlarge the face slightly and display your neck without showing too much cleavage. The narrow midsection should also be highlighted, and this is possible if you get the aforementioned dress for pear-shaped bodies. To accentuate your face go for a dress with an elegant neckline and if you take a strapless gown (off-shoulder) it should have a slight dip along the neckline.

Plus-size

 

Long gone are the days when plus-sized women could not get elegant wedding gowns in the shops. You can make your size work for you. This is possible if the dress is too tight or too loose. An empire dress whose skirt begins just under the bust and flows out gradually is perfect. Ensure that the empire seam is not starting on the chest and that there are no pleats on the fabric otherwise, it will look like a maternity piece. If too loose, the dress will make the body look more prominent.

Apple-shape

 

The hip and bust regions are the same size with no defined waistline. The dress should not emphasize this fact. The best part to emphasize is the neckline. It will call attention to the upper region more. Add stunning jewelry, and you will not have to worry about people focusing too much on your belly area.
