Wedding Dresses For Every Body Shape

Let’s be real, Fairies, wedding dress shopping is probably the most stressful part of wedding planning. There are so many different beautiful options, but how do you narrow it down to ‘the one’? An easy way of sorting through your Wishlist, is by considering what will best suit your personal style and body shape.

Finding a silhouette that will highlight your best-loved assets and conceal your less-favorable traits, can be tricky. To start, figure out which body type best defines your figure: petite, plus size, busty, hourglass or straight. And remember, you may not fit squarely into one category — most people don’t!

Petite

Petite brides should avoid overwhelming their small frame. Choose airy sheaths and structured trumpet styles over big, frothy ball gowns.

Plus Size

Whether you want to create the illusion of a smaller frame or celebrate your curves, we’ve got you covered! Empire waistline designs will truly bring out the best in you!

Busty

If you’re a busty bride, you’ve got two choices: reveal or conceal. Either way, finding the right gown starts with pinpointing the perfect neckline.

Hourglass

Work your womanly curves in a bodycon bridal gown or hide your hips in a big ball gown — either way, your gown should show off your trim mid section.
