Finding the Right Wedding Dress for Your Body Type


It’s that moment most Women dream of their whole lives. A memory that you will cherish and share for the rest of your life. Yes, we’re talking about the dress..

There are many wedding gowns out there. Of course, having an array of options can actually make things more difficult. The key to getting it all right is finding the ideal dress for your body type. Get the look that best suits you with our silhouette style guide. Searching for your Wedding gown made easy.

You can thank us later!

Petite Body Types

A Wedding gown with empire waists will definitely draw the eye up. Just be careful of ballgowns or anything larger that could overwhelm your small frame. We recommend a ‘Fit and Flare’ style that is fitted to your body and then flares at the knee. This will give the illusion of height!

Plus-Size Body Types

Focus on a dress that plays up your shape. If it’s too loose, it will add kilos. Anything A-line with an empire waist can be flattering for a Bride who wants to be a little discreet when it comes to her weight.

Busty Body Types

Nothing beats a good V-neck gown that will minimize the width of the bust and elongate the neckline. Draw attention away from your chest and look for a dress that attracts everyone’s eye towards the hem.

Straight Body Types

Let us give you the definition. If your shoulders and hips are similar in size, you have a straight lined figure. Give that attention to your bust line or a dress that bells out. You could also try wrap dresses or one with a belt.

Hourglass Body Types

We love hourglass figures! Show off your beautiful curves with a mermaid, trumpet or sheath silhouette. Why not accent your waist with a beaded belt. We also adore ruffles and tiers.. just saying!
