How to Choose a Gown that is suitable for you

The Full-figured bride 

If you’re a full-figured woman, the best silhouette is the A-line style.

A-line style lengthens the whole body without drawing attention to your waistline. 

The Empire Waist is another good choice. The empire waist design narrowest is just below the bust, which conceals your waist and hips.

Many plus-sized girls tend to purchase wedding gowns that cover a lot of skin, which will makes you look more plus-size. Showing your arms and neckline can often make you appear slimmer. The characteristics of an empire dress is the high waistline that starts from just below the bust, right to the bottom. Suitable for tall brides.

*Deep V-necks and scoop necks flatter curvy figures, and always look best on full-figured women.

The Hour Glass Figure

Gown with halter style neck-line will accentuate your best features and give the illusion of an extended shoulder line.

A two piece ball gown, with strap or strapless, is also well suited for the hour glass figures, especially if your hips are a little wider.

The Petite Bride 

A-line wedding gown also fits well on petite bride. This style lengthens the body. 

Avoid Sheaths style gown  Sheaths seem to shorten a small body even more, so petite bride should avoid sheath-style wedding gown, and also steer clear of very full skirts will make petite bride looks like having ‘heavy bottom’. Your wedding gown need to be proportionate to your body.

Fish Tall (Mermaid) gown will enhance best features of a petti brides and give you a taller look. 

Sheath Dress This is a slim dress follows the body line very closely, most suitable for tall brides.

The Large-Busted Bride 

Off-shoulder gowns look wonderful on a full bust. It draws our attention upward, emphasizes the shoulders and minimizes the chest. Keep your skirt narrow. Wearing a full skirt will make you look large both on top and bottom.  

The Bottom-Heavy Bride

Brides who are larger through their hips and buttocks should look for a gown that focuses on their upper body — preferably with a full skirt.

Show off your arms, back and bustline.

A corset-style bodice with lacing will highlight your upper body. We want to draw attention away from your hips. Avoid pleats or gathered fabric around the waist. An A-line skirted wedding dress always works the best for this body type.
