Fact: Just because it comes in a dress size, does not mean it will look good on you. All women are a different way, and so there are many different types of wedding dresses. Each one will make the bride a way to look stunning, but if you choose wrong, may be very unhappy with the results.
Knowing before you go shopping, what kind of dress would be the most flattering for your body type, you can easily save a lot of headaches. I saw several times. A newly engaged bride finds her dream dress in a bridal magazine. Should have it, this is the dress for her. So she travels 120 miles to a bridal shop in your area that sells this designer, just to try and absolutely hate the way you do your look. Any dress is going to look fabulous on the ways in magazines, but for the rest of us real people have to be more realistic.
"So, what type will look best for me?"
For Slender / Short bride: You should get a simple style. Strait or a slight Line style will make you look taller. Choose a dress with princess seams, which is not too full. If it is too full, that will make you look shorter. Too much beadwork or beaded lace can make you look shorter, as well as copper, from the princess seams increasing.
Things to avoid: Really full sleeves or puffy. These do look wider and that will also make you look shorter. Gathered skirt or layered, these make it seem shorter.
For Full-Figured / Short bride: You should look for styles that will make the picture look more and more weak. Silhouette vertical lines, such as A-Line, Princess and styles Strait will achieve this goal. Do not choose a dress that is sticky or too tight. The dress that just skim the body and flow without taking their turns too.
Things to avoid: you must be away from silhouettes bouffant veils or differentiated and very full. They give the illusion of more volume, and that is what is trying to avoid. Stay away from large prints, even if the defect is of a color. Strong and shiny fabrics are also best avoided, they can always make you look heavier or draw attention to the curves may prefer to keep hidden.
Average Weight / Average Height bride: Well, if you're reading this, then you're in luck. There is also a minority, but it is the category of women that most designers aim. So, you have more options available to you. Almost everything will look good on you, especially as defined Basque waist and gathered skirt. You will also look at the styles and equipment of any kind.
Full-Figured / Media bride: You should look for silhouettes that are flowing and draw attention to your face. The princess cut, the style of the Strait and A-line dresses will look good on your body. The empire waist is also a good option if you have a waist thicker than you want to hide. Dresses that flow along the boards, not gather much around the waist is the most flattering on you.
Full-Figured / Tall bride: You should look for styles that will make you look thinner. A-Line, narrow or princess styles everyone will get it, especially the waist of an empire that will hide your waist. This will make you look thinner and accentuate your height.
Things to avoid: Anything you add bulk and does not look larger should be considered. Skirts and veils, puffed sleeves and gathered waist will add bulk and not be the best option. Fabrics too heavy or heavily Gadwall will make you look larger, bright fabrics and could draw attention to areas that would like to keep one-warnings.
Slender / Tall bride: You are the lucky ones who do well in almost everything, and the ways in magazines. But if you look shorter or if it is too thin, there are ways to add some fullness to your figure. Dresses with features that extend beyond the silhouette, as layered skirts, bustling French, ruffles and lace trim. These all add some fullness. Another good option is a skirt in layers of Tule. Puffed sleeves and flowing fabric that tightens its value very well make it look a little thicker and shorter.
Things to avoid: dressed too straight or something mounted skin tight. These will make you look very thin and tall. Also steer clear of length veils blush that may seem very small compared to its height.
Things to avoid: Tight clothes or clingy fabrics will accentuate the curves you may want to hide. Gathered skirt or can make you look taller. Textured fabrics or printed, will give the illusion of more weight, compared with a smooth satin matte or dull screen. A full veil or long train is not the best option if you are trying to minimize its value.
