Your
wedding gown will probably be the single most expensive gown that
you will ever purchase. Regardless
of price, you want the gown to look and make you feel beautiful. You'll want a
gown that flatters your height, weight and
body type. A gown
that will accentuates your best features!

|
If
you're not sure of what style gown would look best on you, below
we've listed some of the popular gown styles and body types that
looks best:
|
|
|
|
-
The A-Line
gown has a fitted bodice which gradually
flares wider from the bust down to the hemline (looks like the
shape of the letter "A"). This wedding gown flatters just about every body type.
-
The
Ball gown has a full skirt with off-the-shoulder bodice and a
natural waistline. A good example would be Cinderella's Ball Gown. If you have a
full-figure, this would be a great gown for you.
-
The Empire gown has a very high waist which starts
right below the bust line. It has a slim, slightly flared skirt. If you're petite, this
gown will tend to lengthen your look.
-
The Sheath gown fits snug. It has a straight skirt without a waist. If you have a
well-proportioned figure (and who doesn't?) this gown will
look great on you.
-
The Princess gown has a bodice that is slim-fitting and
it accents the waistline. It has vertical seams that flow from the shoulders all
the way down to the hemline of a flared skirt. This is another great gown for a petite woman.
It will give her height.
-
The
waistline of the Basque gown begins several inches below the
waist. It has a
V-shape or curved U-shape that fits the waist snug. This gown is a slenderizing
gown for all body types.
It gives the bride the appearance of a perfect
hourglass shape.

If
you're looking to minimize your hips choose an A-Line, the Basque
Waist or a dropped V-Line. If you are a flat-chested woman,
strapless or sleeveless gowns with detailing on the bodice is a
nice choice.
