The perfect fit!

If there is one thing women know it's that every body has a different shape and EVERYTHING fits differently. Well when it comes to your wedding dress you must know what shape fits you best and which styles will compliment you the most...afterall this is what you've been waiting for!! Here are a few tipes for brides in need:
Hints that saves shape:
Sweetheart neckline- this neckline is flattering for every bust no matter how big or small.
Defined waistline- this will make your waist look smaller and will eliminate pounds instantly-who doesn't love this!
A-line- having an a-line shape at the bottom of the dress will hide most flaws or enhance curves


Perfect example!


Curvy:
Embrace those curves with a gown that shows off your hourglass shape! A mermaid-style or a dropped-waist dress is ideal but just go for something that hits below the hips but will still give you enough dancing room :) It would be most flattering to go for a sweetheart neckline to mimic the shape of your body’s natural curves and maybe throw in a decorative sash that will highlight your waistline. Things you don't want to go for are plunging necklines and empire waistlines.




Petite:
If you are petite like myself try to go for a more modern sheath. The slim silhouette adds length to your tiny frame but pay attention to the hemline though because if it’s too long or too short, you’ll end up looking even smaller! What flatters us the most is a V-neckline that draws the eye downward and gives the impression of height and try a slim style with a sheer lace or light tulle overlay- this will also give the slender look and play up on the height. Trumpet skirts hug the petite frame and are the best bet if you want to wear a fuller skirt. What we need to avoid is poufy tiers and layers and excessive embellishments like oversized bows and flowers.



Tall and Slender:
If you want to downplay your height, stick to more voluminous silhouettes. Or you could show off your lean shape in a flowing sheath. These slim looks hug your body for a sexier take on the traditional wedding gown. High necklines and silky fabrics show off your lean shape and are extremely flattering. You can even go with a voluminous A-line dress or ball gown and it won’t overwhelm your frame. What you need to avoid is headpieces, High heels (duh!), and hairstyles with lots of height!
