How to choose a wedding dress according to your body type - tips for brides

Every newlywed, as you know, on her most exciting day wants to look exceptionally A+. This is easy to achieve!

Knowing your body type, you can choose a beautiful and fashionable wedding dress, as well as matching accessories to match it, and behold, the ideal image of the bride is ready!

Having chosen a fashionable wedding dress to suit her figure, the bride involuntarily turns some features of her figure exclusively into advantages. What was needed to be achieved!

Now let’s take a closer look at each of the five types of female figures. How to determine your type is described in detail in this article.

What types of figures are there?

There are five main types of figures:

• Hourglass. This body type is considered ideal. Girls with such a figure do not necessarily have parameters of 90-60-90, but the main sign of an “hourglass” is a narrow waist and approximately the same volume of the chest and hips.
• Rectangle. This figure is also called a sports figure. “Rectangle” girls have small breasts, narrow hips and an almost undefined waist, which is why there are practically no curves.
• Pear. Many people find this body type very feminine. Its distinctive feature is wide hips and narrow shoulders and waist, medium-sized breasts.
• Apple. Girls with this type of figure have practically no defined hips, a wide waist, a girth that is not much narrower than the buttocks, and often have a tummy. Among the advantages of this physique are large breasts and slender legs.
• Inverted triangle. This type of figure is characterized by wide shoulders, narrow hips and an undefined waist. The main advantage of the “triangle” is its long legs.

Now that we have figured out what the main body types are, let's try to find the answer to the main question of every bride: how to choose a wedding dress according to your body type?

Triangle

Girls with this type of figure can safely emphasize their hips by choosing tight silhouettes. Straight dresses and so-called “fish” or “mermaid” dresses that fit the hips and widen at the bottom will look advantageous. At the same time, it is important not to weigh down the top with voluminous sleeves, bows and decor.

Wedding dress for the hourglass type

Those with an hourglass figure are lucky: they can afford almost any style of dress - some to a greater extent, some to a lesser extent, but none of them can ruin their figure. Girls with an hourglass figure should focus on hiding possible small individual defects - for example, full arms or hips. This can be done with the help of jewelry.

When choosing a wedding dress for an hourglass figure, the height of the bride plays a big role. The shorter the girl, the tighter the dress should be. Dresses with a mermaid silhouette and narrow fitted dresses, as well as dresses in the Greek style and Empire style will look great - they will visually elongate the figure. Girls of medium and tall height should pay attention to dresses with full skirts.

Hourglass (X)

Those with an “hourglass” shape—thin waist, ample breasts, and ample hips—are traditionally luckier than others: seductive and proportional, they can wear almost any wedding dress and look like goddesses. But there are useful tips for these lucky women too:

• If you are a slim and tall girl, wear a mermaid tail dress. It will be fluffy enough for such a special day, tight enough so as not to interfere with your sitting and dancing, original enough to make tall height the main advantage;
• If you are short and you look more appetizing than skinny, try on a straight-cut midi-length sheath dress with an accentuated waistline and a flirty neckline in the form of an inverted number 3. If the fabric is thin, seamless nude-colored shapewear will come in handy.

Wedding dress for rectangle type

Girls with a rectangle figure should choose a wedding dress that will adjust the waist and visually enlarge the chest and hips. You first need to measure the circumference of your shoulders, chest, waist and hips in order to determine the part that can be “corrected”, and choose a style based on these individual characteristics. Most often, brides with a rectangular figure choose classic styles of dresses with a full skirt and low waist. The missing volume of shoulders and hips can be created with a variety of decorations: flounces, puffed sleeves, decorations on the bodice.

Girls with long legs can emphasize this advantage with the help of the “Mermaid” style. The silhouette will form the necessary curve of the waist, and the full skirt will distract attention from narrow hips and flat buttocks. You can hide a small bust volume with a closed top and an open back.

"Pear" (triangle)

According to many men, this type of female figure is the most attractive. Its main difference is narrow shoulders and wide hips, expressive buttocks and a thin waist.

In order to reconcile and balance both parts of the body, emphasis should be placed on the upper - chest and shoulders. A wide frill collar and puffy sleeves will look good. Among other things, the rich decoration of the bodice can serve as an accent - hand embroidery or elegant lace can serve as an accent. Owners of this type of figure can afford to give preference to a strapless dress.

In this case, the skirt should be extremely simple, perhaps made of flowing fabric. There is no need to load it with decorative elements to avoid unnecessary attention to the hips. For the same reason, you should avoid tight dresses and mermaid silhouettes.

Wedding dress for pear type

The main task when choosing a dress for this type of figure is to balance the upper and lower parts of the body. For this reason, it is worth abandoning all styles that include wide, fluffy skirts - they will visually enlarge the buttocks and hips. A skirt with wedges, which gently drapes and hides voluminous hips, is much better suited. To divert attention from the voluminous lower half of the body, the emphasis should be on the upper part of the dress. This can be done with the help of “lantern” sleeves, a wide collar, decorations - ribbons, embroidery, flowers. A thin waist can be emphasized with a corsage.

Details of different colors will also look beneficial if you arrange them so that bright inserts are in those places that need to be expanded, and darker ones are in places where you need to hide figure flaws.

Most suitable for girls with a pear figure are dresses in the empire style with an embellished top - this is the most universal option, suitable for almost all brides with a similar physique. Girls with long legs and medium hips can try tight wedding dresses with a train.

Dresses in the style of the fifties are also perfect. The decorated bodice and open shoulders visually enlarge the upper body, and the full skirt hides the volume of the hips.

Pear

With this body type, it is important to balance out the wide hips or draw attention away from them. You can safely choose dresses with lush decoration at the top and voluminous sleeves.

Jamal Magomedov, development director of Christi Wedding salon:

“We recommend a light A-line silhouette: it hides the hips and visually elongates the figure. At the same time, harmony is achieved in the ratio of narrow shoulders and wide hips. You can choose a dress with bare shoulders: with this type of figure, this will give the image lightness and sophistication.”

Wedding dress for apple type

When choosing a wedding dress for this type of figure, it is necessary to take into account that the dress should fit loosely to the body, and not be tight, and at the same time it is important to avoid a “hoodie”. A correctly selected silhouette will visually elongate the body. Outfits with a high waist located under the bust are best suited. It is worth abandoning wide belts - it is better to emphasize the junction of the bodice and skirt with a thin belt or embroidery.

The best top option for girls with an apple figure is a simple V-shaped neckline. It will highlight the bride's long neck. A similar cutout on the back will also look great.

Of all the existing styles, only two are best suited for apple-shaped brides: a Greek-style dress and an A-line dress. Dresses of this type hide almost all figure imperfections, and also visually increase the bride’s height and make her slim. Preference should be given to smooth fabrics such as silk and satin or multi-layer draperies. Heavy fabrics with a pronounced texture visually make the figure heavier. When choosing decor, you should avoid large embroidery, as well as bright shiny jewelry - an exception can only be made for girls with thin arms, then the decor will distract attention from the almost undefined waist.

In addition, you can pay attention to straight-cut dresses with a wedge-shaped skirt or sarong dresses.

How to choose a wedding dress based on your body type

Body type: PEAR

A girl with this body type combines sexy collarbones with a narrow waist and wide hips. She will be ideally suited for clothes that will hide the wide lower part of her figure and highlight her fragile shoulders.

• Silhouette : A-line with a pattern at the waist.

STYLIST'S ADVICE!

This season's trend is off-the-shoulder dresses. It can be easily adapted to wedding fashion. The “Angelica” neckline seems to be created for girls with a pear-shaped figure - it will harmoniously balance the silhouette as a whole.

Body Type: HOURGLASS

• Silhouette : A-line, straight, mermaid. Focus on one thing: neck, hips or waist. The ideal choice is a dress with a corset or a “mermaid”.

• Don't : If you have an hourglass body type, you have no inhibitions)

Celebrities with this body type : Halle Berry, Scarlett Johansson, Catherine Zeta-Jones

STYLIST'S ADVICE!

While thin girls with this type of figure can wear a dress of any style, girls with curves should take into account some nuances. It is recommended to give preference to dresses made of lighter and flowing fabrics. As a rule, they are cut on the bias, which emphasizes the silhouette, creating a feeling of lightness.

Body Type: INVERTED TRIANGLE

Broad shoulders, narrow hips and slender legs. A bride with such a build should make sure that her outfit balances her body proportions.

• Silhouette : A-line or A-line with embellishment at the waist. A massive skirt will take your eyes away from your shoulders. It is better to avoid overly tight styles.

• Neckline : American or V-neck - this cut will visually reduce the shoulders and add grace. Lace inserts will also look impressive.

• Lingerie : It is best to wear a plunging bra to give your breasts a natural lift.

• Bottoms : Wide hem with embellishment or high waisted skirt.

• Material : Lace or taffeta.

• Don't : Tight silhouette or low waist.

Celebrities with this body type : Demi Moore, Gisele Bundchen, Cindy Crawford

STYLIST'S ADVICE!

Styles with American armholes look good on such figures. To soften the angularity of the shapes and make the dress look more weightless, let the upper part be made of lace. At the same time, the skirt can be full or A-line.

Body type: CIRCLE

Owners of such a figure need to emphasize proportional shoulders, hips and beautiful breasts. A big advantage of the “circle” type of build is the thin legs “from the ears”. And for a full figure, you can choose a great option that will make you look perfect.

• Silhouette : A-line or Greek style with a high belt will look advantageous. Such silhouettes will hide the tummy and shift the emphasis to the chest line.

• Neckline : V-shaped - will emphasize graceful collarbones.

• Lingerie : A special silicone-based bra is best. Don't be alarmed by the lack of straps - thanks to the high density of the material, it will give your breasts a beautiful shape and will not torment you with constant slipping, as it is supported by silicone inserts.

• Bottoms : Thanks to your slender legs, you can wear an above-the-knee skirt or an asymmetrical hem. If you have a full figure, give up this option and opt for a straight cut and light flowing fabric.

• Material : Chiffon or thick flowing organza.

• Don't : Tight fit and low waist.

Celebrities with this body type : Kelly Osbourne, Britney Spears, Reese Witherspoon

STYLIST'S ADVICE!

Girls with this type of figure usually do not have a very long neck. You can correct this nuance and make the image more feminine with the help of jewelry or hairstyle. Choose elongated earrings and wear your hair in a gentle style.

Body type: RECTANGLE

Girls with such a figure have a beautiful athletic physique, equal width shoulders and hips, and slender legs.

• Silhouette : A-line dress with a fluffy hem: will show beautiful shoulders, collarbones, the curve of the back and visually increase the hips.

• Neckline : A V-neckline will make your neck look sleeker and your bust appear larger. With such a neckline, your waist will appear thinner. If you have small breasts or you simply don’t want to focus attention on them, choose a closed top and perhaps focus on an open back.

• Lingerie : For a closed top, a regular bra will do. If you dream of a dress with an open back, pay attention to extension straps or an adhesive-backed bodice.

• Bottom : Opt for a full tulle skirt from the waist up

• Material : The fabric can be any - from velvet to chiffon. It is best to use several materials in order to highlight the necessary parts of the body.

• Don’t : If you are short, avoid a low-waist dress.

Celebrities with this body type : Milla Jovovich, Julia Roberts, Keira Knightley

STYLIST'S ADVICE!

Dresses with a wrap or with the illusion of a wrap will help to define a not too pronounced waistline. A belt with decoration in the center can easily cope with the same task. If you don't need an emphasis on the waist, choose a straight-cut dress made of chiffon or silk in the style of the 20s.

Choosing a veil

Important! Accessories are matched to the clothing, and not vice versa, so you need to buy a veil and a dress at the same time. We will give several recommendations in this article, and you can learn in more detail about all the nuances of choosing a veil in a separate article on our Blog.

How to choose a veil for a wedding dress:

• For a short dress - a short veil
• Dress with an open back - one-two-layer veil of medium length
• It is important to maintain the emphasis on the beautiful neckline on the back of the bride's dress
• A straight long veil to the floor or even longer, the so-called cathedral veil - its length can reach 3 meters - will suit fish or mermaid silhouettes, as well as a dress with a train. For convenience, such veils can be worn on the arm. Important! This silhouette is suitable only for tall girls.
• Medium-length veils with a moderate amount of jewelry are suitable for a lush dress or a simple frameless dress.
• Do not choose a long veil if you are short - it will visually make you even shorter
• Select the fabric depending on the length and number of layers. The more massive the veil, the more airy the material
• There should be one emphasis. If the dress is long, of a simple style and made of plain fabric, the veil can be richly decorated. If the dress is embroidered with a rich pattern, choose a classic transparent mesh without lace trim.
• If you carefully chose a dress according to your figure, in order to emphasize the winning places, there is no point in hiding them later under a veil with massive jewelry. It is better to choose a veil made of transparent mesh without decoration.

STYLIST'S ADVICE!

A veil is a stunningly beautiful and delicate attribute of a bride’s image. But don’t forget about hair decorations such as flowers or hairpins. For example, you can wear a veil for the formal part, and during the celebration you can change it to a beautiful hairpin or fresh flowers.

What's fashionable now

• Corsets are bad manners! Modern brides choose dresses without corsets and hoop skirts
• Fabrics: chiffon, silk and microtulle
• Decoration on the dress: hand embroidery
• The undoubted trend of the last few years is the open back.
• Light A-line silhouettes with flowing skirts
• Complex shades: from milky to dark gray
• Translucent fabrics of different colors in one dress - when placed on top of each other, create a feeling of airiness
• Designer dresses, where a translucent top is worn on a laconic base made of silk or chiffon
• Hidden fasteners. Without laces and buttons, so that guests think it was sewn directly on you
• Loose styles that make you feel comfortable at a wedding
• Long sleeves are back in fashion! Both voluminous, made of plain tulle, and narrow, made of lace
• In 2021, world designers are offering brides long cape-veils as veils

A wedding dress, no matter how much money is spent on it, is unsuccessful if it hides the advantages of the figure behind layers of beautiful fabric, and emphasizes minor flaws with a thick line.

So, when choosing an image, take into account the features of your figure, hide minor flaws and be sure to emphasize your strengths. Don't forget about underwear and a veil - these little things will give you magical grace.

In addition, planning your wedding this way will also help your wedding specialists, as they will see a clear portrait of the audience and take into account all the nuances in advance.

Wedding dress for inverted triangle type

Most often, when choosing a wedding dress, they try to turn the “inverted triangle” into an “hourglass”, since there is currently no dress model suitable for this particular type of figure. This is achieved with the help of a full skirt and corset, which make the hips appear larger and create the effect of a narrow waist. Broad shoulders can give the body a rugged androgynous appearance, and this can be softened with soft fabrics.

Apple

If you are the owner of an “apple” body type, then you should not despair ahead of time. Excess volume in the waist area can be properly removed by choosing the appropriate dress design. Dresses with a pronounced waist, too much trim or accents at the waist should be avoided. You can focus your attention on the A-line silhouette. And emphasize the graceful curves of the shoulders and chest with a strapless dress, but with a tight bodice. Give preference to a style in which interesting details adorn the shoulders or hem. And if you really want a belt, then focus your attention on wide belt options that will slightly tighten the volume and a full skirt. Or on a dress with a high waistline, then the belt will look good. Avoid materials that are too thick and tight, create a light and airy look with organza and chiffon. An elegant lace cape on a dress down to the waist or sleeves in the batwing style will also help make your figure more graceful.

General recommendations

Regardless of your body type, when choosing a dress, you should follow a few simple rules - they will help save time and effort when searching for the perfect outfit:

• You need to pay close attention to choosing the right size dress. Then it will emphasize all the advantages and hide the flaws of the figure. A dress that is a size larger or smaller than required will not look good on the bride.
• When choosing the style of a wedding dress, you must take into account the height of the bride. Dresses with short sleeves and a deep neckline look best on girls of average height. Tall brides should choose a tight-fitting dress model or a model with a high waist or a wide belt.
• Not the last criterion for choosing a wedding dress is the color type, hair, skin and eye color. Typically, brides prefer white, but due to the large number of shades, it can be difficult to choose the right one that suits the girl. So, for dark-haired girls, snow-white dresses are suitable, for red-haired girls, dresses in golden or cream shades, and for blondes, cool shades.
• It is worth paying attention to the season for which the wedding is scheduled. In the summer, lace and light fabrics, dresses without sleeves and with thin straps, dresses with a short skirt will look most advantageous; in the spring – models with an open back made of satin and chiffon. In autumn, it is better to pay attention to thick fabrics and lace, and in winter - to silk and satin floor-length dresses with long sleeves.

Options for short people

How to choose a wedding dress for a short person? One-inch brides will look harmonious and irresistible on the day of the celebration in dresses with a high waist and horizontal seams. This will visually make your silhouette slimmer and taller. If we talk about specific styles, then, undoubtedly, it is worth giving preference to A-line or empire-line dresses.

Before choosing a wedding dress for short women, you also need to pay attention to the length of the models: floor-length dresses will allow the young lady to wear high-heeled shoes, which means she will be taller. A deep neckline or long train will also visually add “height” to the bride.

And if a girl has a slender figure, then you can emphasize this advantage and elongate the silhouette thanks to a model with an open back.

Attention! If a short bride chooses a short dress, then the hem of the skirt should be 10 cm above the knees. Read more about short dresses here.

Choosing a wedding dress for a specific body type

A dress always looks good in pictures and mannequins, but on a woman, this or that model can only highlight the flaws and hide all the advantages of the figure. A prerequisite is to take your time. In addition, the style of the outfit must be selected before planning a trip to wedding salons.

In order to determine your body type, you need to measure your hips, waist, chest and shoulders. You can also use the help of loved ones, whose taste you can trust - they will correctly assess the proportionality of the figure.

Hourglass

This type of figure is characterized by equal shoulder width and hip volume. The waist is quite narrow and defined. The hourglass is the most feminine figure that requires virtually no adjustment. The bride can easily choose a dress, since she can choose any style. In order to further accentuate the waistline, you can use a contrasting belt. A good option for this figure is dresses that fit tightly around the chest and hips.

Height

If the girl is short, it is best to choose dresses with a high waistline. The low waist and full skirt significantly shorten your height.

Weight

Girls with curvy figures are better off choosing A-line dresses. Thanks to this style, you can hide wide hips, while presenting your bust in a favorable light.

Breast

In order to visually enlarge the breasts, a V-shaped neckline, various draperies and decorative elements in the chest area are suitable. If you want to visually reduce your breasts, it is recommended to choose dresses without a neckline and as simple and smooth as possible.

Rectangle

This type of figure is characterized by straight lines. The shoulders, waist and hips are visually equal, there are no defined curves of the figure. This type is often found in athletic girls.

The main task of the wedding dress in this case is to create soft, but at the same time clear curves. It is necessary to emphasize the waist, hips, and chest. Outfits with a corset, a full skirt, and an A-shaped silhouette are well suited for this.

Height

For tall girls, you can choose a dress with a low waistline - it will highlight the curves of the body well. But you need to be careful; with a small stature, the girl becomes visually heavy.

Weight

Overweight women are advised to choose dresses that have a semi-tight bodice. Slender girls can afford chic decoration in the chest area and on the skirt. You can use a variety of beads, rhinestones, lace, sequins and other elements to give your figure seductive volumes.

Pear

Among the distinctive features of this figure are small shoulders and large hips. In this case, it is necessary to visually make the bottom of the body smaller, and add a little volume at the top.

What suits a pear-shaped figure?

The best options are a dress with a boat neckline, wide-set or shoulder straps, puffed sleeves, and horizontal trim on the bodice. Here it is necessary to maximize the presence of details that increase the shoulders and chest.

To reduce the width of the hips, it is better to choose skirts that are made from soft, flowing fabrics. Fluffy, stiff skirts are completely inappropriate here. You can also draw attention away from your hips with colorful panels at the waist.

Apple

This figure is characterized by large breasts and no waist. In addition, most often, the slimness of the legs is noted.

Accenting

In this case, it is necessary to emphasize the advantages as much as possible - the chest, legs - this will help to divert attention from the waist.

Empire style dresses look good on apples. Among fabrics, it is better to choose soft materials. It is also necessary to pay attention to outfits with a deep neckline in the neckline; in addition, this area can be decorated with various decorative elements - but even here you need to approach with caution, since the image can be overloaded.

Inverted Triangle

In this case, wide shoulders and narrow hips are noted. To distract attention, it is necessary to minimize the presence of decorative elements in the chest area. You should not choose models with open shoulders.

Every girl since childhood dreams of a fairy-tale prince, the most luxurious wedding dress and a white veil. Wedding planning is entrusted to specialists, but finding a wedding dress that fits your figure is the most important task for the bride, so only she can make the right choice of model. Nowadays, there are many salons that offer a large assortment of wedding dresses, but this makes it much more difficult to navigate the right choice. The ideal solution is custom tailoring.

There are 5 main types of figures

Body type - hourglass

PECULIARITIES:

The width of the shoulders is visually equal to the volume of the hips. The waist is narrow, clearly defined.

An hourglass figure looks very feminine, and therefore many styles are suitable for brides with such proportions - almost all. You can add additional emphasis to the waist using a contrasting belt. Dresses that fit tightly around the chest and hips will look good. When choosing a dress, in addition to your body type, you should consider the following features:

HEIGHT.

Dresses with a high waist visually increase your height, while dresses with a low waist and full skirt make you look smaller.

WEIGHT.

If you are plump, then choose A-line dresses that will hide your curvy hips, but will highlight your bust.

CHEST VOLUME.

Techniques for visually increasing breast volume are a V-shaped neckline, “waterfall” and “swing” drapery, a bodice generously decorated with folds and other details (embroidery, beads). If you want your breasts to appear smaller, choose a bodice that is as simple and sleek as possible without a V-neck.

Shape type - rectangle

PECULIARITIES:

The width of the shoulders is visually equal to the volume of the waist and hips. There are no clearly defined bends. This figure is also called a sports figure.

The task of girls with such a figure is to give it softer, but at the same time clear outlines, i.e. highlight the waist, hips and chest. You need to choose dresses with corsets, full skirts and A-line silhouettes.

HEIGHT.

If you are tall, you can afford a dress with a low waist. It will perfectly highlight the shapes. On a short bride, this style will look heavy.

WEIGHT.

Plus-size girls should choose semi-tight bodices. Slender girls should not be afraid of chic trim on the bodice and skirt. All kinds of beads, ruffles, lace, frills and other interesting details will give the figure the necessary seductive volumes.

Body type: pear

PECULIARITIES:

fragile shoulders and at the same time wide hips.

The goal is to visually reduce the bottom of the figure, while giving more volume to the chest.

WHAT WILL SUIT:

dresses with boat necklines, with straps that are widely spaced or dropped over the shoulder, puffed sleeves, horizontal bodice trim. In general, all the details that visually increase the width of the shoulders.

In order for the skirt of the dress to hide the excess volume of the hips, it should be made of soft flowing fabric. You should avoid wearing tight, fluffy skirts.

To divert attention from the hip line, you can choose a dress with bright inserts at the waist or even give preference to a colored wedding dress in rich colors.

Body type: apple

PECULIARITIES:

large breasts, an almost invisible waist, and often slender legs.

WE FOCUS ON THE ADVANTAGES:

We highlight the chest and legs, diverting attention from the problematic waist.

Empire-line dresses made of soft fabric with a deep neckline will help with this (of course, within reason, you are the bride after all). The bodice can be decorated, but the main thing is not to overdo it, otherwise the look may be too overloaded with details. A-line dresses with a corset that will shape the waist are also suitable.

Body type: inverted triangle

PECULIARITIES:

shoulders that are much wider than the hips. To divert attention from wide shoulders, you should keep the bodice trim to a minimum and also avoid models with bare shoulders.

Dresses with a V-neck, corset and full skirt will look good. If you want a dress with sleeves, then they should be no less than 3/4 long. Short, especially puffy, sleeves will draw attention to the shoulders.

When trying on, carefully evaluate the chosen model. Please note that there must be enough light in the fitting room. It's even better if you can try on the dress in daylight.

Ask friends or relatives whose taste you trust to accompany you to fittings. From the outside, many things are noticeably much better.

Choose a dress in advance, in a calm environment and in a good mood. And then undoubtedly you will be the most beautiful and feminine bride!
