Choosing The Right Wedding Gown Style For You

Full Figured Women

• A-line style is best because it lengthens the whole body without drawing attention to the waistline.

• Empire waist is another good choice because it is narrowest below the bust and conceals the waist and hips.

• Many plus size girls tend to purchase gowns that cover skin; however, skin is sexy and showing arms or neckline can often make one appear smaller.

• Deep V and scoop necklines flatter curvy figures and always look best on full figured women.


Petite Women

• A-line style is flattering because it lengthens the whole body.

• Petite women should avoid sheaths because they seem to shorten a small body even more.

• Steer clear of very full skirts because they make petite women look bottom heavy.

• A cap-style gown works well because it gives the feeling of a strapless and serves a practical purpose of keeping the gown in place.


Large-Busted Women

• Off the shoulder gowns look wonderful on full busted women because it draws our attention upward, emphasizes the shoulders and minimizes the chest.

• Keep your skirt narrow; wearing a full skirt makes you look large on top and bottom.


Bottom Heavy Women

• Women who are large through the hips and buttocks should look for a wedding dress that focuses on their upper body.

• Women who are large through the hips and buttocks can wear well gowns with full skirts.

• Showing your arms, back, and bustline work well for you.

• A corset style bodice with lacing will highlight your upper body and draw attention away from your hips.

• Avoid pleated or gathered fabric around the waist

• An A-line skirt always works best.
