Petite

Wedding dress styles with a waistline above the natural waist can make the lower half of the dress appear much longer than real. The A-line silhouette is a stunning bridal gown style for petite brides. Similarly, the trumpet silhouette also looks elegant on petite women. The trumpet style is a dramatic cut for a wedding gown, so it is perfect for those who want to make it memorable.

Also take note that wedding gowns with full skirts can make petite women appear little heavy but it is advisable to consult with a wedding gowns designer.

Full-figured

If you are a full-figured bride, it is recommended to go for the A-line silhouette. As mentioned earlier, the A-line silhouette can add some inches to your height or at least make it appear like that. It also keeps the attention away from the waistline.

Another great wedding gown design for the full-figured bride is the empire waist. The narrowest part of the empire gown is right below the bust area and the silhouette conceal both your waist and hips. There is no need to cover all your skin because you are full-figured. In most cases, showing off the neck and arms can make you look slimmer. Wedding dresses with scoop necks or deep necklines always look amazing on full-figured brides, so you should try to consider these options.

Bottom heavy

For brides who have bigger buttocks and hip areas, search for wedding gown styles that can shift focus to their upper body. Show off your arms, bustline and back to draw attention from the bottom area. You can try a wedding gown with corset bodice. Try to visit some bridal dresses store to physically access some available options or consult with a wedding gowns designer. Women with this body type should avoid dresses with pleats.

Busty

If you are a bride with a large bust, then you should certainly consider an off-the-shoulder wedding gown design. This kind of gown minimizes the chest appearance and shift the focus on shoulders instead. If you prefer to go strapless then select one that comes with sweetheart neckline or something similar. Don’t go for a strapless gown with a straight neckline because it can make your bust appear even larger. You can also consider scoop neck.

It is imperative to choose a wedding gown that is proportional to your body type. With the help of above tips, you will be able to choose the right kind of wedding gown to make your big day even more special.
