What Type of Wedding Dress Shape Best Suits Your Body
HOURGLASS
Balanced bust and hips, defined waist

Go for… a Ballgown Wedding Dress.
The layered fabrics below the waist on a ball gown wedding dress balance you out and also helps to even out larger hips.
A TALL, SLIM SHAPE

The simple lines allow your natural body lines to flow, this shape is also great for adding height to petite brides.

This one suits (nearly…) all brides
Go for… an A-line
As its name implies, this cut is narrow at the top and extends out along the body in the shape of—you guessed it—an ‘A’. There’s a reason it’s one of the most popular skirt silhouettes, it’s super-flattering on almost everyone.
