For most girls, the most memorable day of their life is the day when they are married to the man of their dreams. Every girl dreams about her wedding day and how perfect it will be. One of the most important aspects of this dream is the wedding dress. Every girl want to look and feel beautiful on her wedding day. Choosing from the vast array of wedding dresses available can be lots of fun, but you need to keep in mind that not every style flatters every body type.
As you begin to plan for your wedding day and set out in search of the dress of your dreams, you need to know a little bit about yourself to help determine which dress will look
Each of us is shaped differently, and a wedding dress that may look stunning on one person may not flatter another. Here are a few things to think about to help you determine which style wedding dress will make you look beautiful and make your special day a time that you will love to look back on.
It will be easy to determine what body style you have with the use of a mirror and a towel. Drape a large towel around yourself, and underneath your arms. Bring the end of the towel to the front.
If the towel stays straight and your waist is defined, you have an hourglass shape. This is the desired shape that many consider to be ideal.
If the edge of the towel stays straight yet your hips, waist, and bust are of equal size, your body shape is rectangular.
If the end of the towel flares out below your waist, your bottom half is wider than your top half and you are a triangle (also known as pear) shape.
You are a wedge shape if the edge flares out above the waist making your top half wider than your bottom half.
There are also several other factors to put into the equation, such as how tall or short you are, or if you are petite or heavy. It is important for you to know your body, love yourself the way God made you, and love the way your clothing looks on you!
For those girls who are in the hourglass shape category, you are fortunate! This is the sought after perfect shape that every girl dreams of being, but few are. Most styles will look flattering on you, especially those with fitted waistlines. If you are a most petite hourglass shape, try an A-line or straight style. Mermaid style dresses are also particularly attractive on smaller girls. Also, wearing gloves with a sleeveless or short sleeve dress will make you appear taller and more slender.
For those who are a rectangle shape, dresses created with an empire waistline look most attractive. You need to choose a dress that brings the attention to the your face and creates the illusion of a waist.
Triangle shape girls, you need to try to create a balanced look by adding width around your shoulders. Try an off-the-shoulder dress, a dress with a shoulder wrapper collar, or a bolero jacket. You are always striving to bring the focus from the problem area and accentuate other areas.
The wedge shape has the opposite problem of the triangle shape, but both are striving for a more balanced look. You need to bring attention to the bottom half of your body. A Cinderella style ball gown or any dress with lots of fullness will help you achieve this.
