subject: A Wedding Dress Fit For Your Unique Body Shape [print this page] As London wedding dress designers can tell you, a really great dress must fit you perfectly. But a perfect fit isnt just a matter of dress size, its also a matter of cut, flow, style, and silhouette, among other things.
Every woman is unique, so choosing the perfect gown can be quite daunting. Fortunately, while each woman is different, bodies do fall into types, and particular styles flatter certain body shapes. For example, for the average body type (neither tall nor small, neither too slim nor too heavy, etc.) most dresses are flattering, and finding a great dress should be relatively easy, whether you choose to purchase off the rack or have one especially designed professional London wedding dress designers. However, when it comes to womens shapes, average is actually a misnomer as very few women are average, and chances are you belong to another body type classification altogether. Knowing your body type can give you a good basic idea of what styles you should consider when choosing or designing your gown. Listed below are some of the more common body types and some style suggestions for each.
Petite
Generally, for Europeans, women under 54 are considered petite. For such women, London wedding dress designers are likely to recommend a dress with a shorter skirt, short sleeves (or no sleeves), and bared shoulders, which can give the illusion of height. A dress that creates a long and smooth silhouette is also vital. If youre short-waisted, A-line or drop waist bodices will help elongate your torso and help mask your real waistline. Wearing high heels and your hair up can also give some added height.
Tall
Women over 59 are generally considered tall. If you are a tall bride, youre in luck as you can get away with a great deal of fabric without being overpowered. Take advantage of your statuesque build and go for dramatic cuts such as a ballgown or princess-cut gown (a standard among London wedding dress designers). In contrast, shorter skirts will make your long legs look even longer.
Slim
If youre slim, you can add the illusion of substance by going for layered styles or a looser bodice gathered at the waist, and a flowing skirt and sleeves. Lucky you, you can also opt for some of the more complicated styles, such as petal bodices, portrait collars, and ruffled skirts. In addition, consider adding accents such as ruffles or trims, or using heavier fabrics such as velvet, brocade, or moir, and using dramatic colours.
Plus-size
For body types that are on the heavier side, London wedding dress designersrecommend dresses with a high waistline or one with an A-line silhouette with vertical lines, such as a princess-cut gown. Stay away from body-hugging styles, clingy fabrics, lacy ruffles or anything poufy or with ruffles. Certain shades of white can also add on some pounds, so consider going for softer, more muted shades. If youre more top-heavy than bottom-heavy, opt for a v-shaped or high neckline. Avoid dresses with cinched waists as they will bring more attention to your bust line. If youre more bottom-heavy on the other hand, consider a gown with a detailed bodice to bring attention to your upper body and waist while hiding your hips under a flared or full skirt.
