How to choose the right wedding dress according to your figure?

The most important thing in choosing a wedding dress that suits you is to be able to show your personality and temperament, and highlight your more attractive side. The following will give you a detailed introduction to the key points of wedding dress selection to help you choose the right wedding dress according to your figure.

• Petite

Petite and exquisite figures need to pay special attention to the tailoring and design of the wedding dress to create a better body proportion. Here are a few key takeaways:

1. Choose medium, high waist, gauze, and white gauze with discounted waist to modify the body proportions. The middle and high waist design can elongate the leg line and make the overall figure appear more slender.

2. Avoid choosing a wedding dress with a skirt that is too fluffy, which will cause a visual effect of light head and heavy feet, highlighting the shortcomings of short stature. Instead, opt for a clean, slim-fitting hem that will show off your petite figure.

3. Choose carefully in the design of the rotator cuffs, and avoid choosing overly exaggerated rotator cuffs, such as big puff sleeves or big lotus leaf sleeves. You can choose gorgeous and varied styles for the upper body design, but the skirt and veil should not be too long to maintain the overall sense of coordination.

4. Choose the "V" slightly low-waist design, which can increase the slenderness of the waist. This design will make the leg line appear longer, thereby increasing the sense of proportion of the figure.

• Slender

Brides with a slender figure can choose various styles of wedding dresses, especially the fishtail-shaped wedding dress with a wrapped body and hem, which can better show the advantages of their figure. Here are some suggestions:

1. Due to the slender figure, almost any style of wedding dress is suitable for trying. However, it is especially recommended to choose those wedding dresses that show a fishtail shape at the hem, because this style can better highlight the advantages of the figure.

2. Pair it with a short wedding dress with a cap and half of the denomination, which can further highlight the slender figure. This collocation is not only simple and elegant, but also can make the overall shape more moving.

• Tall and thin

Tall and thin brides need to pay special attention to the design of the shoulders and the line of the upper body when choosing a wedding dress. Here are some suggestions:

1. Dresses designed to strengthen the shoulders can make tall and thin brides look more energetic. Shoulder pads, exaggerated puff sleeves or lotus leaf designs are all good choices, and the lines of the upper body should be varied to highlight the sense of curves.

2. Avoid choosing off-the-shoulder and open-chest styles. If your shoulder line is smooth and thin enough, and your shoulders are neither wide nor narrow, it is recommended to try a long-sleeved wedding dress, which can better show your body advantages.

• Plump

Brides with plump bodies need to make some special considerations in the cut and design of their wedding dresses in order to show a slim effect. Here are some suggestions:

1. Suitable for straight line tailoring, plus lace style, it looks more slender. Avoid overly cumbersome waist and skirt designs to keep the overall simplicity.

2. Do not choose a high-necked style, but choose a low-necked style, which can lengthen the neck line and make the overall figure appear more slender.

3. Pay attention to the design of the waist and skirt, avoid being too cumbersome, choose a style with simple and smooth lines, which can better modify the figure.

• Too plump or thin

For brides who are too plump or slender, they need to choose according to the characteristics of the upper body or lower body. Here are some suggestions:

1. Brides with a plump upper body are best to choose a wedding dress with a simple upper body design that can show the advantages of the chest line. This can avoid visual pressure caused by too many patterns or lace, and make the upper body look more slender.

2. A bride with a plump lower body should not choose a wedding dress with folds as the design focus, so as to avoid protruding buttocks. On the contrary, you should choose a straight cut to weaken the fullness of the lower body.

3. The bride who is too slender is best to choose a high-necked, long-sleeved dress, such as a layered, ruffle or Diana-style dress. These designs can increase the fullness of the upper body and make the figure look fuller.

In addition to the above five common body types, there are some special body types that require special attention. The following are four common special body types and corresponding suggestions for wedding dress selection:

1. Banana-shaped figure: the shoulders and hips are of equal width, and the waist basically has no curve. For this figure, attention should be paid to the proportional balance of the upper and lower body. Try to choose a wedding dress with a high waist and an obvious waistline. On the one hand, it will make the legs look more slender, and on the other hand, it will weaken the childishness brought by the petite figure, making it more refined and noble. It is suitable to choose a tutu skirt style with a tightened waistline, an open back cut design, and a gradually widening hem, which can make the upper body look tall and slender, and the body curve become concave-convex.

2. Pear-shaped body: the hips are wider than the shoulders, the upper body is not fat and the lower body is fat. For brides with a pear-shaped figure, it is recommended to choose an A-line skirt or tutu skirt, which can highlight the small waist of the upper body, and at the same time cover the big buttocks and thick legs, making the wedding look more elegant and moving. You need to avoid choosing short knee-length wedding dresses, because this will highlight the thick legs; fishtail wedding dresses and tailoring designs that are too close to the body also need to be avoided.

3. Apple-shaped figure: the shoulders are obviously wider than the hips, the arms and waist are a bit thick, the upper body is relatively plump, there is a small belly, and the calf is thinner. In the choice of wedding dress, the upper body must pay attention to "removing the complex and simplifying", avoiding visual pressure caused by too many patterns or lace, so as to make the upper body appear more slender. Avoid choosing floor-length skirts, and choosing mid-length wedding dresses would be more appropriate. Also, avoid high neck styles and opt for a bandeau style instead to elongate the neckline.

4. Hourglass figure: the shoulders and hips are the same width, and the waist curve is distinct. The hourglass figure is one of the most coveted figures, and it fits just about every style of wedding dress. However, it is recommended to choose a fishtail skirt or a low-waist backless skirt, which can better highlight the S-line of the figure.

• Summarize

When choosing a wedding dress, you should choose the appropriate cut and design according to your body characteristics to highlight the advantages and weaken the disadvantages. In addition, don't ignore the importance of accessories, such as veils, accessories, etc., they can also greatly complement and enhance the overall shape. The most important thing is that no matter what the figure is, everyone has their own unique beauty. Confidence and comfort are the most charming temperament.
