Ideal Wedding Dress Models According to Body Types
Choosing a Wedding Dress for Pear Body Type
People with wide hips and smaller breasts have a pear body type. Since the shoulder area of people with this body type is narrower than the hip area, they may prefer round and boat neck wedding dresses that show this area wider. Also, since those with this body type have small breasts, deep V-neck wedding dresses will also look nice. If people with pear body type want to camouflage the width from the waist to the hip area and look thinner, they can have a slimmer appearance by choosing an A-cut wedding dress model. Especially A-cut Helen wedding dresses can make their hips appear smaller by capturing a very elegant look on pear-shaped bodies.
However, brides-to-be who want to get a curvy look can also choose a fish or half fish skirt cut, so that the hip lines will appear more prominent.
Choosing a Wedding Dress for Hourglass Body Type
People with hourglass body type have exactly 90-60-90 ideal body lines. These brides-to-be, who have an ideal body proportion, can easily adapt to wedding dresses of different categories and types. Both the chest and hip ratios are compatible, and the waist areas are thin. If you have an hourglass body type, you can carry many wedding dresses in different styles, especially fish wedding dresses. However, the first thing that comes to your mind should be fish or half fish wedding dresses. Even if you have a proportional body proportion, you can choose fluffy, helen, fish, etc., taking into account your height. You can decide on skirt cuts in style.
Choosing a Wedding Dress for Apple Body Type
In the apple body type, the waist area is thick, the chest is full, the hips are straight and the legs are thin. If you have an apple type body form, you can choose wedding dresses with low-cuts that make your chest area smaller. Closed models such as bike and halter necks can make your upper area appear larger. For this, brides with a calmer top and not covered, decollete would be more ideal rather than intense embroidery. Especially Helen models with slits, thin straps and decollete can offer a flying look. Slightly puffy A-cut helen models can offer a slimmer and elegant stance. At the bottom, you can choose wedding dresses with deep slits that will reveal thin legs.
Choosing a Wedding Dress for Rectangular Body Type
People in rectangular body form with straight body lines do not have folds in the chest, waist and hip regions. Shoulders, waist and hips are of equal width, and the waist area is hollow. In this body type, the leg length is long and smooth. The most suitable model for brides with straight body lines is straight cut wedding dresses. Brides who want to show the waist area more curved can prefer wedding dresses with moving details in the waist area.
Open back models can be preferred to create a curved image in the back area, which also offers a thin appearance. This will result in an image that is both moving and curved.
In addition, the deep slit that reveals the long leg length can also suit brides with this body type.
Choosing a Wedding Dress for Inverted Triangle Body Type
The most distinctive features of the inverted triangle body type, also called the athletic body type, are broad shoulders, a normal straight waist, long legs and thin hip lines. The body length is shorter than the legs. If brides with this body type want to highlight their shoulders in the upper body, they can choose a strapless or halter neck wedding dress model, and in the lower body, they can choose a princess or A cut.
On the contrary, if they want to hide their broad shoulders, they can make the upper body look more elegant by choosing thick straps and a deep V-neck cut. When the shoulders are hidden, fish or slit models can be preferred, which emphasize the long legs in the skirt.
