HOW TO PICK THE MOST FLATTERING WEDDING DRESS | CHRISTINA ROSSI
Brides come in all shapes and sizes, and different silhouettes look better on some than they do others. So follow our colleague Nisha's guide in the video to learn what your body shape is and how to dress it.

 

WOMEN DRESS STYLES:

 

CHOOSE THE RIGHT SPECIAL OCCASION DRESS, WEDDING GOWN, OR FORMAL DRESS STYLE FOR YOUR BODY-TYPE AND DESIRED LOOK. THE FIT GUIDE ALSO WORKS FOR SPECIAL OCCASION DRESSES, BRIDESMAID DRESSES.

 

PRINCESS BALL GOWN

PERFECT FIT

If you have a slim-hipped figure and a full bust, the Full Skirt shape will balance top and bottom perfectly, giving you that "fairytale bride" look. This style or Princess is generally thought of as the most romantic shapes.

WHAT TO AVOID

Avoid the Full Skirt if you are not full bust, as it will make your bust look smaller. If you are petite, avoid this option because you will disappear into the dress! If you have wide hips, avoid the Full Skirt because it will over emphasize them.

 

 

A - LINE

PERFECT FIT
This is like the Princess but the tighter bodice hugs the waist, so it flatters slim waistlines while making the most of the bust. If you have wider hips, the A-Line will cover them up effectively.
WHAT TO AVOID
If you have a fuller figure, you may choose not to have a dress which hugs the form quite so closely. The tighter bodice will tend to draw attention to a smaller bust.

 

 

 MERMAID FIT & FLAIRE

 .

PERFECT FIT

The trumpet style wedding dresses clings to your entire beautiful body starting from bust to the knees. It's very stylish and sexy look reflects your curves and create enormous amount of confidence and poise in your personality.

WHAT TO AVOID

Like sheath dress, these hug the hips, so they’re normally not suitable for the women with wide hips.

 .

 

 MINI DRESS

 

PERFECT FIT

For the super sassy bride, the increasingly popular bridal mini ends well above the knees and is perfect for showing off a pair of sexy pins.

WHAT TO AVOID

It is best suited for informal or outdoor weddings and is especially appropriate for summer beach weddings. Equally flattering for taller brides with long legs or shorter brides who want to appear taller on their special day.
