OUR TIPS-
Small-Chest:
Sweetheart Neckline: Give the illusion of a fuller bust with a classic Sweetheart neckline, which creates curves, volume and definition. Plunging Neckline: There is a kind of classic chic that small-chested brides can pull off with a deep neckline. Maybe even take advantage of the opportunity for a backless option. High Neckline: A high-necked gown calls attention to the neck and face all while drawing it away from the bust.Bigger Chest:
Definitely explore styles with straps thick enough to cover your bra straps or dresses that offer built-in support. A-Line With Thick Straps: This is a great option to accentuate your bust while also ensuring support options. The A-line will also be more conservative, meaning no tugging and pulling during your big day. Boatneck: If drawing attention to your shoulders and face takes priority over your chest area, this is the neckline for you. The boatneck is conservative and creates great angels. One-shoulder: It can be hard to pull off a strapless dress when you are a bustier bride. The one shoulder cut will offer you the best of both worlds. Get the support you need, while showing off your bare shoulder.Wide Hips:
If you are wanting to accentuate your curves, Try a Dropped Waist. For those brides wanting to draw away from their hips, try a Basque Waist or an Empire Waist.Long Legs:
Mermaid Gown:A great choice for long-legged brides. The mermaid gown draws in tight around the hips, thus enhancing curves and drawing attention to the waist. It then flares out at the bottom to create a very timeless and feminine silhouette.Short Legs:
Sheath Style: This style is designed with the seam running vertically from the shoulders down to the hips. It’s one of the best dress silhouettes for petite brides.
