If you're not sure of what style bridal gown would look best on you, below we've listed some of the popular styles and body types that looks best:
| A-Line: The A-Line dress has a fitted bodice which gradually flares wider from the bust down to the hemline (looks like the shape of the letter "A"). This dress flatters just about every body type. |
|
| Ball Gown: The Ball gown has a full skirt with off-the-shoulder bodice and a natural waistline. An example would be Cinderella's Ball Gown. If you have a full-figure, this is a great dress for you. |
|
| Empire: The Empire gown has a very high waist which starts right below the bust line. It has a slim, slightly flared skirt. If you're petite, this dress will tend to lengthen your look. |
|
| Sheath: The Sheath gown fits snug. It has a straight skirt without a waist. If you have a well-proportioned figure this dress will look great on you. |
|
| Princess: The Princess gown has a bodice that is slim-fitting and it accents the waistline. It has vertical seams that flow from the shoulders all the way down to the hemline of a flared skirt. This is another great gown for a petite woman. It will give her height. |
|
| Basque Waist: The waistline of the Basque gown begins several inches below the waist. It has a V-shape or curved U-shape that fits the waist snug. This dress is a slenderizing dress for all body types. It gives the bride the appearance of a perfect hourglass shape. |
 Tip: Looking to minimize hips? Choose an A-Line, Basque Waist or dropped V-Line bridal gown.
Flat-chested? Strapless or sleeveless gowns with detailing on the bodice is a nice choice. |
