The right wedding dress<\/a> can do wonders for your figure. It can cinch you in at the waist, create the illusion of a flat tummy, hide big hips and much more \u2013 if you choose the right style for your body shape. Not sure what shape you are? Let us help you find your perfect style\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

Apple \u2013 weight mainly around the middle<\/span><\/p>\n

An \u2018apple\u2019 shaped bride has a body shape which tends to store the majority of the weight around the midriff \u2013 think Kate Winslet. Many people who are blessed with this sexy body shape aren\u2019t too sure which is the best way to flaunt their assets but we can recommend the following designs;<\/span><\/p>\n

A heavily pleated bodice which will help to hide and add additional shape to the torso and help to create a more defined waist. An A-line skirt which helps to keep the figure balanced and draw attention away from the waist.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pear \u2013 weight mainly around the hips and thighs<\/span><\/p>\n

Brides with a pear-shaped figure tend to have \u2018more junk in the trunk\u2019 and so carry more weight around their hips, bum and thighs. When balanced correctly a pear shape can look like a screen siren, take J-Lo for instance, a woman famous for her junk! For this shape we recommend;<\/span><\/p>\n

A full skirt can hide and balance the figure by flaring out from the middle and highlighting a tiny waist. The sweetheart neckline helps to draw the eye to a defined d\u00e9colletage and toned shoulders, typical of those lucky pear-shaped ladies. The beaded belt adds an element of bling for that J-Lo factor.<\/span><\/p>\n

A fitted bodice helps to draw the eye upwards to the torso and the banded waist helps to define and exaggerate an enviable waist. The floral detailing across the bodice helps to add a feminine feel.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hourglass \u2013 Fuller bust and hips, small waist<\/span><\/p>\n

The hourglass figure can suit many styles of dress. The key to an hourglass figure is to accentuate the waist as this is your main asset. Many people believe the hourglass shape to be the perfect figure and this is embodied by Kelly Brook who is famous for her womanly curves. The following styles would be perfect for this heavenly body shape\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

For example, a classic fishtail skirt and form fitting bodice. Hourglass stars such as Dita von Teese often favour this dress shape as it helps to show off a tiny waist but also highlight desirable assets, which an hourglass will possess. The sweetheart neckline will also help to define the bust whilst drawing the eye to a woman\u2019s most treasured assets.<\/span><\/p>\n

Another show stopping design for an hourglass would be a figure-hugging, pleated bodice with statement tulle, fishtail skirt. This exaggerated shape helps to balance out your faultless curves and the fitted bodice will help to highlight that defined waist.<\/span><\/p>\n

Reverse Pear \u2013 Larger bust with smaller hips and legs<\/span><\/p>\n

The key thing for a \u2018reverse pear\u2019 figure is to balance out the silhouette. Dresses with a fitted bodice and fuller skirt tend to work better as they help to even out the figure and create more of an hourglass shape. Celebrities such as Eva Mendes really rock this shape by following these simple rules.<\/span><\/p>\n

A fitted bodice helps to define the waist and the lace shoulder straps help to keep the bust secure and the bride comfortable. The full skirt adds volume to smaller hips and balances out a heavy top.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Athletic \u2013 Slim all over<\/span><\/p>\n

With an athletic build you need to create the illusion of curves as this body type is toned and sculpted to perfection. This build tends to look best in form-hugging dresses as they do not have the worry of looking top or bottom heavy. Celebrities such as Cameron Diaz can look amazing in practically any dress due to her enviable athletic shape\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

A belted definition at the waist to help create the illusion of womanly curves. A cowl bust helps to emphasise a smaller chest and the beaded straps help to secure the dress and show off toned shoulders. A column skirt helps to keep the silhouette even and elegant.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
