popular and usually brides pick on these and customize it as per
their imagination. Lets take a look at the various types of gowns and
which dress goes which which type of body shape. This will help you

A-Line/Princess
Wedding Gowns An A-line dress is a very classic silhouette. This
type of dress, as implied by the name, resembles the letter
"A." An A-line dress typically has a tapered top, sloped
waist and flared skirt. These gowns tend to flatter women who have
figures that are heavier in the hips and waist. A-line
wedding dresses come in a variety of styles many with delicate
lace trim and intricate beading and embroidery designs. A-line gowns
are recommended for the most body types except for women who do not
have a defined waistline. While neither the A-line nor Princess has a
defined waistline, the Princess style does have noticeable vertical panels.
Ball Bridal
Gowns or Full Skirt Gowns: Bridal
gown has a classic and elegant style with fitted bodice and a
traditional full skirt. The bodice is often embellished with beaded
lace motifs and the skirt
is usually layered with airy fabrics. These type of dresses are
recommended for the full figured, pear shaped, and thin shaped
bodies. This style may also be considered for some people who are
petite or have a hour glass figure.
Mermaid
Wedding Dresses As the name suggests, mermaid
dresses are dresses that mimic the shape of a mermaid. They are
typically very fitted on top and then widen out at the knees.
Fishtail dresses are the same shape but often have a trailing train.
This type of dress is a good idea if you have a small bust and small
waist. This curvaceous bridal
gown style exudes grace and elegance with it's fitted waist and
hips and a gentle flaring at the knees. Mermaid style gowns are
recommended for woman with a figure that they want to show off. This
style is not recommended for women who are petite, thick or having
short waist, or have an inverted pear shaped body type.
Sheath Bridal
Dresses Sheath
dresses are generally closely fitted dresses with hems that
traditionally end just above the knee. These gowns are usually made
of very simple materials. The shape is intended to show off the
figure without extraneous detail. These gowns are almost tube-like in
appearance. These designer dresses are recommended for thin figured
or petite framed women. They may also be considered for some women
with a hour glass figure shaped body. This style is definitely not
recommended for women who are thick or having short waist, full
figured, or have a pear shaped body type.
Empire Waist
An empire-waist dress is a dress tightly fitted around the bust line.
The rest of the bodice falls straight. These dresses have been a
popular choice for centuries. The empire
waist dress is a good choice for a bride with a smaller bust
since the dividing line in the fabric creates the illusion of a
larger chest. These dresses are also fine choices for brides with
less than perfect hips. The straight line makes figure of the bride
appear thinner. Empire waist gowns are recommended for women who are
petite or do not have a defined waistline. They may also be
considered for women with an inverted pear shaped body. This style is
not recommended for women with hour glass figures
