With all eyes on the bride during one of the most important walks she’ll make in her life, she’ll want to have the right gown for her figure. As difficult as it may be to find the perfect dress, starting out armed with knowledge of wedding dress styles and how they work on her figure type will make the process less frustrating.

Bridal Gown for the Pear Shape

For the woman who has a pear shape, with a smaller top and larger bottom, a fitted bodice with a fuller skirt will disguise the hips and pull attention to the upper part of the body. The skirt may be pleated, gathered or A-line for the best look. A fitted or accented waist is the ideal choice for the bride with a tiny middle section. Pear shaped brides need to avoid a gown that is fitted from top to bottom.

Wedding Dress for the Bride with Broad Shoulders

If the woman has broad shoulders, a scoop neck or spaghetti strapped dress will help give the impression of having narrower shoulders. A strapless wedding dress is also good. The bride should consider a longer bodice with a drop waist. Brides with broad shoulders should avoid puffed sleeves, ruffles at the sleeve, a halter bodice or an off-shoulder sleeve.
