The Perfect Hour-Glass Figure
|
|
Okay, so you've got a figure even Marylin
Monroe would be envious of!
|
|
Do consider...
A nice A-Line gown paired with a v-neck or scoop-neck to
fully flatter your figure.
|
Think twice about...
an Empire silhouette which may hide your figure or make it
look disporportioned. A ball-gown may work if the skirt isn't
overly full, but watch that it doesn't over accentuate your
bottom half.
|
| Short Waisted and Petite Figures |
| Do consider... an A-Line
gown to elongate your waist and make you appear taller. Since
the top of the dress gently blends into the flared skirt,
it gives a long and lean look. |
Think twice about...
a ball gown. The ball gown may simply swallow you whole. You
want everyone to see YOU walk down the aisle -- not a big
gown with a person hidden in it!
|
| Tall and Thin |
| Do consider... a ball
gown. You will look like an absolute Princess walking down
the aisle. Also consider a Sheath silhouette - there aren't
too many of us who can get away with wearing them. If you've
got it, we suggest you flaunt it! |
| Think twice about...
we really can't think of a style that you wouldn't look great
in! |
| |
| Pear Shaped |
| Do consider... a gown
that will draw attention to the upper half of your body. The
Silhouette isn't quite as important as the neckline you select.
The idea is to flatter your shoulders and chest while drawing
focus away from your hips. |
Think twice about...
the mermaid silhouette ... for obvious reasons.
|
| Full Figure and Plus Size |
| Do consider... a ball
gown or A-Line gown. The ball gown is full and will hide many
figure problems in the lower areas. An A-Line will flatter
practically any figure. |
|
Think twice about...
mermaid silhouettes, thin straps, and sleeveless gowns.
Instead, focus on drawing attention to your best features.
Wear short or long sleeves to cover upper arm troubles and
consider a scoop or v-neck to flatter your chest and neck.
