Your wedding dress is the most important (and expensive) piece of clothing you will ever buy, so choosing the one that best fits your body and personality is a must. But choosing the right one can be exhausting if you don’t narrow down your search. Follow these guidelines to get a better idea of what looks best for your body:
Empire: This style is very elegant, and flattering on almost anyone, especially those who want to cover up wider hips and smaller breasts. It easily draws the eye upward to the neckline since these dresses are usually quite simple.
A-line: This shape is flattering on all body types. It is very slimming while at the same time compliments curves and gives the illusion of height. It’s the most popular of all dress shapes because of its simplicity and class.
Mermaid: If you’re shy, then this dress is not for you! The mermaid shape accentuates all your curves and leaves nothing to the imagination. If you have a sexy hourglass figure and love to show it off, this style is definitely what you’re looking for.

Ballgown: This shape enhances smaller waistlines, and also covers anything you may want to hide, so it’s also a great pick for all body types. It’s very dramatic and will surely get a lot of attention.
