Wedding Gown Styles for Your Shape
Q: I am looking at purchasing my bridal gown. What style would be best
for me, as I am a bit heavier on the bottom half of my body compared to
my top half?
A: We all come in different shapes and sizes, so customizing clothing
is a wonderful opportunity to maximize certain areas and minimize others!
I would say that the best style for you would be to find a gown that is
tight-fitting at the top and then balloons out to a wide and long design
at the bottom. An off-the-shoulder top, or a low neckline would be best.
As far as the lower portion of the gown goes, ensure that it is loose-fitting,
with a long tail. The loose-fit will avoid drawing attention to your lower
torso, and the long tail will elongate the look of the gown, and visually
speaking, will make your torso appear longer, and less rounded. There
is no specific name for this style of gown, but if you keep these details
in mind, I'm sure you'll find a knock-out gown!
