Your Figure Defined

Understanding your body shape/figure is the first step towards looking for that perfect wedding dress. Determining your shape will help identify the ideal style of dress for you.

Hourglass Figure
As the name suggest, you have curves in the right places. You have a full chest, full hips and a defined waistline. Most dress styles look great on an hourglass figure.

Do
Silhouette: A line
Neckline: Strapless, Off-the-shoulder, Sweetheart, Scoop, Queen Anne

An A-line skirt coupled with a neckline such as V-neck or Sweetheart neckline to accentuate your chest looks great.

Don't
Silhouette: Empire, Mermaid, Sheath

An empire silhouette, with its high waistline creates an un-proportional look. Also avoid shapes such as sheath or mermaid shape as their body contouring lines tend to emphasize the wrong areas.
