Congratulations, you’re
getting hitched! This ceremonial and joyous time is usually kicked off with one
major task - finding the right dress.
Finding the right dress can
be time consuming, stressful and troubling which is why Berkertex and other brands stock a range of dresses suitable for all
occasions, making them a great first port of call for deciding what type of wedding
dress you want – although there are plenty of other things to take into account
too.
Consider the shape that would
compliment your features most and give thought to what works best for you.
Finding the right shape to flatter your figure is essential and should be one
of the fundamental considerations for a bride to be.
Hourglass Shape
Hourglass
shaped ladies are balanced in proportion across the top and bottom. Women with
hourglass figures might want to consider a fishtail dress, which hugs both the
top and bottom elements of your body. The key to dressing an hourglass figure
is to pick a dress that accentuates your waist, showing off your best assets.
A
two-piece gown could be ideal for women with this figure. It could be worth
avoiding any extravagant embellishments on the chest or hips as they are
already balanced and this could end up interfering with this.
Triangle
Shapes
Triangle
shaped ladies are wider across the top than the bottom. This means that your
hips could be narrower than your shoulders. One way to avoid looking like a
triangle would be to add a sweeping neckline. This look works well to cover up
wider shoulders.
Puffed
sleeves should be avoided as this will draw attention to your shoulders.
Halternecks will also help to reduce the look of broad shoulders so dresses
with this neckline could be a good option.
Detailing
around the neckline and lapels will accentuate your shoulders, enhancing the
triangle shape. Such embellishments should therefore be avoided.
Apple Shapes
Apple shapes are top heavy
and tend to have less emphasis on the bottom half of their body. Empire line
dresses are great at hiding a bit of a tummy and give your waist a slimmer
look.
Ball gown shapes work well
for those with apple figures as they create a statement hour glass look that
exudes elegance and sophistication.
