It is time to start preparing for the wedding!
Planning a wedding is a magical time. A time full of emotions and decisions to make this long awaited day special. One of the most important pre-wedding decisions for every bride is choosing her dream wedding dress. Every bride-to-be wants to find the perfect dress to suit her figure and style. Sometimes it is hard to navigate the sea of wedding dress styles, cuts, designs, and materials. But we have good news - with the Elizabeth Passion brand, this choice will be much easier!
In this article, we'll clear up any doubts you may have about the three most popular types of wedding dresses and show you how to choose the one that best suits your body type. Before you begin your search, read How to choose a wedding dress? 5 steps to a perfect creation.
A-line dress
Let's start with the A-line wedding dress. This is a fairly versatile model of wedding dress that fits many body types. The cut of the dress has a corset that is tightened at the waist, and the skirt widens at the hip, forming an A shape. This model is perfect for women with different body types, but it is especially recommended for brides with hourglass and pear silhouettes, i.e. women with large breasts, wide hips, and narrow waist (hourglass) and women with small breasts and round hips (pear). Ladies blessed with small breasts are also recommended to choose wedding dresses with decorations on the bust, which will optically enlarge it.
This cut is also often recommended for women with fuller shapes. A flared skirt will hide wide hips, while a tight top will accentuate the waistline and emphasize the bust.
To perfectly flatter your figure with an A-line dress, pay attention to the width of the straps and the shape of the neckline. Brides with larger breasts should choose a dress with a V-shaped neckline, which will visually reduce them, and appropriately chosen thin straps will add lightness to the figure and obscure too wide shoulders. Brides with small breasts, on the other hand, should choose strapless dresses with open shoulders. Wedding dresses with a plunging neckline will also work well here. This type of dress is also suitable for shorter women who want to look taller.
Wedding dress "mermaid"
Mermaid cut is a model of wedding dress fitted to the body, which widens at the height of the mid-skirt, creating a kind of mermaid tail. This is an ideal choice for brides who want to accentuate their assets on their wedding day. This model is particularly suitable for hourglass silhouettes.
Any irregularities on the body can be concealed with an appropriate choice of fabric. Delicate fabrics can accentuate any imperfections, so we recommend them for brides who do not want to hide any part of their body on their special day. On the other hand, heavier fabrics, such as Mikado, will perfectly hide imperfections, and the lace overlay will further slim the silhouette. Such a cut is recommended for tall brides and discouraged for women with an apple figure, i.e. without a waistline.
When choosing a mermaid gown, it is particularly important that the size of the dress fits the bride's figure. No matter what type of figure you have, you should choose a fitted, but not too tight style. You should not feel too tight around the hips or waist. Remember that on your wedding day, you should feel comfortable as well as beautiful. The wedding dress should not only fit well, but also be comfortable.
In such a wedding dress, a good choice will be a variant with a detachable train, so that after the official ceremony the bride will have no problems with dancing.
Mermaid silhouette is extremely stylish and striking, it is also one of the most popular models chosen by celebrities, who often opt for models with an accentuated waist. Such wedding dresses are perfect for the ceremony in the church.
Princess cut wedding dress
This is the most traditional and recognizable design, but still highly desired by many brides. Wedding dresses of this cut consist of a fitted bodice and a full layered skirt. They are often dresses with a fitted top and a flared bottom.
A princess wedding gown is perfect for women with a pear-shaped figure. The long skirt will hide any imperfections, and the corset will accentuate the waist, adding royal charm.
The corset often plays the key role in such dresses. Its choice can accentuate or hide the shortcomings of your figure. The most popular models of corsets are: straight corset - this is the top of the dress recommended for owners of smaller breasts, which will emphasize the shapely back; square corset - hides narrow shoulders and outlines a larger bust; heart-shaped corset - most suitable for ladies with a more generous bust and hourglass figure. V-neck - optically lengthens the neck and slims massive shoulders.
Choosing a wedding dress should be a pure pleasure, so regardless of your body type, the most important thing is that you feel comfortable in the wedding dress you choose.
The right cut will emphasize your assets and hide unwanted flaws, but the ideal wedding dress is one that makes the bride feel beautiful, so we always recommend choosing a dress according to your own preferences. Listen to the voice of your heart and remember that it is your day and you, not your friends or family, should like your dress the most.
