Choose A Flattering Wedding Dress For Apple Shape

How can you choose a wedding dress for apple shape body type?

Well it all starts with knowing how to play up the positives and hiding the negative.

Let's identify your figure challenges.

An apple shaped body type has very little waist definition.

In fact, sometimes the waist is the widest part of the body. Most women with this shape have a full bust and a wide back, waist and hips with slender legs..

But some have narrow shoulders, small bust, wide waist with a protruding tummy and narrow hips.

So your mission is to divert attention away from the mid-section and have the attention brought up to your face or focus on your legs.
