Choose a Princess wedding gown that flatters your figure!

How do you do pick one that is complimentary to your figure? Let's take a look at some basic silhouettes that you can consider.

The tips below are given to help you pick a princess bridal gown that is flattering to the rectangle, hourglass, pear shaped and apple shaped body types. If you have a balanced shape you can pretty much wear any style bridal dress.

In a nutshell... here are some basic fashion tips for princess style gowns. I only describe the bodice section of this dress style since the skirts are all full and the focus of this dress is on the neckline, bust and waist areas.

For the Rectangle body shape a bodice with angled ruching with a dropped waist bodice is very flattering for your body shape.
A Pear shaped body would look best in a natural waist or slightly dropped waist bodice, because this would focus attention on your upper body.
An apple shape body this isn't the best style choice for you, but you may be able to pull it off with a dropped waist style that stops about the abdomen and has a V-shaped waistline.
Most princess style wedding dresses will not show off your hourglass shape. But if you get a elongated dropped waist ball gown style bodice this will show off your curves.
Small busted brides have a hard time keeping this type of dress up if the neckline is strapless.
This is not the best style for short brides, because it will be overwhelming and make you look shorter. On the other hand this is a great style for tall brides.
