If you are looking for a bridal gown this information will be helpful. When you think about the idea of looking for a bridal gown you must be saying to yourself where do I start. To start with you need to take a look at yourself in the mirror and see what body type you are.

But before we before we begin I want to say do not be critical of yourself. Do not compare yourself to other women. Any women with any shape can look good when she finds the right gown for the right shape, height, and size. I am including the plus size gals also. You want to be brutally honest with yourself so that you can look great. Remember a lot will be going on so that you will be looking special. This includes your hair, makeup, getting your nails done, and last but not least getting the right under garments. I want to mention this because unless you are totally working out in the gym and you feel that everything is firmed up make sure that you purchase a good quality bra and girdle to lift you bust and hold your tummy in. You are probably saying are your kidding. No I am not kidding. If you were to look at the movie stars you would be surprised what it takes for them to look great in front of those cameras. Well you will be having photos taken of you also, so look your best. After the photos are done then if you have to, remove the girdle. Listen you will only get these pictures taken once and then it will be over so make the best of it.

Ok now let's take a look at the apple shape women. This shape is if you have a full face, broad shoulders, and a full chest. Now the type of gowns you will need to consider are A line silhouettes. Pick out gowns where the top part has some diamonds or pearls. You can also consider a V neckline and bridal gowns with empire waists. Now what you are doing here when I say pick a gown with the pearls or diamonds up top you are bringing the eye to the neckline. Ones eye will focus on the beautiful details that are up top and this will give you a more elegant look. The gowns that you will want to avoid are ball gown skirts and tulle.

Now for the women who has a pear shape. You are probably saying how would I know if I have a pear shape. Well this is when you have a long slender neck. Also you have narrow shoulders, small to medium bust, curvy hips and backside, and full legs. The wedding gowns that are great for the pear shape is the halter tops gowns, necklines that are scooped and draped. With this shape you want to avoid the mermaid body hugging gowns.

A ruler shaped women will know if she has are a ruler shape if she has a regular bust, undefined waist, great legs and arms. The type of gowns that would look good on this type of shape are gowns with dropped or cinched waists, spaghetti strap gowns and A line silhouettes. The wedding gowns to avoid are gowns that are too clingy or tight on top.

Last but not least is the hourglass shaped women. You will know if you have an hour glass shaped figure if you have symmetrical shoulders and hips, a full shapely bust and a defined waist. The gowns that will look best with this figure are gowns that enhance the bust. This will include V necks, halter tops, and scooped necklines.

Now I want to leave this with you make sure that you bring the high heels that you plan on wearing so that the right adjustments can be made for your bridal gown. With the right bridal gown for the right shape any women can look good.  Felecity Aldridge
