Let's get ready for a fabulous shape!  If you have a rounded figure where there is little difference between your waist to hip or waist to bust measurements, then you are a round or apple shaped Bride, the O Bride.  You want to start by with a high waistline and a skirt that drapes away from your frame.  A lace up closure would be ideal for you so that you can pull in at the right places to give your curves the best results.

 Flattering necklines include strapless, sweetheart, V.  Some one shoulder gowns will work as well. Anything with asymmetrical lines will also work well.  Keep the eye moving diagonally or up and down.  Never horizontally.

 Wedding gowns that will look fabulous on you include, Empire waist, A-Line and Ball Gowns.  Stay away from stiff materials like heavier weight taffeta's that will add volume.  Look for ruching and anything that runs asymmetrically.  A chapel length train and shorter is also most flattering.

          Let's get ready for you to show off those curves!  If you are an hour glass shaped Bride or a B Bride,  then you can almost wear any silhouette.  We have so many dresses at mybigfatbeautifulwedding.com that will enhance your curves and have you walking down the isle in confidence and style.

 The ideal necklines for the B silhouette are strapless, V, scoop and one shoulder that do not go straight across but has a line like a sweetheart or scoop that breaks them up at the bust.

Because your waist is so defined, you can play that up with a mermaid, dropped waist or fit and flare.  You can also wear a ball gown style but it would be most flattering if the volume of the skirt starts at the low hip, not the high hip.  Your wedding dress should accent the smallest parts of your body, like your waist.

      Let's get ready to show off your assets!  If you are a busty, or a well-endowed Bride, then you are an R Bride and we have the wedding dress for you.  Our designs will either enhance or play down your bust line depending on which way you want to go.

Wedding gowns that will look stunning on you are A-Line, Fit and Flare, some mermaids without separate a skirt/bodice seam and Ball Gowns.  You can wear a ball gown skirt that's big and it will even out your figure so nicely.  Truly, if the volume of the skirt falls either at the high hip or low hip, you will balance out just fine.

        Let's get ready for definition!  If your bust and hips measure about the same, and there is little definition at your waist, then you are a rectangular, slender Bride or an    I Bride.  We have a wonderful selection of dresses that that are designed to give you a more defined waist and create those fabulous curves.

 Flattering necklines include strapless, sweetheart, and portrait styles.

Fortunately, our head designer, Janet Lyons Brooks has created many wedding dresses that pull in the waist and flatter your figure so that you get the most out of your wedding gown.  An empire waist or midriff waist gown (where the waist falls slightly above the natural waist), a flattering sash, or asymmetrical ruching at the waistline will help you achieve this definition.  You will look best in an A Line, Ball Gown, some Fit and Flares and Sheath style wedding dresses.

       Let's get ready to enhance your bodice!  At mybigfatbeautifulwedding.com we have some gorgeous dresses that have stunning embellishments at the bodice.  Detailing on the top of your dress.  If you are a pear shaped Bride or where your lower half is the larger part of your body, then you are a pear or D Bride shaped Bride.

 Flattering necklines include halter, strapless, and almost anything that has a dramatic amount of detailing at the bodice.  Just keep the skirt simple or with detailing at the hemline.

 Gowns that would look stunning on you are Empire style, Ball Gowns with simple skirts that are fuller and more detailed at the bottom, and A Line style wedding dresses.  You can also add a little bit of a sleeve, either capped or short.  This will also add more attention and interest to the top of the gown.

      Let's get ready show off your neckline!  If you are a Bride with gorgeous wide shoulders and a smaller waist an hips, like an upside down triangle, then you are an E Bride.

You can wear a lovely neckline that actually shows off your shoulders, instead of trying to hide them with sleeves.  This is often one of the biggest mistakes made with this type of figure.  Simply stay away from horizontal lines at the top of the neckline and you will do fine.

 Flattering necklines include strapless sweetheart, one shoulder and halter work the best.

 Wedding dresses that will look gorgeous on you are sheath, ball gown, empire and A-line.  You can also choose a skirt that is full at the high or low hip to balance out your shoulders.  Also you can look for horizontal lines on the skirt or at the waist.  These features will balance out your lovely wedding dress perfectly.

  Let's get ready to show of those hips!  If you are smaller busted or an S Bride and want to even things up, then you are so fortunate in that you can choose from so many wedding dresses that have gorgeous embellishments at the bust.  This not only will increase the look of your top, but will draw all eyes up to your face, where they should be!  You can wear empire waist, A Line and Ball Gown silhouettes. 

Flattering necklines include Sweetheart, Bateau, one-shoulder with lots of detailing, or square.

You can also accentuate your bust by adding a fiery brooch, or looking for wedding dresses that have lots of volume at the bust line.  Ruffles are so in this year so placed right at the top of your gown, these could be your new best friend!
