Body Shapes

The right gown makes your figure look well-proportioned. It enhances your natural features and compliments your neckline, coloring, and shape. It distracts from your less-than-perfect features. Your weight may fluctuate before your wedding but your basic shape remains the same.

Women's bodies typically belong to one of four categories: hourglass, triangle, rectangle or inverse triangle (pear). Your shape is determined by the relationship of your hips, waist and bosom.

You are the exception if you have the hourglass figure. The hourglass figure works well with many different styles of bridal gowns, including the princess, sheathe, off-the-shoulder and strapless. This means you have a lot of choices, and you can focus on your tastes and preferences.
