David's Bridal offers wedding dresses to flatter all shapes and sizes. Use this simple guide to look your best on your big day.
Pear If your hips are wider than your shoulders, your shape is a triangle, commonly referred to as pear-shaped. Your best bet is a wedding dress with a fitted bodice and skirt that flows gracefully to the floor, such as an A-line or ball gown silhouette.
Top-Heavy If you carry more weight on top, your shape is referred to as an inverted triangle or apple. You have a variety of flattering options this season, like illusion necklines and halters or cap sleeves that provide beautiful coverage and comfort. If you have your heart set on a strapless gown, consider a sweetheart neckline for a soft romantic look.
Curvy You love your curves, so why not accentuate your hourglass shape for your big day! Embellished bodices, waist accents, and trumpet styles are all great choices for you. Or simply add a sash to your favorite bridal gown to enhance your feminine figure.
Straight Up-and-Down If your hips, waist and shoulders are all a similar size, choose a wedding dress that draws in at the smallest point of your waist, like a fit-and-flare or ball gown silhouette. Adding a colorful or embellished sash will also give the illusion of a defined waist.
Long & Lean If you have a tall, thin figure, opt for a sheath or short dress that will show off your long legs. Thanks to your model-like height, your wedding dress options are almost endless, from glamorous fit-and-flares to soft flowing sheaths to dramatic ball gowns.
