How to Choose a Wedding Dress That’s Right for You

Picking Your Wedding Dress

• Posted on Nov 13, 2009 12:38 PM by OneWed.com

Shopping for a wedding dress can be overwhelming. That’s why we’ve created a glossary to give you a little background info on wedding dress shapes.

 

A-Line

Flares out gently from the shoulder creating a subtle A shape

Looks best on: Almost anyone

Not so good on: Some A-lines have a very fitted top, which will not be comfortable for everyone.

Ball gown

Fitted bodice with a full, bell-shaped, floor-length skirt. Usually reserved for more formal weddings.

Looks best on: Tall brides, brides who are heavier on bottom than on top

Not so good on: Shorter brides can get overwhelmed by the full skirt. If you’re a shorter bride and you have your heart set on a ball gown, make sure to get it altered to fit you.

Ballerina

Fitted bodice, full, bell-shaped skirt that hits mid calf — a less formal style

Looks best on: Women who could be ballerinas

Not so good on: If you have thick ankles or calves, avoid this style.

Bustle

Not a dress shape, but a term you need to know. A dress with a bustle allows you to gather up some of the excess material or train at the back of the dress after the ceremony. This is great for dancing.

Empire

The empire waistline starts just below the bust and the rest of the dress drops straight down. The dress is not overly full.

Looks best on: Short-waisted women, tall thin women, heavy-set women

Not so good on: Women who are ‘average’ — neither thin nor heavy — may wind up looking pregnant in this dress.

Mermaid

Modern, sleek style hugs your body to the hips, then flares out at the knee.

Looks best on: Tall women, shapely women

Not so good on: If you have any parts of your figure that you like to hide, this is not the dress for you. If your ceremony requires kneeling, this dress may not work for you.

Princess

Less close-fitting than a mermaid or sheath, the bodice has vertical panels of fabric and then the skirt flares out gently — an elegant style.

Looks best on: Almost everyone

Not so good on: It’s a classic look that may not suit everyone’s taste.

Sheath

Modern, sleek and simple style hugs all your curves.

Looks best on: Very tall or very petite brides, brides with an hour glass figure

Not so good on: Short-waisted brides, full-figured brides, brides that are heavier on top than bottom.

Slip

An elegant style, usually made of satin that clings to your body. Think vintage Hollywood glamour.

Looks best on: Thinner women with small chests

Not so good on: Curvy women

Don’t forget, these terms are just to give you a head start on your wedding dress shopping. If you love a dress, try it on. A dress you love will always look 20 times better on you than a dress you think you’re supposed to love!
