You
deserve a pretty look on the wedding party. Here is the general guide
for choosing the right wedding gown, evening dress or formal dress
design for your body-type and desired style.
1. A-Line
The
A-line dress features a shape that is fitted around the bodice and
flows out to the ground, resembling the outline of an uppercase A. The
dress flows fluidly from the bust to the hem with an unbroken line.
Due to its classic and simple style, the A-line style is appropriate for any body shape. The long lines of the A-line dress can create the illusion of height on a petite body, as well as slim down a rounded figure. For plump bride, simple modifications to the neckline, waistline, or fabric can accentuate your best features and hide those your not so fond of.

2. Ball Gown
The
traditional ball gown style features well-fitting bodice, close fitted
waistline and full skirt. Generally speaking, it may require a matching
petticoat or crinoline to support its structure.
While this style can accommodate most body types, the ball gown is ideal for slender or pear-shaped figures as the full skirt helps to accentuate the waist and hide the lower body. If you have a large bust, this style will help to create the hourglass look since it emphasizes the waistline due to the fitted bodice and natural or dropped waist.

3. Sheath
Sheath
is a modern, slimming style that shapes the body from top to bottom.
The silhouette almost works very well for any occasion or wedding type.
For chic brides who want to show off their charming body, the sheath style is suitable enough.
4. Mermaid
Similar
to the sheath style, the mermaid silhouette contours to the body from
the chest to the knee, while it is different in that the bottom flares
out.
Beware, it is a very sexy style that highlights the curves of a woman’s body. For this reason, you must be confident and comfortable in your skin to pull off this dramatic style.
5. Empire Waist
The
Empire waist style is defined by the raised waistline that sits just
below the bust, from which the rest of the dress flows down to the hem.
Like the A-line, the empire style is very versatile and can accommodate a
wide range of formality.
For women who want to cover unwanted body features such as a long torso, short legs, or a pear shaped figure, this style is really an ideal choice. It is also ideal for pregnant brides since the fluidity of the dress can accommodate a growing belly.
6. Train

6. Train
A
wedding dress with a train is suitable enough for a formal wedding
since it seems so whimsical and grand. For brides who prefer style and
pomp, then the train style is really a perfect choice. It will surely
give you a charming fairytale look.
The length of the train is measured from your waist to the entire length at the back of the gown. You can choose according to your tastes or your wedding style.
7. Short / Mini
The short/mini hemline is defined by the above-the-knees length.
For super sassy bride with long legs, the increasingly popular style is really perfect to show off a sexy figure.
8. Knee-length
A knee-length wedding dress’s hem ends just below the knee.
Knee-length wedding dresses are becoming popular and are a fantastic idea for those brides who have slim leg figure.
9. Tea-length
A
tea-length wedding dress is usually much less formal. It is a modern
kind of wedding dress that comes between the knee and the ankle of a
bride.
The tea-length hemline also paves the way for the eyes to glide down to the feet to show off the bride’s perfect pedicure in strappy heels or elegant pumps.
Tea dresses are a wonderful choice for garden weddings as well as ceremonies that have a natural theme to them. They are suitable for petite women.
10. Floor-length
Floor-length
hemline is just slightly longer than the ankle-length wedding dress,
while not meant to drag on the floor but rather float just inches above
it.
The floor-length style is sophisticated, glamorous and sexy without being revealing. Some floor length dresses may include sexy slits or other features that make them more suited to a less formal occasion. Floor-length dresses are a great choice for women of just about any body type. Wearing a pair of beautiful wedding shoes will make you more attractive in the important wedding party.
11. Hi-Lo
A hi-lo hemline, also known as a high-low, generally features shorter hem at the front than the back.
The hemline will only flatter certain body types. Unless the short hemline is around knee-length, the distinctive style is not suitable to a petite bride.
