This shape is voluptuous from the hips up, though your legs can be on the thin side. Try pairing an Empire or Ball Gown silhouette with a sweetheart or strapless neckline. A fitted bodice would also help out. The fitted bodice plays up your ample bust and gives your waist definition.

The pear-shape is bottom heavy. Your hips, thighs and bottom has more weight than your top half. You will look beautiful in an Empire, A-Line or Ball Gown wedding dress. Pair your dress with a strapless or halter top with a circular collar. This will create a more curvaceous look.

The hour glass body shape has a well defined waist. The shoulders and hips of this shape are almost the same width. Tailor-made wedding dresses flatter this sexy shape the best. The best styles include the Sheath, A-Line, Ball Gown, Dropped Waistline, and Mermaid. Pair these with a strapless, one-shoulder or scoop neckline for the most flattering effect.

The inverted triangle is top heavy with broad shoulders, large bust and narrow hips. It helps to create the illusion of the hour glass with this shape. This requires you to balance the lower body with the upper body. It is best to wear flowing fabrics with low to medium-low necklines. A well-fitted bra helps as well as dresses that flow from the waist. I recommend an A-line or Ball Gown wedding dress. Pairing these with either a strapless or sweetheart neckline will make you look stunning.

The rectangle or boyish, athletic body type has an undefined waist. The bust and hips are roughly the same size. This type usually has a small to medium bust and slim legs and arms. Styles that flatter this shape are the Sheath, Empire, A-line, Ball Gown and Mermaid. Pair these with a portrait or strapless neckline… you can pull them all off lady!
