Don\u2019t only consider your curves the main asset to flaunt when choosing a wedding dress. If you have elegant collar bones or a long, swanlike neck, these are two delicate areas you should highlight with your wedding dress. \u201cSweetheart necklines add a soft, feminine touch to gowns and are perfect for the bride who would like to subtly showcase her d\u00e9colletage,\u201d says Ericka Hanson, Associate Bridal Buyer at David\u2019s Bridal<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If you have a larger chest, don\u2019t stress about finding a dress that can accommodate your breasts\u2014just choose one with thick straps. \u201cThick straps are a great option for brides who need support for a fuller bust, especially if they plan to dance the night away,\u201d Hanson says. And what if you happen to fall in love with a sleeveless dress or one with spaghetti straps? No problem: It\u2019s extremely easy for a tailor to add thick straps later.

Don\u2019t stress about getting your upper body into perfect shape before tying the knot. You\u2019ve got enough to worry about! Long sleeved wedding dresses exist for any woman who feels insecure about the size of her arms or any bra bulge. Even if the sleeves are made of sheer lace, they can drastically help smooth over this problem area and even hide any stretch marks. What\u2019s more, they\u2019re actually in demand. \u201cLong sleeves are trending this season!\u201d Hanson raves. \u201cThis style is perfect for fashion-forward brides, as well as those looking for a more traditional style that provides coverage.\u201d (Use these exercises to tone your arms without lifting weights!)

Corseted gowns create curves<\/h2>\n

\"\"via simplybridal.com<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

What woman doesn\u2019t want to create the illusion of an hourglass figure on her wedding day<\/a>? Particularly if your body type is straight up and down, steal a page from the Victorian Era handbook and consider a corseted gown. They\u2019re now designed to feel far more comfortable than they look (yes, you\u2019ll be able to breathe), and they instantly trim inches from your waistline. If you need a bit of help shrinking or shaping your midsection, \u201ca corseted gown offers adjustable support for all body types,\u201d Hanson says. These dresses show off your favorite body parts.

Mermaid dresses flatter petites<\/h2>\n

According to Hanson, mermaid dresses \u201ccan add curves to a straight figure.\u201d So if you aren\u2019t blessed with voluptuous, womanly assets, use the figure-shaping silhouette of a mermaid dress to create the illusion of curves. The beauty of a mermaid dress is that if you need to add length to your body, Hanson says, \u201cthey are also very flattering for petite brides,\u201d thanks to the dropped waist and low flare, both of which elongate your torso.<\/p>\n

Ballgowns can balance out a pear shape<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

via davidsbridal.com<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

If your bottom half is slighter bigger than your upper half, look no further than a classic ballgown when you go wedding dress shopping. Not only will you feel like an absolute princess as you walk down the aisle and have your first dance, you also won\u2019t have to worry about your bottom half looking disproportionately large. \u201cA ballgown will highlight a bride\u2019s upper body, while being very forgiving for her lower body,\u201d Hanson says. This means a problematic stomach, wide hips, or a large bottom are three less things to worry about on your big day<\/a>.\n<\/div>\n

Fully fitted gowns flaunt curves<\/h2>\n

Some brides want to be covered up on their wedding day, while others hope to feel as sexy as possible. If you\u2019re looking to be a bombshell bride, we recommend considering a fully fitted gown. This style of dress will hug every inch of your body like a tight glove, leaving nothing about your shape to the imagination. They\u2019re \u201cperfect for the confident bride who would like to showcase all of her curves,\u201d Hanson says. Hey, if you\u2019ve got it, flaunt it.

Sheath dresses feminize<\/h2>\n

If you consider yourself stout, stocky, or very muscular, make sure to try on a sheath dress. Pippa Middleton, for example, is an avid marathoner and triathlete. To soften her muscular frame, Middleton famously wore a sheath dress<\/a> as Maid of Honor to the Duchess of Cambridge, which softly hung from her body and provided a feminine touch. \u201cThe sheath silhouette will elongate a bride\u2019s body, and is best for athletic or straight body types,\u201d Hanson says.

Chiffon gowns elongate short legs<\/h2>\n

via davidsbridal.com<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

We all want to feel like supermodels on our wedding day, but this can be an issue for short women. To look the part, focus on finding a flowing, chiffon gown. This angelic material often starts at your upper waist, making it perfect for creating the look of elongated legs. \u201cChiffon lends itself well to draping and is most commonly used in gowns with flowy skirts,\u201d Hanson says. A chiffon gown that grazes the floor when you\u2019re in heels can instantly add inches.<\/p>\n

Lace is universally flattering<\/h2>\n

Finally, we\u2019ve found the holy grail option all women can consider when wedding dress shopping. \u201cThe many types of lace allow each bride to showcase her individual style,\u201d Hanson says. \u201cDelicate chantilly lace is perfect for the romantic, ethereal bride, while guipure lace has a more vintage feel, and corded lace is more classic.\u201d When it comes to lace, you can worry less about your figure and more about expressing your unique personality.
