How to choose the right formal dress for your shape
- December 22, 2020
If you're in the market for a beautiful formal gown, you may be feeling overwhelmed by the choices. Considering your unique body type will help you to narrow down the selection. Let's take a look at how to choose a formal dress for your shape.
Large Bust
If you're larger in the chest area, it's wise to avoid tent dresses or those with a straight shape. A gown that hangs straight down your body can make you look heavy. Look for a shape that cinches your natural waist. Sleeveless or strapless is good, as long as the top isn't too tight. Just be sure you find a properly fitted and supportive bra. That is key.
Small Bust
Ladies on the opposite end of the spectrum in terms of bus size will want to consider a low v-neck, as it will enhance what you have and create a look of cleavage. A sweetheart neckline or a dress with lots of embellishments on the top are also good choices.
Petite
If you're short, a mini dress paired with tall heels can really make your legs look sleek, long and lean. When opting for a floor-length dress, choose one that is form fitting and hangs straight. Any added material can overwhelm you.

Tall
One-shoulder gowns can help to make shoulders seem less broad and add emphasis to long, sleek arms. Also, tall girls can really rock a floor length dress.
Pear Shape
Pear shaped gals should look for a dress that's a lighter shade on the top and darker on the bottom. This visual trick will balance your shape out. Details around the neckline, a large necklace or sophisticated up do can draw the eye away from your larger bottom half.
Keep these body shape guidelines in mind when shopping the designer wedding dress collection for bridal dresses or evening gowns this spring and summer season.
