Bridal Gown Styles for Every Body Type: Flattering Fits from The House of Ivory

28th Jan 2025

Choosing that perfect dress for the most special day of your life is definitely a huge decision. You’ve probably started browsing through different bridal stores in Singapore and are already getting overwhelmed with all the options in front of you. Do you choose a classic? Do you opt for a unique cut? Which one will fit your body type the best?

To save you from the stress of finding that one perfect dress from all the luxury bridal gowns in Singapore, here are different styles for every body type:

 

The ball gown

You’ve probably pictured yourself wearing a poofy ball gown as you’re walking down the aisle, and that would actually be the perfect style for you if you have a pear-shaped body. Being a pear means having broader hips and a smaller upper body, which makes you perfect for a ball gown that highlights your waist. If you don’t want something that’s too big, you can opt for an A-line gown instead that still does the job but lighter enough for you to move around comfortably.

 

The A-line gown

The hourglass figure is perhaps the most ideal among all body shapes because you have the right proportions in both your bust and hips. This is also the easiest body type to dress up because it has the most options for a wedding dress hire. Now you want to highlight all your features in your gown, which means that an A-line silhouette would be perfect for you. Choose one with a fitted bodice to accentuate your waist and an A-line skirt that celebrates your curves in all the right places. Of course, you also want to highlight your bust line by choosing a sweetheart or V neckline. A clean silhouette with not much going on will surely celebrate your figure.

 

The full skirt gown

Are you an inverted triangle? This means that you have broader shoulders and a smaller waistline and hips. If you are, you know that looking for that perfect dress to highlight your figure can be quite a challenge. But the trick here is actually looking for styles that have scoop necklines and a full skirt. Since you have a bigger bustline, it’s ideal to go for a gown with a sleeve to balance your upper and lower body. A full skirt will add that much-needed volume to your lower body to give you that more balanced look. Now if you don’t want sleeves, you can opt for a halter or scoop neckline that helps to draw attention inwards while making your shoulders look smaller.

Knowing your body type is the first step to finding the perfect wedding dress for the biggest day of your life. Of course, it’s also very important to learn how to embrace your flaws and celebrate them instead of trying to hide them.
