Tips so you don’t make mistakes when choosing your wedding dress

1 – Best models

Without a doubt, the most advisable are one-piece dresses.

No division at the abdomen line, like the bodice and skirt, or models with cutouts at the waist.

2 – Too much bust

For those with a large bust, strapless models or those with thin straps are not recommended, as they can mark the shoulder and not support the breasts.

It is also important to observe the finish of the lining, it must be reinforced from the outside to the outside to support the bust and leave the dress structured on the body.

Women with small breasts don’t need to worry about support and, therefore, can use cleavage.

But always be careful not to appear vulgar.

3 – Soften your arms

The most recommended for brides with thicker arms are models with sleeves.

Dresses with three-quarter, seven-eighth and even long sleeves are super popular, enjoy!

However, to avoid making a mistake when choosing a sleeve and running the risk of looking older, the tip is to avoid heavier fabrics and sleeves that are too closed.

Choose lace or delicate designs.

Another tip is to opt for light fabrics, tulle, organza and crepe are great choices.

4 – Protruding belly

Those brides with volume more concentrated in the front part of the abdomen and without a waist, should opt for a model with a cutout just below the bust and a skirt made of light fabrics, such as crepe, which does not mark the belly and hips.

5 – Short brides

Shorter brides should avoid pleated models with horizontal cuts, as well as models with a very long bodice and train, as they can ‘flatten’ the silhouette even more.

6 – Choice of colors

It’s always a question: Off white, cream or traditional white?

Contrary to popular belief, white does not increase or highlight the belly, but you need to pay attention to the dress model and choose what suits your body type.

Colorful wedding dresses, such as red, should be avoided, as well as rough textures and reliefs, or even lace with “giant” designs.

Another thing, restrict the brightness to a few points, so as not to draw attention to ‘unwanted places’, such as the bust and abdominal region.
