Wedding dress for every body type
Hourglass body: Those with this body type have a thinner waist and curves that resemble the shape of a guitar. As it is a body that has well-distributed shapes, almost all wedding dress models suit this body. However, some pieces enhance this shape even more, such as princess-style dresses, which highlight the waist. In addition, the mermaid model is also perfect for hourglass brides, as it also highlights the silhouette.

Rectangular body: It may seem like a difficult task to find the wedding dress for every body type, but it’s not. Women who have a rectangular body, for example, which is marked by hips and shoulders of the same width, should opt for models that emphasize the waist. Therefore, one of the best options to choose is the princess model with a full skirt, as this type of dress adds volume to the hips and enhances the bust. To avoid mistakes, just avoid dresses with straight cuts.

Slightly flared skirts are also recommended.
