Choosing an outfit is probably the most responsible event for a bride in pre-wedding chores. If the organization of a wedding can be entrusted to specialists, then the choice of outfit can be entrusted only to your loved one.

Many people think that with the current assortment and in large numbers wedding salons with the choice of attire will not have any particular difficulties. Indeed, the choice of outfits is huge, but because of this, it’s more difficult to navigate, but you need to make a choice so that it matches the figure, tastefully, and the concept of the wedding. We hope that the information provided will help you decide on an outfit.

If you are picky and think that your figure is non-standard and does not correspond to any common type, then the ideal solution for you is a custom tailoring of a wedding dress. Although first you still need to decide on the style. How? Having studied your figure and understanding what type it is close to. After choosing a style, you can start modeling, changing details such as neckline, waist height, skirt fluffiness, the presence and location of draperies, etc. So you will find your model and be able to order tailoring. All in order to make your figure visually close to ideal.

How to choose a wedding dress according to your figure?

It will not be a sensational discovery for anyone that with the help of clothes you can profitably present the dignity of the figure, as well as hide some flaws or emphasize body features.

Before you go for an outfit, evaluate your figure one more time in front of the mirror. Determine your body type: hourglass, pear, apple, inverted triangle? This is important to know, because you want to look perfect at your wedding! Decide where you would like to visually add volume, and where you want to reduce.

By the way, be sure to check the size as well. The fact is that one of the mistakes that brides make when choosing a dress is buying an outfit 1-2 sizes larger. Remember that only an outfit of your size will emphasize all your beauty!

Now about the figure itself. What should be? If you are different magnificent forms, you may want to hide the fullness a little due to the corset of the dress. And because of this, the most unexpected incidents can occur during the holiday. The fact is that lacing in corsets is more of a decorative character and is not intended for excessive loads. Unable to withstand the load, it can burst at the most unexpected moment, completely spoiling the mood. Therefore, heed the advice of such a plan: do not pull yourself away, but buy a dress with a good cut that allows you to gently hide the fullness.

A dress with an A-line and vertical cut lines is probably the best option for a full bride and for a bride in a position for a short time. Do not choose tight-fitting outfits, exclude lace frills and wide sleeves. Pay attention to outfits made of matte fabrics. Remember that glossy wedding and evening dresses tend to emphasize all figure flaws.

Universal A-silhouette that hides many figure flaws

If you are the owner of a large bust and want to choose a dress with a corset, pay attention to models of dresses with sleeves or wide straps. Distribute the load of the corset so that it extends to the shoulders, otherwise you risk getting a broken corset.

One more tip: when going to a bridal salon, take a digital camera and a partner with you - looking at yourself in different dresses in the photo, you can definitely understand which one suits you the most.

How to choose a wedding dress by height?

When choosing an outfit, one should take into account such a parameter as the height of the bride. A dress with a plunging neckline and high waist will look perfect on a short bride. With the help of additional accessories, you can “grow up” a little in the eyes of others. So, for example, long gloves make the bride visually taller. This effect can be achieved by choosing a dress with short sleeves or no sleeves at all.

For brides of average height with a normal physique, there are practically no restrictions. But if there is completeness, you should choose simple styles with a small number of finishing elements.

Brides with height above average can be advised a tight-fitting dress - this will emphasize the harmony of the figure. If the tight-fitting option does not suit you, evaluate yourself in the mirror in an outfit with a low waist, puffy sleeves and a wide belt.

If mother nature rewarded you with high growth, while the physique is thin, you can advise you to visually enlarge the hips and chest with a magnificent wedding dress - with frills and draperies in the chest, shoulders and hips. If this option is excluded, take a closer look at the outfits made of velveteen, satin, moire, fitting the figure.

What are the styles of wedding dresses and which one to choose?

Not all brides can boast of perfect body shapes, however, with the help of the style of the dress, you can hide something, and, on the contrary, emphasize something. In order to start “adding” or “removing” when choosing an outfit, you must first of all have a clear idea of the existence various kinds styles, otherwise an incorrectly chosen style will not only not emphasize the beauty of the bride’s forms, but can also ruin any figure, even if it is perfect. So, the styles of wedding dresses are like this ...

Wedding dress "Empire": who suits?

This style refers us to the era of Natasha Rostova. The peculiarity of the outfits in this style is the high waist, located just below the chest, turning into a skirt - narrow or flared.

Dresses in this style are sewn from light fabrics. For the top, for example, you can use brocade, and for the skirt - satin.

In summer models top part dresses with straps or without them at all, and in winter versions there are usually wide sleeves.

The outfit in the style of "Empire" is very useful for expectant mothers or for brides of short stature, as well as for obese women. Dresses in this style hide figure flaws well. This is a great solution for women with clearly expressed type"Apple". Also suitable for pears.

If in the dress model the upper part is made of dense material, and the skirt is made of light airy fabric, then this option will suit the owner of a small chest.

If the bride has large breasts, this does not mean that the empire dress is not suitable. Due to the square cutout, you can visually reduce the volume (is it necessary?). To achieve a similar effect, you should abandon models with an embroidered top. Do not use overly voluminous jewelry.

“Puff” Empire: will hide the fullness and tummy

Wedding dress style "Princess": for which figure?

The lines of the dress of this style are reminiscent of the letter "A". Such dresses are also called trapeziums and dresses in the style of "Princess". A-line dresses are very versatile: they are suitable for any celebration and for any figure.

By changing some details (for example, the length of the dress or the location of the waistline, etc.), it is possible in one case to hide the flaws of the figure, and in the other, on the contrary, to emphasize. So, for example, for women with an apple-shaped figure, a short or long A-line dress with a high waist, from which the skirt expands, is suitable. That is, the lines of the waist and abdomen of the woman in this case are gently hidden, and not emphasized. But ladies with a “pear” figure can choose a “princess” dress with an accentuated waist. A-line skirt at the same time will hide the excessive splendor of the hips.

A-line dress with high waist: suitable for overweight girls and pregnant brides with a small animal

For sewing A-line dresses, any fabrics are used. For example, if a classic bridal look is planned, then light silk will come in handy.

If the model of the dress has a complex style, you should choose heavier fabrics, such as organza or satin.

To give originality to a simple outfit, you can decorate it by using rhinestones, beads, etc.

The style of the wedding dress "Straight": simplicity or elegance?

In some sources, this style is referred to as "sheath". What is the peculiarity of this style? A dress made in this style fits the figure, showing all the curves of the body.

We would like to note that although the straight cut looks very simple, but due to the many modeling methods, you can improve the outfit to infinity.

For those who want to look sexy and elegant, you can choose a straight dress without straps, and the fabric is suitable for one that can emphasize the lines of your body (for example, light silk or organza).

For a bride with a romantic look, a straight dress with long sleeves and a boat neckline is suitable.

This straight dress can be recommended for brides of short stature: due to the elongated style, you can slightly “grow up” in the eyes of others. Also, this style can be recommended for tall brides with a thin physique, but with the presence of roundness. If you want to add volume to the figure, a straight dress is absolutely not suitable.

Ball style wedding dress is always relevant!

In other sources, this style may be referred to as a "fairy tale" or "ballroom".

Dresses of this style can be recommended for brides with a "banana" (very slim and elongated figure) and "pear" (light top, heavy bottom) physique. For ladies with an “apple” physique, such a dress may not be suitable, as it will emphasize the absence of a waist. Dresses "ball" are also suitable for owners of very large breasts, because with the help of a wide skirt you can visually equalize the top and them, bringing the figure closer to the ideal "hourglass" physique.

Dresses "ball" are suitable for both tall girls and brides of average height. But for petite girls, it is better to choose a dress of a different style.

The puffy skirt of the "ball" dress will emphasize the bride's waist, help hide too wide hips and, importantly, a small tummy.

Such dresses are sewn from almost any fabric. In order to emphasize the graceful silhouette, use satin or chiffon. To increase the volume of the skirt, materials such as taffeta, tulle, organza are used.

If you need to highlight the top, the top is decorated with beads, embroidery.

A dress in this style can be supplemented with a train, and of any length.

Mermaid wedding dress: only for curvy ones

We want to immediately note that dresses in this style are not suitable for every bride. It looks perfect on women with a slender figure, close to the hourglass type, and height does not play a special role here. Due to the fact that the mermaid style dress has tight-fitting forms, it is undesirable to choose it for brides with extra pounds.

Very relevant in 2011 “mermaid”

It is worth paying attention to other important features of this model. The first is that very light, transparent fabrics are usually used for sewing, and since the style is tight-fitting, others will be able to observe not only the lines of your body (folds on the body), but also the contours of underwear. Second, the dress of this model has narrowed lines, so in it you will not be able to move in the volume in which you are used to.

How to choose the color of a wedding dress?

Of course, traditional color weddings are considered white, but, as one comic hero said, traditions, like plates, exist in order to be broken.

By the way, we want to note that white can also have shades. To verify this, try on one white dress and go to another white dress - you can easily catch the difference in shades. Therefore, choose a white wedding dress in good lighting - preferably daylight. Artificial lighting can give whites a different hue.

Modern tastes are so diverse that now you can meet a bride even in a black dress (this is, of course, a rarity, but still a given). To say that you need to choose one or another color of the outfit is actually wrong, because every bride has her own concepts and ideas about taste and fashion. Therefore, we want to give advice on choosing in accordance with your color type. So…

The color of the wedding dress according to the color type of the bride:

For blondes with fair skin you can recommend dresses with a rich apricot, golden, white color.

Gray-eyed bride with blond hair we recommend considering options for a white outfit with light color shades or with bright elements (lilac, greenish, pink).

red-haired bride with brown eyes a cream-colored wedding dress and shades close to it (splashes of champagne, ivory, etc.) will do.

An outfit in silver gray or pale pink will look beautiful on bride with dark hair and fair skin .

For a dark-skinned burning brunette suitable wedding dress in white, cream, golden, red tones.

Well, that's probably all we wanted to say to our brides. We hope, armed with this knowledge, you will boldly go to the salon or atelier and choose for yourself the best outfit in which you will become the queen of the wedding ball.

Bride - the main thing actor at any wedding. It is to her that the attention of all guests will be attracted. Any girl dreams of looking not just beautiful on such a day, but brilliant and dazzling.

It is worth looking into fashion magazines or visiting trading floors, and it becomes obvious that this business is far from being so simple. Undoubtedly, the dress should be fashionable, successfully hide flaws, emphasize all the advantages of the figure and face. The style is also selected in accordance with the theme of the celebration.

And if the corset restricts breathing, the armhole cuts under the armpits, the bones dig into the body, the holiday will no longer be a joy.

Now about the color. In the latest collections of European fashion designers, there are even black outfits for brides. In the spring-summer season of 2013, red, chocolate, blue and purple shades are in great favor. However, if a wedding is expected after registration, it is better to coordinate the color of the dress with the priest. For some unknown reason, some colors, such as purple, are considered unacceptable in the church.

Stylists share a little trick on how to choose a wedding dress by color type.
In fact, the traditional white shade is not suitable for anyone. Only a winter-type girl can afford it. Snow White is its bright representative: black hair and eyebrows, light, even skin with a pronounced blush.

The gentle image of a spring girl will emphasize the color of baked milk, blue, pistachio. Any bright colors are contraindicated for her. Against their background, "spring" looks too pale. One of the most famous representatives of this color type -
Paris Hilton.

"Summer" girls should prefer light beige, milky white, light green. Looks great on representatives of this color type. An example is Uma Thurman.

Most often, the problem of how to choose a wedding dress is quite acute for brides whose figure is far from ideal. In this case, the "Empire" models are very helpful - detachable under the bust and loose at the waist. By the way, this style is also suitable for brides in interesting position.

Suits are perfect for full ladies, the upper part of which is made of thick silk.

Excess weight- this is not always a lack of proportions. In this case, one-piece, semi-adjacent silhouette dresses look the best. Feel free to emphasize the waist, even if your parameters are far from model ones.

There are no restrictions on the length of the dress. However, in this matter there are rules of etiquette. A short dress is best for an informal ceremony. For a wedding in a church, the length to the floor or ankle length is more suitable. Our great-grandmothers had a curious sign: the longer the train of the wedding dress, the happier it will be. married life.

In conclusion, we will give a couple more tips on how to choose a wedding dress in a bridal salon. As a rule, the buyer is confused by the abundance of styles and models. Many admit that after the second or third fitting, all dresses already look about the same. So before heading out to the store, make sure you have a clear idea of what you want. You can take with you a sketch or photo of the model you like. Grab a friend or relative with you who can appreciate the view from the side.

Do not limit your choice to one or two styles. Sometimes the effect is quite unexpected, so feel free to try on everything that fits in size.

Don't rush to buy. Take time out to create a complete image in your head: dress, handbag, jewelry, shoes, bouquet. Only after the whole "puzzle" is formed, you can safely go to the checkout.

Before choosing a wedding dress, you need to carefully study the entire range and select models that are suitable for the type of figure. Stylists talk about which wedding dress to choose in a given situation.

Often girls ask stylists about which wedding dress to choose. In fact, it is better to choose a wedding dress according to the type of figure, and not just focusing on your taste.

Before choosing a wedding dress, you need to carefully weigh all the advantages and disadvantages of your own figure. Professional stylists believe that there are no ugly figures. It's just that women often do not know how to choose clothes in such a way as to present themselves in the most advantageous light.

With the help of improperly selected clothes, you can spoil it very badly. appearance representatives of the fair sex. The statement that all brides are beautiful in their own way is, of course, true, but it must also be remembered that with the help of a properly selected wedding dress, you can make the appearance of the bride even more irresistible.

AT recent times Lush wedding dresses are very popular. Girls often choose just such a style, because in one of the most important days they want to look like royalty in their lives. Indeed, in the future, perhaps they will no longer have a reason to wear such an outfit. Meanwhile, magnificent wedding dresses are not for everyone. They emphasize the beauty of tall and slender girls. Tiered skirts set off their grace and elegance. Brides of small stature, such outfits are not quite suitable. They make them visually even lower. Such an outfit will visually make full ladies even fuller, especially if the sleeves of the dress are quite lush.

Currently, fashion designers create great amount dresses of various styles and shades. Each bride can choose something suitable from the assortment presented in the stores. The beauty of tall and slender brides will be emphasized by a floor-length dress with a straight or fitted silhouette. It is very important to pay attention to details. If a girl has a rather beautiful neckline, then it is quite possible to open it. You can also choose a dress with a closed neckline, but the back of the dress can be completely open. In combination with the length of the dress, a deep neckline on the back will look really impressive.

If the girl is very thin, it is better for her to choose a dress with ruffles sewn in the chest area. Straight flowy outfits this case not entirely appropriate. Such girls will go dresses with frills, flounces. The lower part of the wedding dress should not be narrowed or straight. It is better if the skirt expands slightly towards the bottom.

Short wedding dresses are suitable for girls whose figure is close to ideal. In this case we are talking about mini dresses. Dresses up to the knee and a little lower can afford ladies with any type of figure. The main thing is that the style is appropriate. Brides with curvy shapes should choose dresses that visually hide extra volumes. These properties are possessed by outfits of a semi-adjacent silhouette. It is very important that the outfit does not fit its owner in the most problematic places. At the same time, too loose a cut also does not look very good.

Recently, A-line dresses have become very popular. Such outfits are perfect for both thin brides and those whose figure is far from ideal. The dress will make fragile girls even more refined, tender. At the same time, such models are perfect for girls whose figure is developed according to the male type, or for those whose hips and chest are not so pronounced. For example, if the bride has narrow hips, a trapezoid silhouette will help visually correct this shortcoming. This style is perfect for those who have fairly wide hips. The lower part of the dress, which has the shape of a trapezoid, will hide this flaw without weighing down the image. A-silhouette will adorn a girl who has problems with her waistline. At the same time, in some cases, you should not even supplement the outfit with a belt. Dresses of this style are often chosen by brides who are in an "interesting position". This outfit allows you to hide the protruding tummy. By itself, the A-line is quite simple, so these dresses need sophisticated finishing or accessorizing. As a rule, such outfits are knee-length, as well as a little higher or lower. Too long dresses of this style do not look very beautiful.

Girls who can boast of having a very thin waist can be offered to choose an outfit that focuses on this particular part of the body. For example, dresses with a belt, detachable at the waist level, look very impressive. Empire style dresses are suitable for petite brides. This style will visually make them taller and slimmer.

In order to correct the figure, focus on its advantages and hide flaws, fashion designers often use contrasting inserts. This does not mean at all that the dress should be white, and the inserts should be black or red. The shade of the inserts can be only 1-2 tones darker than the shade of the main fabric that was used when sewing the outfit. For example, to visually make the silhouette thinner and remove excess volume in the waist and hips, you can choose a white dress with inserts in the shade of baked milk. Such details look much more impressive if they are sewn from lace or some other interesting materials.

You can visually lengthen the silhouette with an empire-style dress, the upper part of which is made of creamy lace sewn onto the lining, and the lower part is made of white fabric. When choosing an outfit, not only the style is important, but also the fabric from which it is sewn. Curvaceous brides are not recommended to choose dresses made of shiny fabrics. White color visually fills, therefore, those who have certain problems with being overweight should also think about the color of the wedding dress. Today it is absolutely not necessary to choose a dress of snow-white color. Champagne-colored outfits, beige dresses, cream-colored outfits, baked milk shades are in fashion. In addition, many girls do not fit the white color of clothing in accordance with the theory of color types. For example, it is perfect for a contrasting brunette, but for a girl belonging to the autumn color type, it is better to choose a not so active white color. In this case, an outfit of a shade of baked milk would be much more appropriate.

Sleeveless outfits are only suitable for owners beautiful hands. If the bride is not quite young or has problems with being overweight, it is better to pay attention to dresses with long or short sleeves. The main thing is that all problem areas are closed. It should be noted that under any wedding outfit you need to choose the right shoes very correctly. If the dress is not very long, you need to pick up shoes with stable heels. This is necessary to balance the image. Sandals are completely unsuitable for creating a wedding look, especially if they have both the heel and the toe open. Under the outfit you need to choose the right tights or stockings. It is better if they are a neutral shade.

Before choosing the right wedding dress, you need to carefully look at your own appearance and evaluate all your advantages and disadvantages in order to present yourself favorably.

Idea
As in any business, you need to determine a specific goal, a semantic load. What will the outfit express, since the center of any is the bride. The dress should in any case emphasize the merits and hide the shortcomings. But the range of sensations is great. Clothing affects posture, gait, and behavior. The initial choice should depend on who you feel like on your own holiday. A queen in rhinestones, a goddess with drapes, a cute shepherdess with touching ruffles, a riddle in chiffon, a bobbed sexy predator - a dress will help create the desired image. But it is important that it is in harmony with the inner mood and message. After all, in the end, the dress once again should emphasize what he did right choice rather than shock everyone present.

Budget
The search for a decent option sharply narrows the availability of free monetary units. The cost of the dress varies depending on the manufacturer, material, complexity of the cut and style, and, of course, the source of purchase. Focusing on the budget, it can be tailor-made, consumer goods, rental and grandmother's chest. Do not be upset if you can’t make it in time for a sale in Milan or try to save money by choosing a dress according to the principle “both in society and in people”. Practice shows that you still can’t wear it to another event, and a wine stain on an expensive outfit can upset a wedding. The golden mean is a rational approach and a calm understanding that this day is the only one for many, but far from the last.

Style
The idea and budget are approved and the fun begins. Grow legs, reduce hips, find or give birth before the wedding does not have time. Yes, and not why, all this can be just a dress and adjusted. After all, there is an opportunity to choose a dress for yourself, and not to adjust yourself to a dress. Many styles come down to the basic 4-5 silhouettes for the main body types. In front of a mirror it looks like this:
Above a lot, a little
It is compensated by fizhma, drapery on the hips, V-shaped neckline on the chest.
A lot below, little above
Center line under the bust, voluminous embroidery at the top of the dress, tight top, the fabric on the hips should not fit snugly.
Guitar (hourglass)
The choice is richer, but very voluminous puffy dresses can drown out all natural forms.
Where will the waist be (sport type, apple, etc.)
Corsage of various variations.
Ball gowns are contraindicated for low ones, dresses of a straight silhouette are slender and very high.

note

The dress should be comfortable. Strongly narrowed bottom, narrow bodice, caustic material will force the bride to breathe through time, itch, walk with side steps and with assistants to the ladies' room. Given brides' tendency to stress-eat, and weddings are definitely on the list, the dress shouldn't be tight. And if the plans do not include unexpectedly showing guests stockings and garters, it is better to check the strength of the cut and seams in advance.

Helpful advice

Color and material
An important role is played by the color and material of the selected option. If you focus on traditional white, then you need to pay attention to its shades, suitable for the type of skin. White is a synthesis of all colors and can play along or put a "pig". And if a lady has a noble skin pallor or a vascular blush, too warm shades can cause irreparable damage and spoil general impression. For young ladies solar type milky and creamy tones are closer, and a cold pinkish tint will fade the skin with yellowness. Lace goes well in a wedding dress, but only as accents, satin flows exquisitely, but can treacherously emphasize some body irregularities, brocade keeps its shape, but it will not be possible to gracefully drape it. In the final successful version, the bride and the dress should represent a single whole.

What are wedding dresses: styles and varieties

Each style of dress has its own variations and varieties. Therefore, you do not need to think that all dresses of the same style look the same. It is always possible to decorate it with details, add ruffles, choose a different fabric or change the neckline.

Classic ball gown. A timeless puffy dress with a fitted top and an open neckline. No matter how much this style is called “cream cake”, but such dresses will never go out of fashion. They help girls feel like real princesses at the ball in puffy skirts and lace. A fluffy skirt hides the imperfections of the hips and balances the figure, making the waist thinner. With the help of such a dress, which usually comes with rings and a special mesh skirt, you can create an exciting romantic look. Embroidery, lace and satin bows complete the outfit. Tall, slender brides will look especially beautiful and stately in such dresses.

Empire. Incredibly delicate and romantic dresses in the Empire style will suit many girls. They feature a high waistline, fitted bodice and a light, flowing fabric at the bottom, which smoothly wraps around, but does not fit the figure. Empire dresses have many variations: an oblique top on one shoulder, open or closed arms, a complete lack of straps, light flying sleeves. The accent of the dress is on the chest. But everything below this style will successfully emphasize and veil the flaws. It is undesirable to choose empire dresses for girls with large breasts. In this case, the figure will look heavier than required.

Fish or year. These dresses have come into fashion relatively recently. The "fish" style has a tight silhouette, the skirt expands from the knee. Such dresses look very elegant, although they are inconvenient for wild fun, as they hinder movements a little. However, not all dresses of this style will pull you down to impossibility; there are skirts with a looser cut. If you order a dress online, be prepared to pay the seamstress as well. A fish dress does not always look beautiful. For such a tight dress, there must be a perfect figure.

A line. These are dresses that resemble the letter A in outline, that is, the top is tight-fitting, non-fluffy, the skirt smoothly expands downwards. Usually these dresses do not have ruffles. Their silhouette is very neat, but at the same time looks solemn. Among the decorations may be small satin bows, embroidery, lace, thin straps. These dresses with a closed lace top look very beautiful. Fashionable belts and details of a different color will make the image bright and memorable.

Straight dress. The straight cut of the dress is suitable for ladies who want to demonstrate all the advantages of their figure. A simple but very elegant straight dress will emphasize everything you need: chest, long legs, and a thin waist. Therefore, such dresses are more often chosen by slender or thin brides. A straight dress usually does not have catchy details. The main focus is on simplicity. However, you can complement it with a lace top, an exquisite belt or neat neat flounces.

Mini. Short wedding dresses are becoming more and more popular. Among the mass of information about which wedding dresses are in fashion, mini special place.
