What Style Suits You?
If you are a little over weight and have big hips then the A-line, or empire line dress would be perfect for you, look for flowing full skirts as these act as a great camouflage for hiding large stomach, hips and thighs, select a dress with a detailed bodice or neckline as this will help draw the attention upwards and not to areas that you don’t want emphasised.
If you have large hips and thighs and a narrow waist look for dresses that will highlight your narrow waist that have added details like pearls, crystals or embellishments or an elaborate waistband, as this will assist in emphasising your waist so ones eye will focus on your wasp like waist.
For Women With Large Bust lines
If you have an overly large bustline, select dresses to wear to a wedding reception that have a simple bodice, with more detailing on the skirt like embroidery, sequins or embellishments this will assist in focusing the attention of the eye down to the skirt area and will draw the attention away from the chest, also if well endowed steer clear of empire line, consider v necklines, and scooped necks.
If your bustline is one of your favourable assets then draw attention to this area by choosing a dress with a v neckline or sweetheart neckline,
If You Want To Appear Taller
If you want to look taller, select dresses to wear to a wedding reception with an empire line, high neckline, sleeveless or with short capped sleeves all of these features will assist in creating an illusion of height, also of course wear some high comfortable chic footwear.
If you have wonderful shoulders then by all means show them off to their true advantage by choosing a strapless, off the shoulder, or gown with spaghetti straps.
Don’t Stress
If you are stressed out and still have not managed to purchase a gown to wear to a wedding that you adore, or most dresses that you have tried on are too tight, too loose or just don’t fit perfectly, then why not order a custom made dress as then you can be assured of getting a dress that will fit you like a glove.
Choose really good comfortable underwear try it on beforehand and make sure it is fitting you snugly and does not give you pronounced lines showing through your beautiful dress, as it would be a great pity spoiling the look of your dress by wearing sloppy ill fitting underwear, make sure the underwear is made of cotton or silk, to prevent sweating and irritation.
