The Best Bridal Dress Shape for your Body – Pear

Lace Wedding Dress

Pear shaped bodies are the most common among women, which means that a lot of unique bridal gowns are being made just for you.  A woman who is pear shaped tends to have hips that are wider than her shoulders, and the waist is well defined on both sides.

For a pear shape, the best option is to look for an A-line style dress. If it has a low waistline it will be particularly flattering, but it’s best to steer clear of destination wedding dresses with skirts that are too full as they will only emphasize your lower half. Ball gowns are a good bet for slimmer pear shapes but make sure that you pick the right style skirt to avoid accentuating your lower half.

Whichever style you pick, try accentuating an area that you feel more confident about, such as a small waist. This will make it easier to draw attention away from your hips. Try accentuating the upper half of your body through strapless or halter neck unusual wedding gowns to draw the eye away from your lower half.
