The Best Bridal Dress Shape for your Body – Rectangular

wedding dresses

If your hips and shoulders are at about the same width, then you are a rectangular shaped bride.  You probably also do not have a lot of waist definition. To flatter a rectangular shape, you should look for destination bridal gowns that create the illusion of curves.

Any dress that has a waistline with a V-shape will help define your waist.  Corsets and structured tops that have a fuller bottom will also go a long way to help give your body some shape.  For you taller rectangular shaped women, try on some unusual wedding dresses that feature a bias cut or an empire waistline, and for all women you should attempt to keep detailing either above or below your waist.

Don’t choose any plus size wedding gowns that are halter style or that offer high necks.  These will narrow your shoulders and make you appear disproportionate.
