The Best Bridal Dress Shape for your Body – Triangle

casual wedding gowns

This shape is opposite to the pear shape. You will have wide shoulders, yet your hips are slender and smaller. The key to flattering a triangle shape is to balance out the top and bottom halves of your body, so you should choose a simple wedding dress to emphasize your bottom half to play down your wider top half.

Opt to dresses with few details on the shoulders as they will highlight the shoulders. Simple sleeves are a good bet, as is a simple bodice. To balance out the two halves of your body, choose a full or slightly flared skirt with as few details on the bodice as possible. Triangle shapes are well suited to ball gowns as the full style skirt will create a balance between your upper and lower body. Sheath unique dresses are also a good bet.

To tone down broad shoulders, a halter neck style is actually a good look as it draws the eye upwards and so narrows the shoulders. Strapless styles are also a good idea, but stay away from off-the-shoulder informal bridal gowns as they do nothing but draw attention to the shoulders.
