1. Hourglass-Shaped Bride: Almost anything suits this body type! Hourglass-shaped will looks really good on a mermaid silhouette; a style that flares out below the knee. Don’t hide your figure with something over sized, which will drown your curves. If you are tall, find a strapless gown with corseted back which will complement the shape of your body. If you want to look taller, find a V-neckline or one-shoulder that gives an elongating style.

Look for a wedding dress with a spaghetti strap, or off-the-shoulder dress that will emphasize the neck and shoulder. Look for A-Line skirt that flares out from the natural waistline, or dress that have an empire cut.
