(I) Choose a neckline according to body shape
1. Boat neckThe boat neck gently follows the arc of the collarbone and reaches near the shoulders. For brides with smaller breasts, it can make the bride look fuller. This neckline is suitable for brides with broad shoulders and clear collarbones, but not suitable for plump brides, because the horizontal design of the boat neck may make plump brides look even stronger.2. StraplessThe strapless neckline is the most common style in wedding dress design and can show the bride's shoulder and neck lines and beautiful collarbones. But it may make petite brides look short and chubby, so petite brides should choose carefully. Strapless wedding dresses are suitable for brides with broad shoulders, clear collarbones and full breasts, and not suitable for brides with flat breasts.3. V-neckThe V-neck is considered a universally flattering style. The choice of deep V or shallow V depends on personal preference. Brides with smaller breasts will feel better in it because the V-neck can visually elongate the neck line and play a role in modifying the face shape and body shape. V-neck wedding dresses are suitable for brides with a B or C cup size and not suitable for brides with a cup size smaller than B or larger than C.(II) Choices for petite girlsPetite girls have some unique tricks when choosing wedding dresses. First of all, raising the waistline is very important. Choosing a high-waisted wedding dress can make you look taller visually and make petite brides look more slender. For example, a high-waisted A-line wedding dress with a close-fitting upper body and a gradually spreading A-shape lower body can well modify the body proportion.Secondly, petite girls should learn to highlight their strengths and avoid their weaknesses. If you are not very tall but have a good body proportion, you can choose some wedding dress styles that highlight your own advantages. If it is a problem of body proportion, it is recommended to work on the waistline and choose a belt or decoration with a sense of design to highlight the waistline.Finally, avoid wedding dresses with a large train. For petite brides, a large train will make the bride look even more petite and it is also difficult to have the aura to hold up the train wedding dress. On the contrary, a lightweight and flexible wedding dress can better reflect the agility of petite brides. For example, short wedding dresses or styles with a short front and a long back have a good visual effect of elongating the body shape.(III) Beautiful choices for different body types1. Apple body typeBrides with an apple body type usually have a plump upper body and the waist curve is usually not obvious. For brides with an apple body type, it is recommended to choose a court princess-style wedding dress. Let the romantic puff skirt design visually highlight the waistline and elongate the overall body proportion. The neckline is a square neckline with exposed shoulders. The boat neck reveals the charming collarbone and shifts the focus of the plump upper body. At the same time, avoid complicated styles on the upper body, choose a simple design to weaken the volume sense of the upper body. Avoid floor-length skirts and choose medium-length wedding dresses to reveal slender calves and achieve the effect of covering flesh and looking thinner. Avoid high necklines and choose strapless styles to expose a large area of shoulder blades and collarbones, achieving the effect of looking thinner by visually distracting.2. Avocado body typeBrides with an avocado body type usually have thin shoulders, a slim upper body and a slender waist, but become slightly plump from the hips. Suitable for choosing similar elegant and noble wedding dresses. The irregular cut of the skirt balances the overall proportion. High neckline styles should be avoided because they will make the already narrow shoulders look even narrower visually and affect the overall momentum of the dress.3. Inverted triangle body typeBrides with an inverted triangle body type usually have slender limbs, but only the shoulder proportion is slightly prominent. It is recommended to choose a soft and feminine wedding dress that can modify the shoulder curve of the inverted triangle body type and reduce the sense of drop between the narrower hips. Using the visual transfer effect, the delicate pearl decoration on the chest can better show the soft and feminine temperament and successfully modify the shoulders. The design of the puff skirt with a narrow top and a wide bottom can avoid the visual sense of being top-heavy.IV. Wedding dress design trend
