It can be a tricky task to find the perfect bridesmaid dress. If you want to know what the different body types you are and which dress flatter your body type the best, well you are in the right place.
Below are a list of different body types and suggestions for dresses from Chicloth that can make any bridesmaid feel comfortable, confident and beautiful!
The Pear Body Type
If your hips are wider than your upper body, you may have a pear-shaped figure. Women with these figures may have a smaller bust, so finding a dress that emphasizes your décolletage can balance out the proportions. The pear-shaped body is one of the most common body types and those with this body type do well in dresses that place the emphasis away from the hips. Dresses with embellishments on the shoulders or bodice are perfect. One trending style that suits pear-shaped bodies well is a flutter sleeve dress. This dress style draws attention to the chest and shoulders. An A-line or sheath bridesmaid dress can also balance out the proportion. You may also consider a dress with a high neckline as it draws attention to the upper body for a more refined look.

The Hourglass Body Type
The hourglass is the most sought-after body type because of its perfect symmetry in equal hp and bust size. Women with this body type have shoulders and hips in the same width and with a smaller midsection. Fitted dresses like mermaid bridesmaid dresses hug the outline of the silhouette before flaring out gently at or below the knee. This dress style will emphasize the proportions. For those who prefer a more relaxed look, consider a dress in lightweight fabric that does not hug the body as tightly. Or a dress with a long slit to offer better movement as you enjoy the celebration.

The Rectangle Body Type
If you have a rectangular-shaped figure, it means that your bust, waist, and hips are all equally balanced with one another. This body shape is common among athletes so choose a dress that showcases your strong features while giving you a synched waistline can create a striking look. Fit and flare dresses create a feminine silhouette with a flared bottom that contrasts the fitted midsection. Opt for a gown with halter neckline that complements the upper torso if you prefer to showcase your strong arms.

The Apple Body Type
Apple-shaped body types are characterized by a broader midsection with slimmer hips and legs. Dresses that create a more structured bodice can help to create the illusion of a more distinct waistline. Drawing attention away from the middle and either up to the shoulders, down to the legs, or both, will make this body type look stunning. Bridesmaid dresses with more structure bodice are the best for body types with larger bust. Dresses with intricate lace details or beadings on the bodice can bring the attention upwards and highlight your features.
