By the time you're ready to start wedding dress shopping,
you've probably amassed a pretty nice-sized wish list about your dream
gown. But how do you find the best wedding dress for your body type?
Most bridal shops will only let you book an hour-long appointment. And,
while one hour is plenty of time to try on dresses, if you can narrow
down your options before stepping foot in the dressing room, you're in
for a much more pleasant, laid-back shopping experience.

One
easy way to limit your options is to choose the best wedding dress for
your body type by finding a silhouette that will highlight your
best-loved assets and conceal your less-favorable traits. To start,
figure out which of our five featured body types best defines your
figure: Petite, plus size,
busty, hourglass or lean and straight. And remember, you may not fit
squarely into one category — most people don t! Take Kim Kardashian:
She's petite, busty and has (insane) hourglass curves. And, her wedding
dress (ahem, the Givenchy Haute Couture one she wore a few years back to marry Kanye West) with its sheath silhouette, modest neckline and waist-baring cut-outs, was the perfect complement to her shape.
Along with finding the right gown for your body type, there are a few other things that can help make your wedding dress shopping experience
as easy as possible. First, trust your consultant and don't be afraid
to try on gowns he or she suggests that fall outside of your traditional
comfort zone. Also shop with a supportive crew! Miss Negativity does
not deserve a sacred spot on the "yay-or-nay" team.
And finally, do your makeup and hair. It will be much easier to imagine wearing one of these gowns on your wedding day if you don't look like you just rolled out of bed.

Wedding Dresses for Hourglass Body Types
Work
your womanly curves in a bodycon bridal gown or hide your hips in a big

section.
