Our shopping editor breaks down the myths around “dressing for your body type” and, with advice from top bridal designers, shows how to find a wedding dress that’s about confidence, proportions and silhouette - not outdated rules.
I always start by understanding what a bride loves about herself and what she’d like to accentuate. For me, it’s never about “body types” it’s about highlighting the elements that make her feel most confident. When we focus on that, the dress naturally looks and feels right, because confidence is what makes someone truly shine.
Bridal gown selection is not a matter of simple “body type rules.” The human form, textiles, and garment construction interact in very complex ways, and a wedding dress carries deep emotional weight for the bride. Helping her choose is not just about proportions - it’s about how the gown supports her confidence, comfort, and presence on one of the most significant days of her life.
