Your wedding dress should make you feel like the most radiant version of yourself. While every bride is unique, understanding which silhouettes best complement your body shape can help you find a gown that enhances your natural beauty. At Posh Bridal, we’re here to guide you every step of the way!
Hourglass Shape
If you have a well-balanced bust and hips with a defined waist, embrace your curves with a gown that highlights your shape.
Best styles: Mermaid, fit-and-flare, or sheath dresses that hug your figure. A cinched waist or corset bodice will enhance your hourglass silhouette beautifully.

Pear Shape
Brides with a smaller bust and wider hips can create balance with a gown that accentuates the upper body while flowing gracefully over the hips.
Best styles: A-line or ballgown dresses with fitted bodices and voluminous skirts. Off-the-shoulder or embellished necklines draw attention upward.

Athletic Shape
Brides with a straighter, more athletic build can enhance their natural shape with details that add volume and dimension.
Best styles: Ballgowns, ruffled skirts, and fit-and-flare dresses create curves. Dresses with embellishments, ruching, or belted waistlines can add softness.

Petite Brides
For brides under 5’4”, the right gown will help elongate your frame and avoid overwhelming your stature.
Best styles: Sheath, A-line, and fit-and-flare dresses with minimal volume. High waistlines and vertical details (like lace appliqués) create the illusion of height.
