Modest Wedding Gowns: They Do Exist

By John Jones


It is important to choose a wedding dress that accentuates and flatters your best features. This boils down to knowing your body type and choosing the style of dress that suits you best. If you have a clear idea of your body type and what suits you, your wedding dress shopping experience is sure to be a stress free affair.

Apple shaped bride: This shape is usually top heavy, with the upper body being wider than the lower body, that is "wider top and smaller bottom". Apples do not have a defined mid section and usually have large ample bosoms. If you are apple shaped, avoid halter and off the shoulder necklines that accentuate your shoulders and upper body, you should rather opt for a style that balances the proportion of your lower and upper body. Empire or 'A' line is the best style for this body shape.

The intricate and detailed bodice work in today's summer wedding dress collections can make you feel like a princess. The look is very rich and flattering but doesn't have to cost a fortune, either.While the top portion of a summer wedding dress may be more lightweight and made of less material, it's really the fullness and length of the skirt that is chosen to match the formalness of the location.

A very simple halter top with some delicate beaded trim can evoke one look when the skirt is flowing and knee length and can become something very different when the skirt is very full and formal.This gives brides a very simple rule to follow when shopping for a dress to wear at a summer ceremony. Choose the upper portion of the dress so that the details are flattering and yet comfortable in a warmer temperature. Choose the style for the bottom portion of the dress based on the formalness of the wedding venue.

Even if a gown designer cannot make a custom pattern change to make the dress you love more appropriate, a good seamstress can often work wonders. Many brides have "modesty panels" added to the front of their gowns, which effectively raises the neckline to make it less revealing.
