Wedding Dress

Yep!
I havent decide on anything yet, nothing at all. Masih dalam mood survey.
Like I said in my previous entry, I met with mr. designer last 2 weeks but we havent decide on the color, theme, design and what not. In fact, we havent decide whether he s gonna be our designer or not, yet.

Erm...tapi one good thing is that aku belek blog orang yang nak kawin ni almost everyday and I found many useful info. COntohnya pasal wedding dress. Aku ni kan badan besar, en.tunang pulak tak berapa nak besar (but en.tunang telah gain few kilos!!!! woot!woot!). Jadi, kalau silap design nti, nampak lagi besar dan tak cantik...

Info ni sesuai laa untuk sesiapa yang nak buat dress untuk raya ke, dinner ker, event ke etc...



Pear Shaped(Spoon Body Shaped)
This is the most common body shape - hips are wider than shoulders, waist is usually quite well defined.

What suit's
Strapless, V-neck or scooped necklines, possibly in off shoulder styles. A-line is the best shape, but avoid too full a skirt. Empress line can also work well. Diagonal draping on the bodice is very flattering.

What to Avoid
Halter-necks or high cut necks make hips look bigger. Bias or straight cut dresses also emphasis hips, as do full, gathered or pleated skirts. Avoid any bulk around the hips. Mermaid styles just won't work.



Rectangle Shaped
Here the hips and shoulders are about the same width, and there is not much definition at the waist.

What suit's
Go for a waistline with a V shape at the front to create the illusion of a smaller waist. Structured and corseted bodices with fairly full skirts also achieve this effect. Empire line styles particularly well as do bias cuts if you are tall. Keep necklines wide and use detailing either above or below the waist, not both.

What to Avoid
Halter necks or high necks make the shoulders look narrow and as result do not flatter the waist. Avoid ruching or draping in the waist area. Straight cut dresses are in danger of making you look boxy.

Triangle Shaped
Really an inverted triangle, with the shoulders wider than the hips. Most models are this shape.

What suit's
Bias cut or straight cut dresses can look very sophisticated, and this shape can easily take very full ball gown styles. Halter-necks or higher cut necks balance shoulders and hips and flatter a smaller chest. Bustles or bows in the hip area can add shapeliness.
What to Avoid
Very low cut neckline can make you look "all top" unless carefully balanced. Avoid full or very fancy sleeves and wider necklines.



Hourglass Shaped
Hips and shoulders are the same width and there is a well defined waist. Think Marilyn Monroe!

What suit's
Strapless, V-neck or scooped neckline. Off shoulder styles work well but in any case keep the neckline quite low. A-line is a good shape; a shapely mermaid style works well for slimmer hourglasses. Use ruching or draping to disguise less perfect bits!

What to Avoid

Bias cut or straight dresses don't suit the typical curves of the hourglass unless you are very tall and slim. Gathered or pleated skirts can make your hips look big, so be careful. Empire styles will hide your best features.
