Hi ladies,
It is such a huge task to find a bridal lehenga that will fulfill all your dreams and expectations. When you are slightly on the curvier side, you need to keep these few pointers in your mind, the next time you go hunting for your D-day attire.
Aim for figure flattering not fitting:
You should look for a wedding attire that is neither too loose and nor too tight! It should hug your body perfectly without any discomfort and should accentuate your curves in best possible way.
Go for drapey fabrics:
Drapey fabric like georgette will hug your body perfectly and stiff fabrics like raw silk or velvet will add more bulk. So try different fabrics and go for the one that suits you the best.
Consider the neckline:
The neckline of your blouse plays an important role in shaping your wedding attire. Curvy or apple shaped brides can go for sweetheart, wide-necked, low-cut blouses and subtle V-necklines to show off their curves in the best possible way.
Avoid high necklines:
If you are top heavy then avoid high necklines as they make you look bulkier and make your neck look shorter in comparison. You also need to avoid boat neck designs as they will make your shoulder look broader than usual.
Go for longer neckpieces:
Neck hugging necklaces can make your neck look shorter! You can choose to go for delicate and longer neckpieces in varying lengths to take the attention away from pear shaped body.
Choose three-quarter length sleeves:
If you have heavy arms then you do not need to worry as you can go for three-quarter length sleeves in your blouses to conceal the heavy arm area. You can choose sheer fabrics with embroidery and embellishments around the sleeve.
Look for smaller motifs:
Big prints and embellishments can make you look bigger in comparison. Go for smaller and delicate motifs and embellishments to give your body a slimmer look.
Choose the colors wisely:
If you want an overall slimming appearance then go for a single solid colour or colours from the same colour family and base your whole outfit around it be it your blouse, dupatta or lehenga! Stay away from super-contrasting pieces and colours.
Go for high waisted lehenga skirts:
They hide the tummy bulge in best possible way and they are all in rage nowadays. You can style them up with different cholis or blouses and you can also experiment with different draping styles of dupatta.
