Types of Dresses for Bridesmaids

Posted by Here Comes the Bride on February 27th, 2019

Bridesmaids are part of the bride’s team at her wedding, and are usually unwed young girls. One of the group is designated as the maid of honour. They are meant to assist the bride during her wedding, and to give her company. Most bridesmaids also help out the bride before the wedding, and in related events like bachelorette party or bridal shower.

On your wedding day, you are the cynosure of all eyes and the centre of attraction. But your bridesmaids are an equally important part of this special day. While your attention will be focussed on your own look and your time will be spent in bridal shops in San Diego, you also need to ensure that your bridesmaids look their best. For this you need to help them select dresses that are best suited for their particular body shape. Here is a quick primer for you.

The Pear: The hip and thighs are the places where pear shaped women carry most of their weight. The best bet for them is a crisp A-line skirt paired with thin straps over the shoulders. This is a garment that is very easy to find in most wedding dress shops in San Diego.

Busty: You know where all the attention would be for women with generous busts, so strapless numbers are a strict no-no. We recommend a one shoulder ensemble, or if that sounds too adventurous, then you can go for a crossover neckline. When the lady has so much to draw attention to, a conservative dress is the best.

Willowy: Every group of bridesmaids has that one girl who towers above everyone else. But these tall lasses are the easiest to find a dress for. A column strapless gown would look very elegant on her. A short strappy dress is also a good bet.

Curvy: When you are shopping for bridesmaid dresses San Diego for ladies who are well rounded at the right places, do not make the mistake of looking to hide those curves. Have them, flaunt them, we say. Go for cap sleeves if you want. Make sure you put in some work at the waist to highlight that hourglass.

Flat: There would be bridesmaids who have not flowered into women yet, but remember there are many famous actresses who have the boy-shape. So you need not attempt to hide such bridesmaids. A strapless short dress which is tucked in at the waist should do the trick.
