Breasts are great…
But there’s a time and a place for cleavage. And that time and place is not on your wedding day.
While most top-heavy ladies will feel grateful for their God-given assets every other day of the year, for your wedding it’s generally advised to keep things demure and covered up just a little bit. I mean, this ain’t a good look. Am I right?
However, if you are top heavy, this is easier said than done as it can be difficult to find a dress which perfectly flatters your figure. So here are a few handy tips.
How to know if you’re top heavy
A top heavy silhouette, also known as the inverted triangle body type, will have broad shoulders and wear a large bra size of at least a D cup. They will usually be one size or more bigger in tops and shirts than in bottoms.
Do’s for top heavy brides
As with most body types, the goal is to establish the illusion of an hourglass silhouette. Top heavy brides can do this by creating width at the bottom of their wedding dress to balance out the top.
A-line wedding dresses are ideal to achieve this. As are ball gowns. The full-skirts will make your waist look even smaller than it already is, and distract from your top half.
Mermaid or trumpet style bridal gowns are also flattering as the flare at the bottom will provide a counterpoint to strong shoulders.
Sweetheart necklines will make the shoulders look more narrow. Similarly, so will and necklines that have a U or a V shape, as they draw the eye down, rather than across.
Don’ts for top heavy brides
You might feel the urge to cover up, but be warned – high necklines will only demand attention to your tophalf. As will any sort of detail or embellishment on the bottom.
No off the shoulder gowns please and NO puff sleeves. Mainly because they are a crime against fashion, above all.
Avoid clingy fabrics and anything which is dramatically low.
