Finding a Dress-Triangle Body Shape

Finding the perfect wedding dress can be a bit overwhelming if you haven't been planning your wedding since you were a kid. I  was one of those brides. Once I finally got engaged, I knew what I wanted my dress to look like, but then as it got closer to me trying dresses on, I started to question what style of dress might look good on my body type. That's when I started to think about the actual shape of my potential wedding dress....and that's how I found the perfect style for me. Now, it's my turn to help you find yours. :-)

This post is just for those with a triangle body type. It is part of a 5 part series showcasing the different body types and how to find a wedding dress that complements your body perfectly. Go with the one closest to your body shape and hopefully you'll have luck. :-)

There are 5 basic body types. Apple-more of a round shape; Pear-more of a rounded bottom and narrower top; Triangle/Wedge-more of a wider top, and a narrower bottom; Rectangle-more of a boxy shape, more athletic build (labeled "ruler" in the picture); and Hourglass-a wider top and matching bottom coming in near the midsection to a narrower point.

When you are a triangle body type, you have a broad chest and wider shoulders, and they appear larger in proportion to your narrow waist and hips.You look best when accentuating your lower body, while softening your upper body/shoulders.
