What wedding dress would suit my shape?

We know that choosing the right dress is so important to our brides to be. At CG Boutique we have many beautiful wedding gowns which have been handpicked by us personally. For us it is important to have a range of styles and sizes, as every lady out there has a different body shape and level of confidence with their body. Whatever dream dress you choose your beauty should shine from within when you are wearing it too. We know first hand from our brides to be, if they’ve never tried a wedding dress on before it can be both daunting and confusing to know the style that would suits them best, so that is what’s inspired us to write this weeks blog…


So what body type are you?

  • Triangle – This body shape is characterised by narrow shoulders, small breasts, a slim waist, and relatively wide hips. Hence, the wedding gown most suited in style tends to be Ballgown.

  • Rectangle – This body shape has the proportions of the shoulders, waist, and hips all equal and almost aligned. Hence the wedding gown most suited in style tends to be Sheath.

  • Inverted Triangle – This body shape is characterised by broad shoulders and / or bust that narrow down to the hips. The wedding gown most suited in style tends to be Mermaid.

  • Hourglass – Often known as the ‘curvier’ body shape, this body shape is characterized by wide shoulders, breasts and hips, and a slim waist. Hence, the wedding gown most suited in style tends to be A-line.

  • Round – This body shape usually means having a less waist definition with equal proposition of hips and shoulders. Hence the wedding gown most suited in style tends to be A-Line.
