How A Simple Red Wedding Dress Can Make Wonders
Apple-shaped women have broad shoulders, full bust, wide upper backs, but with slim thighs and upper legs. Women falling in this body shape usually have a bust bigger than their hips and a flat bottom. If your figure is similar to those of Dolly Parton, Tyra Banks, Catherine Zeta Jones and Elizabeth Hurley, then you’re apple-shaped. Another celebrity with a less obvious apple-shaped body types is Drew Barrymore.
Elizabeth Hurley in this stunning red dress follows most of the dos and don’ts of wearing a dress for the apple-shaped.
Dos: Look for a dress that cinches at the smallest part of your waistline, which flares out making an A-shape. V-neck lines are flattering for apple-shaped women, as long as only enough cleavage is seen. A deep-V neckline keeps the eyes in vertically, rather than horizontally, making you look more slender. Go for constructed empire-waist or Princess-seam a-line silhouettes.
Since you have fuller breasts than other body shapes, wearing extremely low-cut dresses could keep elegance away and make your attire look a bit vulgar for a wedding. Some of the best red wedding dresses for the apple-shaped woman involve a bodice with elegant textures like lace detailing.
Don’ts: Keep away from trumpet-styled dresses, which tend to accentuate your widest area and flare out at the legs and knees (the slimmest parts of your body). Keep away from ball-gown silhouettes.
Best Wedding Dress Style: Tea length, A-line or Empire
