How A Simple Red Wedding Dress Can Make Wonders
Ruler-shaped women are naturally slim. Although quite rare, women with this body type have a waist, bust and hips with similar width, so defining the waist is particularly important in choosing a red wedding gown. Celebrities like Gwyneth Paltrow, Courtney Cox, Cameron Diaz and Keira Knightley are great examples of ruler-shaped bodies.
Dos: Look for dresses that could emphasize your upper half. Just like Knightley in the picture, make sure to pick out a wedding dress that cinches the waist, achieving an illusion of an hourglass shape. A-line dresses can work well with ruler-shaped bodies, but make sure to choose a dress that is loose on top and flares gracefully at the bottom.
To create an illusion of a smaller waist, look for waistline with a v-shape at the front. You could also choose corseted or structured bodices with full skirts to achieve this same effect. For tall ruler-shaped ladies, an empire line dress or bias cuts could work out well. When you want detailing, choose between above the waist and below the waist; don’t use both.
Don’ts: Keep away from high or halter necks as this would make your shoulders narrow looking and does not help in flattering the waist. Avoid straight cut dresses because these could make a ruler-shaped woman look boxy.
Best Wedding Dress Style: Empire, A-line, sheath or ball gown
