Your wedding dress is one of the most important parts of your Trinidad wedding. Many of us have spent our whole lives dreaming about what we were going to wear when we walked down that aisle. However, getting the perfect gown isn’t always easy. Let’s take a look at how to find a great fitting, great looking, fun wedding dress for your Trinidad wedding.
It’s a common piece of advice to dress for your shape, but that doesn’t make it any less valid. Everyone needs to wear the gown that works for them. Unfortunately, just like many other clothing industries, the wedding industry has an ideal that it often sews to. There are some things you can do to get around this and get a dress that looks good on you.
Women with apple shapes usually gain their weight around the middle and have narrower hips. They may be frustrated by wedding gown shopping, as this is the segment of the population that gets ignored the most.
A-line gowns and empire cuts are popular choice for women with an apple shape, and longer lines are preferred. They help you avoid the pregnant look that can come from a short raised waist.
If you’re a Trini woman with an hourglass shape, other people may thing you’re lucky, until they try to do your shopping. Your pronounced waist means that many gowns are too tight in the hips or too loose in the waist, and similar problems happen in the bust. Hourglass shaped women should consider getting a gown that fits their largest parts and have it professionally taken in at the waist to get a perfect fit. Don’t be tempted to wear a sack!
Pear shaped women have larger hips and thighs, and often do well in full skirts that show off the best of their bottom halves without making them the center of attention. Use eye catching motifs toward the top of the gown, not the middle or bottom, such as embroidery or bead work. Deep necklines can be a flattering choice, but only if you’re comfortable in them.
If you have the opposite shape – a full bust with narrow hips, you might feel self conscious about your breasts. Don’t try wearing something loose and large to play them down, though – it’ll just look matronly or shapeless. Consider well fitted garments that are plain at the top and decorated in the skirt, instead.
Your Trinidad wedding location will have a big effect on the gown you pick, as well. If you’re going to be wearing delicate fabrics or long trains on the beach, you might want to think again. These are more suitable for formal wedding halls. Look for gowns suitable for the outdoors if you’re having a romantic beach or sea-side wedding on the North East coast of Trinidad or towards Chaguaramas.
Most of us don’t get to spend as much as we want to on the Trinidad wedding of our dreams, meaning that we need to learn to save on our perfect gowns. Used dresses are gaining in popularity, and if you’re a size six through ten, you may have good luck with bridal sample sales. Rental dresses mean you don’t have to worry about the dress after wearing. However, the best thing you can do to save money is be creative. You don’t have to stick to bridal shops to get a perfect dress, after all.
Remember that it’s your big day so choose the dress that not only looks great on your body but one that you also love. It will make you feel more like a princess at your Trinidad wedding.
