You’ve said “yes” to forever - now it’s time to say “yes” to the dress! But with so many stunning gowns out there, where do you even begin? One of the best ways to narrow down your options is to consider your body type. While there are no hard and fast rules (and we truly believe the perfect dress is the one that makes you feel amazing), understanding silhouettes and how they complement different figures can help you feel more confident in your decision.

If You Have an Hourglass Figure
Your naturally balanced proportions means you can rock a wide variety of silhouettes! If you’re really looking to show off those curves, look for dresses that accentuate your waist and highlight your shape.

Try this:
Morilee Style 2706 is a knockout for hourglass brides. With a plunging v-neckline, a sheer open back, and embroidered lace that flows beautifully down the fit and flare silhouette, this dress hugs in all the right places. It’s sexy, romantic, and unapologetically elegant.
If You’re Apple-Shaped
With a fuller midsection and slimmer legs, apple-shaped brides radiate confidence and femininity. The trick is choosing a gown that defines the waist and allows your natural beauty to shine from head to toe!

Consider:
An A-line silhouette like Morilee 2715 is perfect for you! Its structured bodice and draped fabric draw the eye up, while the full skirt creates balance. Bonus: the soft organza and classic button details add just the right touch of romance!
If You’re Tall
Got legs for days? Highlight that runway-ready height with something bold and regal. Tall brides look fantastic in gowns that embrace volume or feature dramatic design details.
