Silhouettes to suit an apple-shaped figure

If you're blessed with an apple-shaped figure and are currently wondering about the best wedding dress silhouettes to suit you, Joanne Maloney from A Bridal Story (www.abridalstory.co.uk) is here to help.

"A-line or ballgowns work perfectly on an apple-shaped body as they bring balance to your hip area and draw attention to your waist giving it a cinched-in look.

"We'd also suggest looking at a neckline that will open up your chest and bust area, such as a sweetheart, scoop or V-neck. Again, this will bring overall balance to your silhouette and will smooth the bust area, while bringing focus to your waist. If you're larger on the bust, a dress with a good internal structure will be a must.

"No matter what your shape, your bridal stylist will have plenty of options for you to try that will highlight your best assets, give you a balanced shape and make you feel like a million dollars!"
