Sweetheart Wedding Dresses for Different Body Types
Sweetheart neckline wedding dresses are incredibly versatile, with the overall effect depending on the shape of the bodice, the skirt and the details around the shoulders. There are plenty of ways to find a sweetheart wedding gown that complements your body shape and proportions.
Hourglass Figures
If you prefer to accentuate your natural curves, a fitted or fit-and-flare sweetheart gown is a beautiful choice.
Pear-Shaped Figures
A-line wedding gowns work especially well if you want to create balance between the upper and lower body. While a heart-shaped neckline already draws the eye upward, you can also choose a wedding gown with off-the-shoulder sleeves to bring a little more focus to the shoulders.
Rectangle Figures
A sweetheart neckline wedding gown with a corset-style bodice, structured cups or ruching helps create more definition through the waist and bust. A fuller skirt can also add shape and give the overall look a softer, more romantic feel.
Inverted Triangle Figures
If your shoulders are broader than your hips, consider an A-line or a fuller, ball-gown-style skirt to add volume to the lower half.
How to Choose Sweetheart Neckline Wedding Dresses
Here are the things to keep in mind when choosing your sweetheart dress.
- The shape of the neckline. Some sweetheart necklines have a gentle curve, while others dip lower at the centre for a more defined effect.
- The bodice structure. Pick a corset-style bodice if you need support. A softer construction, on the other hand, helps create a more relaxed look.
- The silhouette. A-line silhouettes feel romantic, fitted and fit-and-flare designs are good options if you aim for a figure-hugging look and fuller skirts bring more volume and drama.
- Sleeves. A heart-shaped neckline does not have to be strapless. Off-the-shoulder sleeves, cap sleeves, long sleeves or detachable options add more coverage while keeping the neckline as the main feature.
- Fabric. Fabric plays a major part in the overall feel of the sweetheart neckline wedding gown. Satin creates a clean look, while lace and appliqués bring more detail to the bodice. Speaking of the skirt, tulle adds soft volume and chiffon gives a lighter, more flowing effect.
