Whether you’re shopping locally in Brentwood, Chelmsford, Shenfield, or across Essex, our expert stylists are here to guide you.

Hourglass Shape

If your bust and hips are balanced with a defined waist, you have a classic hourglass figure.

Best wedding dress styles:

  • Mermaid or fishtail gowns
  • Fit-and-flare silhouettes
  • Structured bodices

These styles highlight your curves and define your waist beautifully.

Pear Shape

If your hips are wider than your bust, you may have a pear-shaped figure.

Best wedding dress styles:

  • A-line wedding dresses
  • Ball gowns
  • Detailed or embellished bodices

These styles draw attention upwards and create a balanced silhouette—perfect for many brides visiting our Brentwood boutique.

Apple Shape

If you carry weight around your midsection with slimmer legs, you may have an apple shape.

Best wedding dress styles:

  • Empire waist gowns
  • Soft A-line dresses
  • Flowing fabrics like chiffon

These styles elongate your figure and create a flattering, elegant look.

Petite Brides

If you’re petite, the goal is to elongate your silhouette without overwhelming your frame.

Best wedding dress styles:

  • Dresses with long trains

These styles create a striking and elegant bridal look.

Athletic or Straight Shape

If your shoulders, waist, and hips are similar in width, you may have a straighter figure.
