How to choose a style to suit your body type

Whatever your body type is, check out our guide to creating a balanced look on your wedding day...

Short Neck

This can make even the skinniest of women look frumpy. You can’t change the way a short neck looks but you can choose the right clothes to minimise the effect.

do

• plunging V neck tops will create an illusion of length in neck area.
• use delicate or minimum jewellery as you don’t want to attract attention to the area.

don’t

• wearing a high neck will give the effect of slicing an already short neck into half.

Small Chest

Having this body type means that you can pretty much have a field day with daring styles as you can probably go bra-less without worrying about lack of support.

do

• try out daring styles like strapless, backless and off the shoulder.
• choose sleeveless tops and halter necks to focus attention on your neck and shoulders, rather than your chest.
• with Indian outfits choose one with interesting detail or embroidery across the front.
• Wear heavy jewellery such as a rani haar, which falls lower down on the chest.

don’t

• tight fitting corsets or low-cut plunging necklines will only emphasize what is not there.
