Wedding Dress Patterns
Wedding Dress Patterns: Sew your own dress? Why not!
There is no better way to get the exact pattern and style of informal
wedding dress than to have one made especially for you!
Finding the right wedding dress patterns can help you turn an ordinary
dress into a magnificent one.
There's only one perfect dress patternout there for you, but you'll need
to choose the right wedding dress pattern before you can begin creating
it!
Sewing patterns for wedding dresses come in many different styles, so your
own unique personality will dictate which one works best for you.
Choose from the different styles and wedding dress patterns we have listed
below and have your dress tailor or wedding dress designer made exactly
the way you’ve always dreamed it would be!
Different Styles of Wedding Dresses: A dress for every figure!
First and foremost, every woman wants to flatter her figure! Whether you
are plus size or petite you can find the perfect bride dresses to
highlight your best features.
So consider the following basic dress designs and tailor yours to make the
perfect informal wedding dress for your special day:
A Line or Empire:
Full figures look best in “A Line” pattern or empire dresses with V-line
bodices. Styling details around the neckline draw the eye up. Long sleeves
tapering toward the wrist slenderize arms. Depending on your preferences,
you may want to avoid strapless or sleeveless gowns which can emphasize
fullness. Opt for dresses where the fabric drapes gracefully instead of
ones that are form fitting.
Plus size women may also want to consider empire waist lines as they tend
to minimize a thicker waist. If you want to minimize your hips, try
wedding dress pattern with a full controlled skirt without bows, flounces,
ruffles, or ties in the back. Fuller (not hoop!) skirts camouflage hips
and thighs and shoulder pads make waists look smaller.
Fuller busted women may want to choose a flattering off the shoulder or
v-neckline with minimal detailing. Remember to be classy! Now is not the
time to go overboard by showing too much cleavage!
Ball Gown or Princess wedding dress patterns:
Someone with a petite figure may want to choose a ball gown style of
dress. A princess or Cinderella type dress pattern elongates a short waist
and helps to lengthen the torso.
Women who have a smaller bust line can appear larger when the top of the
dress is accentuated with intricate details and has an on-the-shoulder
neckline. Petite figures can appear to have their height lengthened in
full skirts with minimal details.
Simple sleeves, modestly detailed shoulders, vertical pleating, and a-line
or princess silhouettes elongate the torso and add height.
Mermaid or Sheath wedding dress patterns:
These are the perfect wedding dresses to accentuate the woman who has all
the right curves in all the right places! For slim petites and plus size
ladies with hour glass figures -- the sheath or mermaid style is ideal.
Second Wedding Dress:
There are no rules for color or style – wear what you love!
First of all lets just dispel the myth. There are no rules that say what
type of second wedding dress pattern you have to wear. Therefore, let your
heart be your guide and choose a second wedding dress pattern that fits
your individual style and personality.
You can even wear white again if you want to – it’s entirely your
decision! The only real “don’t” for a second time bride is the traditional
blusher veil that covers the face. Consider a hair ornament or flowers
instead!
Some women purchase a second wedding dress to renew their vows in. What a
terrific idea! The styles and patterns of informal wedding dresses for
second time brides are endless!
Consider selecting a cocktail length dress pattern or beautiful pantsuit
that you may wear again. Again, the bottom line is be comfortable and
classy!
