This is our final style for this month's shape and style advice on the Enzoani and Blue by Enzoani collections. We have loved covering the styles out there for various shapes and sizes for our future brides to be! The last one which we have selected is for the bride who loves to show off her shape.


This last but not final beauty is Blue by Enzoani Ibarki, and is one of the many styles which suit the hourglass shape lady. This particular shape is one of the easiest to carry off all styles! The reason for this is because your body shape is proportional, meaning that your weight is evenly distributed. So you can relax about having to hide any areas and use the dress to highlight and enhance your figure.
However, it is best to be aware that due to the right balance of the body the selection of the dress shape might be easy, but you have to be careful when selecting the details on the dress. The simple details work best for the hourglass shape. Whereas, a style with a heavy pattern, beading or sparkle, can unbalance your shape and make you appear less proportioned.
This elegant wedding gown is a full length mermaid. The bodice is fitted which enhances the natural shape of your curves. It will complement the waistline area, whilst lifting the chest area for a sexy look. This dress sculpts the body from the neckline to the hips, and flares out beautifully at the skirt creating a romantic finish.
As seen on both of the pictures, the soft lace with a delicate tulle skirt works perfect! Sometimes less is more.
Sparkle belts or heavy lacing are usually used more for ladies who want to draw the eye to a particular feature or to hide it.
The dress is made up of corded/chantilly lace which are flat pieces of patterned fabric and are applied on to the wedding gown to add the delicate detail. The tulle skirt is made from semi-transparent fabric, which adds the lightness to the dress, and ensures comfort and manovability on your wedding day.
Also, featuring a sweet heart neckline which appears like the top of a heart finishes the look off perfect.
The extra simple touches of the delicate pearls over the zipper back closure add a nice feature to the back of the gown. Along, with the soft tulle skirt and train makes this romantic and fairy tale, whilst still looking modern.
A strapless or straped dress also work well for the hourglass figure and it is always nice to keep in mind as well that straps can be added some dresses that do not have them on already depending on the designer, or a seamstress can do this and the same lace is ordered additionally to match the dress, so you can put your own unique twist to your wedding dress.
This wedding gown is available in Ivory/Nude and Ivory/Ivory,
