For those of you who worry, 'I don't look good in glamorous wedding dresses.' The rules of dresses to become the world's most stylish bride by stopping the 'extra' and using personal design to unravel the look.
“Since it’s my wedding, I want to wear a glamorous, voluminous dress like a main character!”
Have you ever felt discouraged after trying one on, looking in the mirror and thinking, “I feel like the dress is wearing me…” or “It feels awkward, like I’m trying too hard…”?
There is absolutely no need to give up and think, “Glamorous dresses just don’t suit me.” It’s not that you are being overshadowed by the dress; it’s just that the direction for bringing out your charm is different from “over-the-top glamour.”
You might be a bride-to-be with a “Natural” personal design type.
In this article, we will deliver the rules of dress selection for Natural types, who look awkward the more they add, but who can shine more stylishly than anyone else by ditching “half-hearted additions” and embracing “sophisticated subtraction.”
1. Why “excessive decoration” doesn’t suit the Natural type
When it comes to typical wedding dresses, the standard is to decorate with “additive embellishments” like ruffles, ribbons, sparkling jewels, and layers of lace.
However, when a Natural type wears these, their inherent “effortless, natural beauty” and “sophisticated skeletal beauty” get buried under the excessive decorations. This is the cause of that awkward feeling as if the dress is walking on its own.
What the Natural type needs is not glamour that relies on decorations. It is an overwhelming “aesthetic of subtraction” that charms through the beauty of the silhouette and the quality of the material itself. The moment you stop trying to be half-heartedly cute and over-decorated, the true main-character aura sleeping within you will awaken.
2. Steal the spotlight without over-decorating! 3 sophisticated dress styles
① A mature, elegant style that charms with “drapes”
Rather than sweet volume like ruffles, dresses that feature “drapes” (folds and pleats) created by the flow of high-quality fabric are a specialty of the Natural type. The three-dimensional effect that flows beautifully from the chest to the skirt strips away excessive decoration while creating outstanding elegance and a mature feminine look. A stylish design with a slightly higher neckline also highlights your beautiful shoulder lines like nothing else.
② A “linear/mode” style with all waste stripped away
This is a mode-style dress that creates a three-dimensional effect solely through the beauty of the cutting and edgy tucks. Even if a design looks “too simple” at first glance, when a Natural type wears it, rather than looking plain, the bride’s own stylish aura and beauty are brought to the forefront.
③ If you want to add glamour, go for a “botanical pattern” style
If you feel that “too simple is a bit unsatisfying” or “I want more glamour,” try being creative with your choice of embroidery and patterns. Instead of sweet motifs like flowers or ribbons, choose a dress with embroidery of “botanical patterns” like leaves and plants, or geometric patterns. Furthermore, choosing a cowl neck with a bit of looseness at the chest or a dress with long sleeves creates the “mature relaxed look” typical of the Natural type, resulting in a very fashionable finish.
3. A checklist for when you feel 'something is off' while choosing a dress
If you feel 'something is not quite right' while trying on dresses, please check the following points to see if you are 'overdoing it'.
Are there too many frills or ribbons?
Cute elements clash with the dignified beauty of the Natural type.
Is the skirt too voluminous?
Rather than doll-like, high-volume princess lines, slender lines, A-lines, or mermaid lines that emphasize vertical lines are easier to pull off.
Are your hairstyle and makeup too elaborate?
Instead of stiffly set stray hairs or elaborate hair arrangements, nuanced hair that feels like it's catching the breeze and healthy, natural makeup that highlights your skin's luster will pair better with the dress.
Summary: Make your own 'natural beauty' your ally
Even if the 'classic' wedding dress styles don't feel right, there is absolutely no need to panic.
'You are beautiful just as you are, without needing to add anything.'
That is the exclusive privilege of the Natural type. Instead of adding ribbons or frills, try looking for a dress that wins on silhouette, one that lets your beautiful bone structure and atmosphere shine through as they are. You will surely have a moment where you are struck by your own reflection in the mirror.
