1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,280
All right, so we're diving into wedding dresses today.

2
00:00:02,280 --> 00:00:04,320
You guys sent in some amazing sources

3
00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:07,760
on finding the perfect gown for apple shapes,

4
00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:09,760
and congrats on getting married.

5
00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:11,280
Oh, such an exciting time.

6
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:13,200
Yeah, and I love that you're really thinking

7
00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:14,960
about how to flatter your shape.

8
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:16,520
You know, when we're talking apple shapes,

9
00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:19,240
we're often talking a fuller bust,

10
00:00:19,240 --> 00:00:20,840
maybe a less defined waist,

11
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:22,920
and then of course those amazing slender legs.

12
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:24,840
It's all about working with those features.

13
00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:25,680
Totally.

14
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:27,360
And speaking of working with your shape,

15
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:29,200
one of the things that really jumped out at me

16
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:32,600
from these sources was the importance of a good bra.

17
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:35,480
Like even before you start hitting the bridal salons.

18
00:00:35,480 --> 00:00:37,560
Absolutely, it's like, you know, you're building a house.

19
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:39,120
You gotta have that solid foundation.

20
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:40,320
Yeah. Right.

21
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:42,320
And for apple shapes specifically,

22
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:43,960
something that lifts and separates,

23
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:45,160
you know, like a full coverage

24
00:00:45,160 --> 00:00:47,240
or maybe a balcony-it style bra,

25
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:48,840
that's really gonna do wonders

26
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:51,480
because it starts creating that definition at the waistline

27
00:00:51,480 --> 00:00:53,760
even before you, you know, slip on the dress.

28
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:55,840
Okay, so that's a game changer.

29
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,040
I am definitely gonna keep that in mind.

30
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:01,560
Now I'm curious about silhouettes because I don't know,

31
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:03,840
I always thought certain styles were like

32
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:06,320
off limits for apple shapes,

33
00:01:06,320 --> 00:01:09,960
but these sources are saying not so fast.

34
00:01:09,960 --> 00:01:11,960
Yeah, there are definitely, you know,

35
00:01:11,960 --> 00:01:14,800
certain styles that are more universally flattering,

36
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:16,720
but it's not about hard and fast rules.

37
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:19,160
Let's start with like some of the classics,

38
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:21,000
you know, A-line, ball gowns.

39
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:22,600
I can see why those are always recommended.

40
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:24,480
They've got that princessy vibe,

41
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:26,880
but are they actually the most flattering?

42
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:28,520
So if you think about it this way,

43
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:30,080
imagine like an A-line dress,

44
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:32,880
and it's cinching in right at your natural waist,

45
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:34,800
creating that lovely hourglass silhouette,

46
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:37,360
and then that full skirt is just flowing out,

47
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:38,880
adding volume below the waist,

48
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:41,280
and it just beautifully balances your, you know,

49
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:43,000
your fuller bust.

50
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,040
Plus, you know, you can really play up those gorgeous legs

51
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:45,880
with a slit.

52
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:47,400
Okay, that makes total sense.

53
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:49,040
Now what about sheath or column dresses?

54
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,760
Those seem like they would just like emphasize everything,

55
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:52,600
you know?

56
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:54,520
Mm-hmm, they could be a little bit tricky,

57
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:57,120
but if you love that, you know, that sleek

58
00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:00,440
and sophisticated look, it's definitely not impossible.

59
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:05,240
The key is to find a sheath dress that incorporates details

60
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:06,800
that create that visual balance.

61
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:08,840
So imagine like a wide neckline,

62
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:10,200
something that's gonna open up the chest,

63
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:12,040
draw the eye upwards,

64
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:15,080
or maybe a bodice with like some vertical embellishments

65
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:16,360
to elongate the torso.

66
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:17,920
So it's all about the details,

67
00:02:17,920 --> 00:02:19,680
even with a simple silhouette.

68
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,720
Now fit and flare, sometimes called trumpet style,

69
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:24,680
that seems like it would be a pretty safe bet, right?

70
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:25,800
Yes, yeah.

71
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:27,200
That structured bodice is great

72
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:29,000
for creating a defined waistline,

73
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:32,160
and that gentle flare from, you know, the hips downwards

74
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:34,720
just helps balance out, you know, a fuller bust.

75
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:37,360
It's a really beautiful and romantic style for apple shapes.

76
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:38,800
And, you know, reading through these sources,

77
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:40,120
there's a lot of talk about necklines.

78
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:41,680
It sounds like there are some clear winners

79
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:43,960
and some surprising losers for apple shapes.

80
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:47,440
Oh yeah, necklines, they can make such a huge difference.

81
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:50,240
Let's start with like the superstar, the V-neck.

82
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:51,400
It's incredibly flattering

83
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:54,000
because it elongates the torso,

84
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:55,480
and it draws the eye upwards,

85
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:58,800
which creates, you know, that more balanced look overall.

86
00:02:58,800 --> 00:02:59,880
See, I always thought V-necks

87
00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:02,480
were just for like showing cleavage,

88
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:04,520
but it's really about the proportion they create.

89
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,080
Exactly, and similar to the V-neck, you know,

90
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:10,440
scoop necks, square necklines, sweetheart necklines,

91
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:13,280
they all share that open elongating effect.

92
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:16,320
But there's one neckline that, you know,

93
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:18,520
is often recommended for other body types,

94
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:20,720
but it can be tricky for apple shapes.

95
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:21,600
The halter.

96
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:22,440
Ooh, interesting.

97
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:24,760
I never would have thought of that as like a problem area.

98
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:26,400
So if you think about it this way,

99
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:28,240
a halter neckline tends to emphasize

100
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:30,160
the width of the shoulders,

101
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:31,640
which for an apple shape,

102
00:03:31,640 --> 00:03:33,600
can throw off that visual balance

103
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:35,160
that we're trying to achieve.

104
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:38,400
It might end up making the waist seem wider in comparison.

105
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:40,360
Okay, yeah, that makes total sense

106
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:41,440
when you put it like that.

107
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:44,440
It all comes back to creating that harmony and proportion.

108
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:46,680
What about sleeves?

109
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:48,280
I mean, there are so many options,

110
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:50,280
from strapless to long sleeves,

111
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:52,920
and I'm getting a little overwhelmed just thinking about it.

112
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:55,400
Okay, okay, don't worry, we'll break it down.

113
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:57,040
So let's start with strapless.

114
00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:00,160
You know, it can be a gorgeous option for apple shapes,

115
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,200
especially if you love to show off your shoulders

116
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:03,040
and your arms.

117
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,720
Okay, but I'm imagining like everything

118
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:07,360
just kind of spilling out if there's nothing

119
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:08,600
to like hold it in.

120
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:09,760
Yeah, I hear you.

121
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:11,880
That's where the right undergarments come in again,

122
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:14,760
like supportive strapless bra,

123
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:17,280
or even, you know, a well-structured bodice

124
00:04:17,280 --> 00:04:18,360
can make all the difference.

125
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:19,760
And remember, you can always add,

126
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,680
like those delicate spaghetti straps,

127
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:24,800
or play with off-the-shoulder details,

128
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,080
just for a little extra support and visual interest.

129
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:28,760
Right, sometimes those little details

130
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:30,120
can make a huge difference.

131
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:31,720
What about cap sleeves?

132
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:33,840
Or those like wider illusion straps,

133
00:04:33,840 --> 00:04:35,480
those seem to be everywhere these days.

134
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:37,800
Yeah, they're having a moment for a reason.

135
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,720
So think about how they add a bit of volume

136
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:42,720
to the shoulder area,

137
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:44,800
which can help to balance out the hips

138
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:46,760
and draw the eye upwards.

139
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:49,400
It's just a subtle way to create that hourglass effect

140
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:50,440
we were talking about.

141
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:51,720
So even with sleeves,

142
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:53,600
we're still thinking about that overall balance.

143
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:56,520
Now long sleeves, can those ever work on an apple shape?

144
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:59,640
I feel like they can easily make you look like boxy.

145
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:00,480
Yeah, you're right.

146
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:03,440
You want to avoid anything, you know, too heavy or bulky.

147
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:06,080
But imagine this, a long sleeve gown

148
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:08,880
made of the delicate illusion fabric

149
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:12,280
with like intricate beading or lace appliqués.

150
00:05:12,280 --> 00:05:15,240
It creates this sense of elegance and drama

151
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:17,040
without, you know, overwhelming your frame.

152
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,000
Ooh, I'm getting chills just picturing that.

153
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:20,640
Okay, let's talk accessories.

154
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:22,280
Because that's where things can get really fun.

155
00:05:22,280 --> 00:05:23,400
Veils first.

156
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:26,400
Any tips on choosing the right length for an apple shape?

157
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:27,960
Remember how we talked about the importance of,

158
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:29,760
you know, defining the waistline?

159
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:32,240
Well, a shorter veil, like let's say elbow length,

160
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:34,520
it can actually cut you off at the waist

161
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:36,480
and, you know, undo all that beautiful work

162
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:37,440
we've done with the dress.

163
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:39,000
Oh wow, I never thought about it that way.

164
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:40,240
So longer is better.

165
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:43,320
Exactly, think fingertip length or even longer.

166
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:46,000
It just creates that lovely elongated line

167
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,560
and lets the dress really shine.

168
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:50,440
Okay, noted, no belts.

169
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:52,560
I feel like those can be tricky

170
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,120
because they draw attention to the waist,

171
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:57,760
which can be kind of a sensitive area for apple shapes.

172
00:05:57,760 --> 00:05:58,600
Yeah, you're right.

173
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:01,080
You don't want anything too thick or bulky,

174
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:04,000
but a narrow belt, maybe in like a satin

175
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:05,400
or embellished fabric,

176
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:08,520
it can subtly highlight that natural waistline

177
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:11,640
without, you know, adding any unnecessary volume.

178
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:14,000
So it's all about finding that like sweet spot

179
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:17,240
and it makes me think jewelry plays into this too, right?

180
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:19,680
Like how do we choose necklaces and earrings

181
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,080
that compliment the dress and the body type?

182
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,040
You know, it's all about harmony.

183
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:25,800
So if you're rocking a lower neckline,

184
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:27,800
like a V-neck or a sweetheart,

185
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:30,000
a drop necklace can be stunning.

186
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:31,800
It draws the eye downwards,

187
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:33,880
creating that elongated line we love.

188
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:35,920
Ooh, like a sparkly pendant or something.

189
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,040
Exactly, now if you've gone for a higher neckline,

190
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:40,440
like maybe a bateau or a jewel neck,

191
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:42,200
a statement choker can be super chic.

192
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:44,800
It draws attention upwards and adds a touch of drama.

193
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:47,360
Okay, last but not least, shoes.

194
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:49,040
We can't forget about the shoes.

195
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:51,680
And you know, apple shapes often have amazing legs,

196
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,320
so this is a chance to really show them off, right?

197
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:56,280
Absolutely, but comfort is key,

198
00:06:56,280 --> 00:06:57,320
especially your wedding day.

199
00:06:57,320 --> 00:06:59,320
You'll be on your feet for hours.

200
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:01,520
So choose something you can actually dance in.

201
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:04,800
Okay, so no stilettos that I can barely walk in,

202
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:06,120
even on a good day.

203
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:07,560
What about wedges?

204
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:09,640
Wedges are a fantastic option.

205
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:10,760
They give you that extra height,

206
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:12,120
that leg lengthening effect.

207
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:12,960
Yeah.

208
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:15,000
They're about, you know, sacrificing comfort.

209
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:16,640
And they look especially amazing

210
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:18,560
with a dress that has a slit.

211
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:20,200
Talk about showing off those legs.

212
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:21,160
I'm loving this.

213
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:23,000
So just to recap, for apple shapes,

214
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:26,080
it's all about creating that balanced hourglass-esque

215
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:28,480
silhouette, even if it's not your natural shape.

216
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:30,320
You got it, and it's not about hiding anything.

217
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:33,240
It's about, you know, celebrating your unique beauty

218
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:35,160
and finding a dress that makes you feel

219
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:37,120
absolutely radiant and confident.

220
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:38,560
It's like you're reading my mind.

221
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:40,560
So if someone's listening to this,

222
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:42,760
and they're, you know, maybe feeling a little overwhelmed

223
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:45,080
by all the options, what's the one piece of advice

224
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:46,160
you would give them?

225
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:49,680
Hmm, I would say, you know, go into it with an open mind

226
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:51,800
and an open heart.

227
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:54,040
Don't be afraid to try on different styles.

228
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:55,760
Step outside of your comfort zone.

229
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:59,120
And most importantly, trust your instincts.

230
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:01,560
The right dress will find you.

231
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:02,480
I love that.

232
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaking of experimenting and trying new things,

233
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:06,360
there's actually a growing movement

234
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:08,120
that's like challenging this whole idea

235
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:10,000
of dressing for your body type.

236
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:14,920
Yeah, it's a different way of thinking about things.

237
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:17,200
The idea is that, you know, maybe these traditional

238
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:19,960
body shape categories can be kind of limiting.

239
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:22,640
And that, ultimately, you know, the most important thing

240
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:25,040
is to wear what makes you feel good,

241
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:26,520
regardless of what any rules say.

242
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:29,480
Right, yeah, so it's more about finding a dress

243
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:31,960
that speaks to your personal style

244
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:33,680
and makes you feel confident and beautiful

245
00:08:33,680 --> 00:08:35,880
rather than trying to, you know, fit into a certain mold.

246
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:37,800
Exactly, you know, it's about celebrating,

247
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:41,360
like your individuality and embracing what makes you unique.

248
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:43,200
And, you know, sometimes the dress you end up

249
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:46,120
falling in love with is the one you least expected.

250
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:47,520
Oh, that's such a great point.

251
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:49,680
So if you could leave our listener with, like,

252
00:08:49,680 --> 00:08:53,800
one final thought as they, you know,

253
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:56,760
embark on their wedding dress journey, what would it be?

254
00:08:56,760 --> 00:09:01,760
Hmm, I would say, you know, go into it with an open mind

255
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:04,120
and an open heart.

256
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:06,800
Don't be afraid to try on different styles.

257
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:08,360
Step outside of your comfort zone.

258
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:11,080

259
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:12,880

That's beautiful, and it really applies to, you know,

261
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:17,000
so much more than just wedding dresses, doesn't it?

262
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:20,120
Absolutely, you know, it's about embracing who you are

263
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:21,880

I feel like I've learned so much,

267
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:28,680
not just about, you know, apple shapes and wedding dresses,

268
00:09:28,680 --> 00:09:30,000
but also about, like, the importance

269
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:31,560
of self-love and confidence.

270
00:09:31,560 --> 00:09:32,680
Oh, so glad to hear that.

271
00:09:32,680 --> 00:09:34,480
And remember, no matter what shape you are,

272
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:36,520
you are beautiful just the way you are.

Really, that's so interesting.

278
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:49,240
I feel like, you know, we've always been told to, like,

279
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:50,320
dress for your body type.

280
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:53,680
So it's kind of mind-blowing to think that, like,

281
00:09:53,680 --> 00:09:55,760
maybe it doesn't matter as much as we thought.

282
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:57,200
Right, it's definitely a different way

283
00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:59,480

Yeah.

292
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:19,800
And makes you feel confident and beautiful,

293
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:21,920
rather than, like, trying to fit into a certain mold.

294
