Do you know the difference between fit and flare and mermaid, or are wedding dress silhouettes a mystery to you? Before you begin the search for your perfect wedding gown, knowing the silhouettes is a great idea. Today we are guiding you through the most popular silhouettes to ensure you get the most from each of your bridal appointments.
A-Line Silhouette
One of the better known silhouettes, the A-line works on almost all body types. This flattering and feminine style gathers at the wait and flares out gently to a beautiful full skirt. A-line works beautifully on pears-shaped and curvy brides.
Ballgown Silhouette
Looking for a fairytale princess gown, then the ballgown is the one for you. With drama, volume and classic appeal, a ballgown usually has a fitted bodice, accented waistline and full skirt. It can work on most body types but very full ballgown dresses can overwhelm petite brides.
