Flatter Your Figure
Popular wedding dress silhouettes include the Ballgown, A-Line, Sheath and Mermaid or Trumpet, fit and flare styles.
Ballgown
The Ballgown features a very full, shaped skirt of tulle, satin, or other bridal fabrics, and a fitted bodice. This style really flatters slim figures and those with wider hips. Short waisted figures can also benefit from this style by choosing a ballgown with an elongated bodice that opens into the full skirt.
A-Line
The A-line shape flatters most body types. Traditionally this style is close fitting through the bodice and flares into the A-line shape skirt at the waist. The A-line shape creates an elongated, smooth line on almost any figure. The skirt flatters in either a full or more narrow cut. Full figures have the added benefit of slimming their hips in this style. Choose a V-neck or halter style to flatter and support a larger bust.
Sheath
The Sheath style dress has a curve conscious silhouette that follows the lines of the body closely. This style works beautifully in structured satin fabrics or soft and slinky materials. The sheath dress is equally glamorous on slim and petite or tall and slender figures. Choose a bodice style with pleating, gathers, embroidery, or beading to create the illusion of a larger bust.
Trumpet/Mermaid
The Trumpet or Mermaid, fit and flare gown, has a sheath silhouette through the bodice and thigh, with a skirt that flares out below the knee. The Mermaid shape has a narrower skirt than the Trumpet shape. These styles are perfect for brides who want to show off the curves of their hourglass figure.
