The Perfect Bridal Dress
Sheath (Column)
As the name suggests, this design is quite narrow from shoulder to hem and fits the figure closely everywhere.
Empire
This shape is reminiscent of Jane Austen heroines, a high waist and gently flared skirt which is much narrower overall than the Princess or Ball Gown styles.
This style has a fitted bodice and hips with a
skirt which gently flows outwards to become full
at the hem.
Ball Gown
Princess (A-Line)
Imagine Cinderella’s dress when she goes to the ball; this is exactly the silhouette of a Ball Gown dress. The bodice is fitted but the dress begins to flare at the waist and continues, like the Princess style, to a full skirt at the hemline.
Mermaid
This type of dress is figure-hugging until just below the knees where it flares out in a similar way to a mermaid’s tail.
