DRESSMAKERS

BALL GOWN

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, to a full skirt at
the hemline.

SHEATH
As the name suggests, this design is quite
narrow from shoulder to hem and fits the
figure quite closely everywhere.

MERMAID

This is a less common dress style; the dress
is quite figure hugging until reaching the
legs where it fans out like a mermaid’s tail.

EMPIRE
This shape is reminiscent of Jane Austin
heroines, a high waist and gently flared
skirt which is much narrower overall than
the Princess or Ball Gown.

PRINCESS
This style has a fitted bodice and hips
with a skirt which gently flows outwards to
become full at the hem.
