Choosing the Right Bridal Gown for
YOU!
As a bride, you want your dress to represent you; your sense
of style, taste and tradition. Before you get lost in the blizzard of bridal
fashion terms for sleeves, necklines, and trains, consider the basic outline of
the dress. The silhouette for bridal gowns fall into five broad categories: (1)
Ball Gown, (2) Empire, (3) Princess or A Line, (4) Sheath, and (5) Mermaid, –
and each of these shapes has strong advantages and disadvantages, depending on
your particular figure.
Ball Gown ~ The ball gown silhouette is the most romantic of all bridal
silhouettes. It is typified by a fitted bodice and a small waistline (natural
or dropped) that leads into a very full skirt. It’s most flattering to women
who are average height with hourglass or full figures. The skirt of this gown
will overwhelm a petite bride.
Empire ~ The empire gown has a high waistline (right under the bust)
which falls to a slimmer skirt width. Traditionally flatters the small breasted
and thick-waisted women. The raised waist creates a long line, ideal for petite
brides.
Princess / A Line ~ The style’s name comes from the triangle (or A shape) it has
vertical seams from the shoulder to the hem, the result is a “fit and flare”
effect without a define waist. This gown is suitable for a variety of fabrics
and flatters most body shapes including petites and full figures.
Sheath ~ The slim skirt is a key attribute of a sheath silhouette.
This gown will show off your curves and depending on the weight or drape of the
fabric the effect of the dress will differ. It’s a great look for tall,
slim-hipped or petite, slender brides.
Mermaid ~ A variation of a sheath is the mermaid style gown. This gown
is a body-hugging silhouette like the sheath, but the skirt flares out at the
knee or just below it. Flatters the tall and hourglass figures, not recommended
for the pear shape brides.
I find a good way to simplify your shopping is to first
decide which styles are most flattering to you, and then start with trying on
those dresses. Engage yourself in the most exciting purchase of your life and
your perfect dress will be meticulously chosen.

ReplyDeleteGood information about shopping for the "Dress" never gets old. Interestingly enough, brides rarely know what looks good on them. They go in with one idea of a dress and are surprised when they like something totally different.
