Wedding Dress Silhouettes Explained

A lot of brides come in to our wedding dress store in South Florida knowing exactly what they want, but they are not always quite sure how to describe it.  Wedding gowns come in many different shapes.  A little bit of knowledge going in to your shopping experience can help you to relay what you are seeing in your mind as the perfect dress.  Here are a few of the wedding dress silhouettes that you will find at Angelus Bridal & Formals.  

Ball Gown 

This is typically thought of as a princess dress, straight out of a fairy tale.  It is perfect for the bride that is looking to exude romance with a bit of dramatic flair.  It has a fitted bodice that flairs at the waist with a full skirt.  

A-Line

A-lines are full like a ball gown, but a little bit easier to move around a room in.  It features a fitted bodice down to the the waist, then gradually flows out all the way to the ground. The silhouette resembles the letter A, lending to its name.     

Trumpet

Fitted down to about mid-thigh, then flaring out, describes this particular silhouette.  It offers a look that is fitted to show off your beautiful curves while still allowing plenty of flow in the skirt.    

Mermaid

A Mermaid silhouette is also fitted down the body like the Trumpet style above, but this gown does not flair out until the knee.  This form-fitting, contoured dress is meant for a very confident bride that likes to show off her shape.    

Sheath

Sheath dresses flow straight down from the neckline to the hem. This shape can have a more casual feel than the rest, or lend to a seductive aura.  It all depends on the accessories you pair it with and the manner in which you carry yourself.
