Finding your wedding gown is an incredibly exciting time, but can sometimes be confusing. Should you go with a trumpet or a mermaid? What makes those styles different?
Below is a guide to help you answer those questions and more. Enjoy narrowing in on your choice of silhouette and saying yes to the dress!
Ballgown: A ballgown silhouette features a fitted bodice that flares at the waist into a full skirt.
A-line: An a-line silhouette also has a fitted bodice, but rather than flaring at the waist, it flows to the ground. It loosely resembles an upper case "A" with an unbroken line.
Modified A-line or Fit & Flare: This style features a silhouette that is fitted through the bodice and hips, and gradually flares to the hem. The lower half of the dress resembles an upper case "A."
Trumpet: A trumpet gown is fitted through the body and flares at the mid-thigh.
Mermaid: A mermaid gown is fitted through the body and flares at the knees.
Sheath or Column: A sheath, sometimes called column, gown is narrow in shape, flowing from the neckline to the hem.
