The Ultimate Wedding Planning & Guides
Ball Gown
The true “princess” dress. The ball gown has a fitted bodice and a full skirt. Ideal for most body types, but can be overwhelming on petites with very small frames.
A-Line
Slightly more flowy than a ball gown, A-lines have fitted bodices through the waist and cascade out towards the ground, resembling the outline of an uppercase "A." Ideal for all body types.
Mermaid
Sleek and sexy. Fitted on the body from the chest to the knee, then flares out close to the knee. Ideal for brides looking to show off their curves.
Theath
Literally "fit-and-flare:" fitted through the body and flairs out mid-thigh. This cut is between a modified a-line and a mermaid cut. Ideal for brides looking to accentuate a small waist. Think: hourglass figures and petites.
Empire
A narrow shape that flows straight down from the neckline to the hem. Ideal for lean frames, and athletic body types. Also great for hourglasses who are looking to flaunt their curves!
Here’s a quick and easy guide to breakdown the various wedding gown silhouettes, and which body types are ideal for each style.
Narrow down the overwhelming amount of dress options by deciding on your favourite neckline style first.
Sweet Heart
Mostly used in dresses without straps, it’s formed by two curves recalling a heart shape.
Straight Across
Typical in the strapless dresses, it’s a straight neckline above the breast.
Asymmetric
Also known as ‘cleavage diana’ or ‘shoulder’, presents the bodice with a single shoulder strap and a diagonal cut.
Illusion
