WESTERN BRIDAL WEAR

"What is the most popular wedding dress styles?", "What wedding dress is right for me?", "How to choose the right wedding dress", "How to choose the perfect wedding dress?" - These are some very common questions that many brides-to-be ask.


Princess Wedding Dress

A Wedding Dress Style Suitable for Most Brides



The princess wedding dress has fitted vertical seams running from shoulders down to a flair skirt with no seam across the waistline. The skirt looks like the shape of the letter "A" and is called an A-line skirt. Therefore, some people refer princess wedding dress as A-line wedding dress.

This style is suitable for most brides as A-line is the most "forgiving" dress shape. It can help to enhance small waist and hide broader hips. For brides with narrow hips, a hooped petticoat may be worn beneath the skirt to create a fuller look.

Ball Gown Wedding Dress

Solution for Brides with Wide Hips




type=textThe name "ball gown wedding dress" is self-explanatory. If you have absolutely no clue, think of what Cinderella wore to the ball. Some people called it the "fairy-tale" style.

The silhouette of ball gown wedding dress and princess wedding dress can be quite similar, especially when the princess wedding dress is boosted by the petticoat hoop. The main difference lies in way the seams run. Ball gown wedding dresses have horizontal seam at the waistline where the skirt starts to grow fuller.

Ball gown wedding dresses are usually paired with fitted bodice line. They look fabulous on brides with slim waistline and is perfect for hiding full hips - good disguise for pear body shape. Note that brides with large body frame should think twice about this style as it may make them look bigger. On the other hand, very petite brides may also find it overwhelming to carry too much extra fabric for their small frame.

Mermaid Wedding Dress

For Brides with Curves to Show Off



The mermaid wedding dress is also known as trumpet wedding dress dress. It is close-fitting until the knees where the skirt starts to flair out, creating the shape of a fishtail or a trumpet. This is a relatively modern design which is gaining popularity.

The narrow bodice design is great for showing off a body with nice, balanced curves. Mermaid wedding dresses are not only fantastic for tall, slim brides, they are also great for petite brides who wish to look taller. However, this wedding dress style is rather "unforgiving", brides who dislike their body shape should avoid it.
