Features a fitted bodice through the waist that gently flows out to the ground, resembling the outline of the letter "A". Ideal for most body types, particularly if trying to disguise a heavy bottom figure.

The classic "fairy tale" dress features a fitted bodice that flairs at the waist with a full skirt. Works best for most body types. Not ideal for petites as the skirt can be over whelming on a small frame.

A fit and flare gown is the easiest style to pull off, as the skirt sits at the highest point: just below the hip. This will give you that feminine, curvaceous silhouette without restricting your movement or highlighting any lumps and bumps you'd rather not show off.

Fits closely to the body throughout and flares out below the knee. Looks best on hourglass figures as it highlights curves, not ideal for pear or round shapes as it accentuates the midsection.

Keeps everything lean with a figure-hugging straight skirt that often tightens at the waist. Works best on slim and well-toned figures as it tends to cling to the body.

A trumpet silhouette is a perfect midway point between a fit and flare gown and a mermaid dress, as the skirt flares lower down, around mid-thigh to highlight more of your curves, but isn't as dramatic or restrictive as a mermaid.
