SILHOUETTES
A-line: Slim on top, fitted through waist, and softly flares away from body.
Ball gown: Boned bodice, full skirt supported by crinolines, petticoats, etc.
Column: Quite similar to sheath; it is a straight-lined skirt with no flare or fullness at the hem.
Empire: A high-waisted style that is nipped in just below the bustline. Good for small-busted women or curvy figures.
Mermaid: This shape tightly hugs the torso, then flares out from the knee or just below it. Very similar to the trumpet.
Sheath: A close-to-the-body shape that outlines every curve; very similar to the column but with less structure at times.
Trumpet: A fitted gown that flares out at the knee. It is great for brides who want to show off some curves. Similar to the mermaid silhouette.
