If you have your eye on a mermaid wedding dress you probably are wondering... "will this be the best style for my figure?" Even though you may be attracted to this style, it may not do your figure justice. The mermaid style wedding gown is a silhouette that is fitted through the bust, waist and hips and then flares out around the knee. This dress style emphasizes the body shape.
The best body shape for this dress is the balanced body shape. This is the shape with “no exaggerated curves.” Your bust, waist and hips are in proportion, with about a 10 inch spread between measurements. But there is another figure type that will work well in this style.
If the hourglass figure type is the body shape you have and you want to show off your curves... the best way to do it is with a mermaid style wedding gown. You have a noticeably small waistline when compared to your bust and hips. Belt the waist with this style to further emphasize your small waistline.
