The first step to finding the wedding dress you have always dreamed of is selecting your favorite dress shape. The dress shape, or silhouette, determines the overall feel and look of your gown, and each one has something special to offer. Here is a guide to each of the wedding dress silhouettes we carry at Mckenzie Jade’s:

Ball Gown

Style #9908 by Allure

The ball gown silhouette is characterized by its bold, full skirt. This shape creates a dramatic aisle presence, and is the perfect fit for royalty and everyday women alike!

A-Line

Style #11201 from Adore by Justin Alexander

The A-line dress shape features a fitted bodice with a skirt that gently flares out at your waist in a subtle A-shaped slant, which creates a slimming effect and gives this ultra-flattering silhouette its name. 

Mermaid

Style #Simone Lynette by Sottero and Midgley

The mermaid silhouette is fitted from your bust through your legs before flaring out dramatically at your knees. This shape closely hugs each of your curves and highlights an hourglass figure. 

Fit and Flare

Style #BL376 from Beloved by Casablanca

The fit and flare silhouette features a fitted upper body and flared skirt combination that’s similar to the mermaid silhouette. The key difference here is that the fit and flare’s skirt starts at the mid-thigh and is more relaxed than the mermaid’s, offering a curve-hugging style with added mobility.
