For most brides, one of their main concerns when finding their perfect wedding dress is finding a silhouette that works well with their body shape. Naturally, you want a dress to make you look and feel confident on your big day, so it’s important to know which silhouettes do what for your body.
Ball Gown
Zartasha by Sottero and Midgley
The ball gown is beloved by brides for its gorgeous, statement-making silhouette and feminine grace. Defined by its bold, standout skirt, the ball gown places emphasis on your torso and arms. Since the skirt is completely full, creating a gorgeous, rounded bell shape, it brings attention to your upper body to balance the shape.
A-line

The A-line is universally flattering, and beloved by brides and designers alike. The simple, chic skirt creates a gentle A-shaped slope, which points upwards and in towards your waist, giving you the illusion of both appearing taller and slimmer. This shape is completely classic, working perfectly for traditional and edgy brides both.
Mermaid
Kitara by Sottero and Midgley
Love bold styles, but want something that shows off your curves more? The mermaid silhouette highlights your figure with its unique, hourglass-inspired shape. The skirt begins at the knee, creating the hourglass shape and placing the focus on your hips to make your curves look incredible.
Fit and Flare

For women who like the curve-loving look of the mermaid silhouette, but prefer a more relaxed look, the fit and flare is perfect. Rather than the knee, the skirt begins midway down the thigh, creating a slightly less exaggerated shape but still giving you the same stunning hourglass effect.
