Before choosing the perfect dress for your body shape, it can be helpful to understand their types. Here is a glossary:

👰 Ball gown — this type of wedding gown will make you look like a true princess. It has a fitter bodice and a full, voluminous skirt.

👰 A-line — this dress is loved universally as it can compliment every body shape. Just like a ball gown, an A-line dress has a fitted bodice till the waistline and then flares out into a soft “A” shape.

👰 Mermaid — this silhouette is fitted from the chest area up, all the way down to the knee, then it flares out. It is perfect for emphasizing the waistline and hips.

👰 Trumpet — also known as “fit-and-flare” dress, this gown looks like something between an A-line and mermaid cut. It has a straight bodice till the hips and then flares out at mid-thigh.

👰 Sheath — it’s a light and seamless dress that fits snugly to the body and contours it all the way down. Shorter women will appear taller in it, while those who are taller can wear it to help their bodies look more defined.

👰 Column — this dress looks almost like a sheath dress but has more structure thanks to fabrics like taffeta, brocade, or corded lace.

👰 Tea-length — this gown combines both classic and modern styles. It features styles with below-the-knee but above-the-ankle skirts combined with various silhouettes and necklines.

👰 Empire waist — this dress has a raised waistline. The exact placement of the waistline can vary from just below the bustline to an emphasis above the natural waistline.
