A mermaid wedding dress differs from other models by its tight-fitting silhouette and a neat train that extends from the hips or knees. It was in such outfits that ladies from high society danced at balls, and today mermaid wedding dresses are one of the hottest trends among brides around the world.
Types of models
A wedding dress with a mermaid silhouette has many variations. Departing from the classic canons, designers change the hems and trains of the dresses, making them more fashionable and expressive. The wedding dress of the year deserves special attention – a model with a low waist and a skirt flared from the knee. This is the closest style to the classic style, which emphasizes the waistline and neckline well. Execution options:
- outfits with fluffy skirts;
- sheath dresses with a multi-layered train at the hem;
- models with a straight or curly neckline;
- skirts with horizontal or vertical flounces;
- dresses with an open back and neckline.
An elegant fishtail wedding dress, the price of which depends on the materials used for its sewing, can be made of satin, taffeta or brocade, tulle, chiffon and draped satin. Often, such a dress is additionally decorated with embroidery, rhinestones or beads, lace and guipure inserts.
Who is suitable for a mermaid silhouette wedding dress
Mermaid dresses look best on tall girls. Thanks to the cut, this outfit hides all the problem areas of the figure well, focusing on the silhouette, hip line and chest. Tips for choosing:
- a dress with a diagonal drape of the skirt will look good on a figure with heavy hips;
- wide shoulders will be hidden by a model with narrow sleeves and a fluffy skirt from the middle of the thigh;
- small breasts will be made more voluminous by the most voluminous drapery on the bodice;
- brides of small stature can buy a wedding dress fish on the straps or with open shoulders;
- a model with crossed straps on the back will hide the stooped figure;
- a skirt that widens from the middle of the hip will visually make the waist appear smaller;
- a lush chest will emphasize a deep neckline;
- if the bust size is very large, it is better to refuse straps and open shoulders.
If you have an hourglass figure, the mermaid dress will fit you perfectly. But women with apple or pear silhouettes shouldn’t give up on their dreams either. Choose models with accented decor on the waist. It can be a bright belt or rhinestone trim. Such decor will attract attention and make the figure more proportional.
