The A line dress.A gown with a panel or seam(s) running up the front. The unbroken lines give you height. Floor length Empire waistsare one of your best options. The vertical line gives an illusion of height. It is not recommended if you have a beautiful hour glass figures, where you should be accentuating those curves.V or U-neck?They give the impression of a longer neck. This is unless you are not bony at your chest area. Stay away from a revealing or V-U neck which might cheapen the look.Mermaid cut.If you're slim and petite consider this style. It's fitted like an evening gown up top and has all the bounce and swirl of a ball gown below. Not recommended if you have a tummy or imperfect posture but it can be minimized with a girdle. A-line."Think of it as your very own scaled down version of a ball gown." - Bride Chic Columnar SilhouettesSheath and evening gown silhouettes, long and columnar will flatter your figure. For a slim lookFocus on "length" over "volume" in your skirt part of your wedding dress. Long and Straight SleevesChoose sleeves that are long and straight, instead of puffy and big shoulder pads. (Think Princess Diana's gown which looks dated because of puffy sleeves compared to Princess Grace of Monaco) What about prints, lace, motifs, beads and sequins?Prints, lace, any motifs, beaded/sequined patterns should be scaled down and worn on the upper portions of the body. Busy designs below the waist (even small ones) draw all eyes downward. Soft and Sheer Fabrics for EleganceUse soft and sheer fabrics like crepe and chiffon that drape to the body, to create a delicate elegance. PASS UP
Of course, if you love it, go for it. Otherwise, this is for those who are very tall or if you are in a room full of other women in ballgowns. Avoid belts, sashes and cummberbundsBelts, sashes and cummerbunds interrupt the vertical lines you want to create - definitely! If you do wear a sash or belt go thin and as close to the shade of your gown as you can get. This is of course, unless you have plenty of height to spare.
