Need Wedding Day inspiration? Have a look at these stunning gown silhouettes that will guarantee all eyes are on you on your big day.
The Princess Gown
Hands up if gliding around a ballroom (or a community hall to be quite honest) looking like Cinderella, is on your "things to do before I die" list! Great. All of us then. Pretty and full of volumous drama, the Princess cut is a classic that will never go out of style. Our fave thing about it? It was made for hiding all of our pre-wedding stress-eating "sins". Another favourite thing? The fact that people might totally mistake you for a real princess in this one. Don't say we didn't warn you.
Mermaid
This particular cut is perfect for the bride shaped like the figure 8. Keen to get eyes popping out of sockets? Strap yourself into this waist-cinching wonder and prepare to "ditch this joint" with your very eager groom, earlier than anyone ever anticipated. We love that the mermaid cut 1). Gives all blushing brides allowance to play around with all kinds of dress designs and 2). Allows for the use of a wider selection of dress materials.
A-line
Is this the perfect wedding dress silhouette? Might be! This flattering cut is the go-to for a lot of brides because of its very impressive superpower; lightly hugging all the right places (the bosom) and gently herding eyes away from bits you’d rather not show off. Because the A-line is suited for all shapes and sizes, you’re bound to spot it stylishly draped over plenty of brides this wedding season.
Sheath
The sheath (not to be confused with sheet) and mermaid cuts are definitely members of the same family. Not siblings, but maybe, like cousins? Suited especially for brides who are lean or petite, the sheath is not as figure-hugging as the mermaid, but works just as well if you want to show off your curves.
