| Ballgown - The classic cinderella dress with a fitted bodice. |
| Column - Straight lined from the waist downwards. |
| Mermaid - The skirt flared out below the knee. |
| Fishtail - Think, coloumn wiht a twist: an extra panel of fabric fans out at the back of the skirt. |
| Empire Line - A gown with the waistline pulled up right under the bust. |
| Sheath - The latest style, sexy silhouette with no waistline: the skirt falls straight to the floor. |
| A-Line - A gown with a skirt that flared out like the legs of an "A" with vertical seams running from shoulders to hem. |
| You are tall? (1.90 in bare feet) -You can wear almost anything. Avoid frilly little dresses. |
| You are short (1.4 in platform shoes) -Try A-line dress or a fitted sheath - The vertical lines will elongate your silhouette. A ballgown with a full skirt is a bit of a challenge: it can give the impression it's wearing you, rather then the other way around. (You get lost in the dress!) |
| You are thin as a rake! -Opt for a ballgown rather than a sheath. Play with layers but dont overdo it - you risk looking lost in the dress. |
| You are curvy?! -Dont try to hide your curves under a loose gown. Come to terms with your curves - they're sexy~ An A-line dress with a V-neck bodice is sure to look stunning. |
| Large bottom (behind)? -Minimise it in a gown with un undefining waistline and a flowing skirt, flared at the bottom. A mermaid shape would do the trick. Most fitted a-line gowns will hide lare hips/behinds! |
