The A-Line dress is a classic. The most versatile and flattering of all the wedding dress styles, it features a shape that is fitted around the bodice and flows out to the ground, resembling the outline of an uppercase A. The dress flows fluidly from the bust to the hem with an unbroken line. For the pear shaped figures it hugs the natural curves of your upper body, thus accentuating the top half of the body while camouflaging the lower half. Skirts can range from slim A-Lines to full A-Lines, but the key is that they begin to flare right below your natural waist, hiding a heavier bottom. The A-Line/Princess consistently flatters most full figured brides because they don't cling. This style can also create the illusion of height on a shorter body, by elongating the torso thanks to no waist seam. This is the most popular wedding dress style today. |
