When choosing what silhouette you want to wear, keep in mind what parts of your body you want to emphasize and show off.
An A-line is fitted through the waist and goes out with a defined waistline. A-lines tend to be the most flattering for all shapes. The cut of an A-line is good for larger hips as it flares out right above the hips and shows off the waist.
A ball gown has a very fitted waistline with a very large skirt. This style is the most traditional bridal silhouette. This style is flattering to most body shapes.
An empire is a high waistline, which is fitted right below the bust, and goes out into a thin skirt. This style is flattering for a girl with a larger bust and hips. It draws the eye to the smallest part of the waist and conceals the hips.
A mermaid is fitted all the way to the knee and flares out just below the knee. This style tends to look good on long and lean bodies. The shape of a mermaid can give the illusion of hips and more curves to the body.
A sheath is fitted and goes straight down the body. The sheath style is a relaxed look that tends to look best on a girl with a small bust and hips. This style shows off the shape of the body and its curves.
