The number one distinguishing trait of a ball gown is its very full (aka huge) skirt. The silhouette also has a fitted bodice and is cinched at the natural waist.

Best for Brides with boyish figures. The fullness of the dress will make you look curvier.

Avoid if Youre a petite bride. Youll get swallowed up by a dress this voluminous.

Mermaid

This shape is defined by a slim, tapered, curve-hugging skirt that follows the line of the hips and thighs and flares out below the knee.

Best for Brides with hourglass figures who want to show off their curves.

Avoid if You know you dont want something tight; this style is constricting.

Column

This formfitting style follows the bodys natural line and doesnt flare out. Its also referred to as a sheath.

Best for Petite women, since this slim shape adds length. This silhouette also looks great on brides with sleek figures.

Avoid if Youre pear-shaped (when youre small on top but more rounded on the bottom). This silhouette will make you look unbalanced

Short wedding dresses make a statement of their own. Whether it's an outdoor wedding or in a traditional church they are perfect for today's modern bride.
