Finding Your Perfect Wedding Dress

Understanding Bridal Silhouettes

From the classic A-line to the glamorous ball gown, the figure-hugging mermaid, the sleek sheath, and the elegant fit and flare, the bridal silhouettes available at our Baildon bridal shop each carry a distinct charm and the ability to flatter various figures, ensuring every bride finds a dress that resonates with her style.

A-line dresses: A-line dresses are universally flattering, featuring a fitted bodice that gently flares out from the waist, resembling the shape of an 'A.' This silhouette is versatile and suits most body types, accentuating the waist while providing a flowing and elegant skirt.

Ball gown silhouettes: Ball gown silhouettes feature a fitted bodice and a voluminous skirt that flares dramatically. These dresses often showcase intricate details on the bodice, offering a fairytale-like look perfect for formal weddings.

Mermaid or trumpet gowns: Designers create these gowns to tightly hug the body from the bodice to the hips and thighs, then dramatically flare out at or below the knee. This silhouette accentuates curves and provides a glamorous and sleek appearance.

Sheath dresses: Sheath dresses have a slim, form-fitting silhouette that follows the body's natural shape without flare or fullness. This style is elegant and understated, offering a modern and sophisticated look suitable for various wedding settings.

Fit and flare dresses: Fit and flare dresses combine elements of both mermaid and A-line silhouettes, featuring a fitted bodice that gradually flares out from the waist, offering a balanced look that highlights the waistline while allowing ease of movement.
