Click here for some definitions and advice from our bridal consultants to help you find your dream gown. A-line styles are defined by vertical seams that extend from the shoulder to the hemline with the skirt that flares out at the waistline. This style can conceal fuller hips, but slimmer figures also like the fluid look of this style. Short-waisted brides look great in this style because the vertical lines add length. This silhouette, like the A-line, is a great look for most body types, but is especially good for thicker waists.
Ball gowns add curves and enhance the waistline of very slight figures.
Pear-shaped women also look great in this style as it accentuates the positives. This style is also perfect for petite brides as it adds length. Selecting the proper size of a sheath is very important. If you need adjustments, the alterations department at David's Bridal can ensure the proper fit. At David's Bridal, gowns range in embellishment from unadorned to lavish.
