Full & Flowing or Sleek & Fitted? The Perfect Skirt Style For You

Your wedding dress skirt is a powerful tool to emphasize your best features and create the overall vibe of your bridal look. Understanding the magic of different skirt styles will lead you to your dream dress silhouette.

Ideal For:
- Brides wanting a fairytale or princess-like look
- Pear-shaped figures, balancing the hips and creating a beautiful hourglass shape.
- Tall brides who can carry the volume of the skirt
Fabrics: Tulle, organza, lighter satins, and flowing chiffons all work beautifully.

Sleek & Fitted Skirts

Silhouettes: Sheath, Mermaid, Trumpet, some Modified A-lines
The Effect: Emphasizes your curves, exudes elegance and sophistication, offers a modern and glamorous feel.
Ideal For:
- Brides confident in their curves
- Hourglass figures, as it draws attention to a defined waist.
- Petite brides, as fitted styles can elongate the silhouette.
Fabrics: Crepe, silk, satin, stretch fabrics with structure to hold the shape.

Finding Your Perfect Skirt

Body Shape: A-lines flatter most figures, while fitted styles work beautifully on curvy or hourglass figures.
Personal Style: Traditional and romantic? Flowing skirts might be your match. Modern and chic? Embrace a fitted silhouette.
Venue: A grand ballroom can handle a voluminous skirt, while a beach wedding might be better suited to a flowing, but less full design.
Comfort & Movement: Do you want freedom to twirl and dance? A full skirt provides more ease. Fitted styles offer a sophisticated look but can feel more constricting.

Tips

Think Beyond the Silhouette: Fabric weight and embellishments can impact how even the same silhouette looks on you.
It’s Not Just About Looks: How does the skirt make you feel? Confidence is the most beautiful accessory!
The Power of Trains: A train can add drama to any skirt style, from sleek sheaths to full ball gowns.
