Mermaid / Trumpet / Fit & Flare Wedding Dress

Mermaid, Trumpet and Fit & Flare

Each of these three styles are very similar to each other with one very important exception, the shape of the bottom of the dress, specifically, the shape of the skirt. Typically, these dresses are designed with an elegant bodice above the waist, which then flows down to a tight fitting skirt. How long the skirt remains “tight-fitting” is actually the difference. For a “Fit & Flare” the skirt starts to widen just below the buttocks. For a “Mermaid” style the skirt starts to widen just above the knee. And for a “trumpet” style, the skirt starts to widen below the knee or lower. Each of these styles represent a look that is unquestionably a dramatic, elegant and sophisticated.
