Wedding dresses of a fitted silhouette with flare

When you like the line of the hips in the "mermaid" at the fitting, but its late flare seems too sharp, you should go for fit-and-flare. Sheath continues a narrow vertical almost to the bottom, "mermaid" hugs the legs tighter, and the fitted silhouette with a flare leaves a softer transition between them. This is a convenient point of comparison, not just another name for the same form.

The cut repeats the bodice, waist and hips, after which it gradually gains width. It suits the bride who wants to emphasize the curves, but does not want to turn the point of flare into the main dramatic gesture. The specific height of the transition changes the freedom of the step, so two outwardly similar models can behave differently on the stairs and in the dance. This should be checked in motion, and not determined by the frontal photo. Also note whether it is easy to change the pace of the walk without a smaller step.

According to the catalog, lace is most often combined with this shape: the pattern draws attention to the adjacent part and leads it down. Satin shows a continuous smooth line, and tulle softens the lower part in layers. A sweetheart neckline supports the rounded character of the silhouette, open shoulders add horizontal at the top, and a high neck creates a longer vertical. In the photo, fit-and-flare reads like a continuous wave: it maintains the contour of the body, adds movement at the bottom and does not turn the skirt into a separate large volume.

The form is appropriate for both a solemn ceremony and a modern hall, if you need an expressive figure without the scale of a ball skirt. Take the shoes of the planned height and compare the size size grid. Then walk around, turn sideways to the mirror and determine exactly where the flare should start for you.
