An A-line dress is characterized by the silhouette of the skirt. An A-line skirt is fitted at the hips and gradually flares out from the natural waistline of the bodice towards the hemline giving the skirt the shape of the capital letter A. The A-line silhouette is extremely versatile because it can be paired with many different types of necklines, multiple fabrics and can feature any train length.

A-line gowns are perfect for any ceremony, from a simple backyard wedding to a grand church wedding. While this dress is flattering on most body types, it’s perfect for creating an illusion of height and curves for slender and petite brides. This silhouette can also slim down rounded figures and hide the larger lower body of any brides who are blessed with curves.
