Stop seeing what looks good on others, get to know what looks good on you by picking the right skirt on your party gown.
Ball Gown Skirt
Nothing can suit to almost all body types than a ball gown skirt. It is very flattering because it creates an elegant but traditional classy approach.
This skirt is recommended to pear shape and broad shoulder body type to help balance the body’s general look by detracting negative attention either from lower body part (for pear shape) or upper body part (for broad shoulder and full bust shape). This ball gown skirt also helps give waist distinction for full figure.
Slim brides are suggested to wear this ball gown skirt if they want to add some figure on their body. However, people who already have curves like hourglass type or petite body type would also want to consider this ball gown skirt as it is never out of date anyway.
A-Line Skirt
Another skirt that perfect for all shapes and sizes is an A-line skirt. Those who love elegant look in simplicity style should definitely fall for this skirt.
A-line can be slightly slender and narrow or even wider, requiring a hoop. The rule is, if you have larger hips, mostly in pear shape body, you need wider base of skirt to create an illusion of tall and slim at the same time. Too narrow skirt will only draw unnecessary attention to your wider hips.
This A-line is also good for those with short-waisted body because it can add height to the body. It is much recommended for those with a distinct waistline.
A-line with strapless fitted bodice and waist is called princess gown. This gown only looks great on full bust people.
Empire Line Skirt
The skirt starts above the waist, just below the bust, and is not as full as a ball gown or has an A-shape. Empire line is suitable for those who have slim figure with small bust and not so define waistline.
It is not recommended for hourglass and pear shaped type.
Fish Tail & Mermaid Skirt
Both fish tail and mermaid is kind of skirt that fitted at the waist and hips then flares out delicately at the bottom. The different is, in mermaid it only flares out from knee downward. Meanwhile the fish tail is the mermaid style with an extension train at the bottom back of the skirt. Mermaid and fish tail often have a diagonal cut which make it looks elegant.
This skirt is for people who want to accentuate their curvaceous figure of the back and hips. Hourglass type will certainly look sexy in this kind of skirt.
However petite, thick or short waisted is not recommended to try on this skirt.
Column / Straight Skirt
Column or straight skirt is absolutely a fashionable style for modern women who want a chic look. It is highly recommended for tall, slim or petite body and also looks great in hourglass.
Sheath Skirt
Almost similar to column or straight is sheath skirt. This sheath is very classy and elegant. It is almost like column but sheath skirt is simply fitted at the hips and falls straight down to the floor. People with flat stomach will totally turn up amazing for this skirt.
Sheath can have a wrap around in the waist part and this attachment appears like a train. With an attachment like that, the sheath look almost similar to princess line skirt.
