A-line, princess or fitted? Finding the right silhouette
The silhouette is the basic shape of your dress – and it decides how you feel in it. An overview of the most popular cuts and who they flatter most.

Before you fall in love with lace or embellishments, it is worth looking at the silhouette. It determines how the dress flatters your figure, how you move and the impression you make.
A-line – the versatile one
The A-line is fitted through the upper body and flares gently from the waist. It flatters almost every figure, is comfortable and suits civil and church ceremonies alike.
Princess – the grand entrance
A fitted bodice and a full skirt of many layers of tulle: the princess gown accentuates the waist and makes for a fairytale entrance. Ideal for festive weddings in large venues.
Fitted and mermaid
Fitted dresses follow the line of the body; mermaid cuts flare out only from the knee. They look modern and sensual – and can be turned into a ball-gown look with a detachable overskirt.
High-necked with sleeves
A high collar and long lace sleeves look elegant, timeless and refined. This style is also ideal for brides looking for a modest wedding dress.
