Wedding is a womans most special day, and a wedding dress is supposed to be her most exquisite wear. A woman is offered five basic choices in selecting this dream attire. Of these, the first three, Empire, Princess, and Ball Gown are loose patterns that flow down, while the other two, Mermaid, and Column, are more body hugging.

In the Empire style, the waistline starts from where the bust ends. The skirt flares forth from that point flowing over the body in a wavy style, covering the body in a beguiling way. The imperfections of the body are attractively covered in this pattern. Based upon the bust size, the bust can be made less or more prominent as required, by designing the neck and sleeves to bring out the desired effect.

The A-liner style, known as Princess, is more or less similar, with a flowing bottom and tighter top. It is a seamless style that gives the dress an elongated look, and gives the wearer a taller look. Underneath the flares of it, it does not matter much whether you have an hour glass figure or barrel figure. On a thinner frame, this pattern can be used to give the effect of all the necessary curves.
