Everything You Should Know About Fit and Flare Wedding Dresses

Why Is the Fit and Flare Wedding Dress the Best Choice?

Most brides dream of a dress that makes her look like a princess, and the sweetheart neckline is most likely the favorite one, but the silhouette that makes almost every woman looks amazing and feel comfortable is the fit and flare wedding dress. What is that? Well, this term is used to describe any dress that fits tight on the top and gradually flares out. Most of the times the fit and flare dresses are confused by the mermaid and the trumpet dresses, because they look really similar, but the way they feel on the body is very different.

The trumpet silhouette is closely tight from the top to the mid thigh and then flares out, the mermaid only flares at or below the knee, and that is why the fit and flare is the best silhouette to wear on your wedding day. It is more comfortable since it is only tight on the top and flare out right below the hips, offering the loosest fit on the legs, so it makes it easier to walk and dance.

What Body Shape Looks Better in a Fit and Flare Wedding Dress

This type of silhouette goes with almost every body shape but it looks better on women with large hips. Theses dresses contour the curves beautifully and if you are looking to create a slimming effect, go with diagonal draping.
