Before entering a wedding salon, you should know the basic wedding dress styles and terms used to describe them. The wedding dress is usually defined in 5 parts: silhouette, sleeves, bodice, neckline and train. For each piece of clothing, there are several different styles:
Silhouette Silhouette is the basic shape of a garment:
Ball Dress: A ball Mermaid wedding gown Singapore is characterized by a fitted bodice and a thread that leads to a very full skirt (Think Cinderella)
Empire: The empire style dress wears a high waistband (right under the bust) that falls into a thin (but uneven body) skirt.
A-Line or Princess: A-line or Princess shape incorporates straight stitches flowing from the shoulders down to the open skirt, creating and turning V - or A - shape.
Sheath: A thin sheath closely follows the line of the body, creating a form that resembles a form
Mermaid: The mermaid style is a form that is about the same size as the sheath, and then flows around the knees, forming a mermaid shape.
Sleeves For wedding dresses, the sleeves are just longer or shorter. Read below to decide which type of sleeve is right for you.
T-Shirt sleeves: As the name suggests, these sleeves are similar to those of your favorite t-shirt. This style is a great way for brides who want to close their extra arms but do not want to go all the way.
Cap Sleeves: Shorter than the sleeve of the T-shirt and are more rounded, so more baring. Caps sleeves work best for women with thin sleeves and good tones.
Off-The-Shoulder Sleeves: These sleeves cover the upper part of the arms while leaving the tops of the shoulders exposed. The sleeves also cover the upper arm enough to make the majority comfortable.
¾ Long sleeves: This style has a classic, feminine-style feel, with sleeves that end in the middle of the elbow and wrist. A good look suitable for a formal or winter wedding.
Spaghetti Belts: These are small straps with no sleeves attached. Not “shy,” this style works best for brides who have high arms or want to look sexy!
