Which Body Types Shine in Mermaid Wedding Dresses?

[1] Hourglass: For hourglass brides, mermaid gowns are very flattering. Structured bodices and light embellishments enhance balanced proportions to draw attention to both breasts and hips. 

[2] Rectangle: If you have a straighter frame, mermaid dresses are an excellent way to create curves by tightening around the waist. Lace, corset-style boning, and flared hems create lovely feminine shapes. 

[3]  Petite Brides: High flare points in the skirt help a petite figure look tall, especially when styled with a V-neckline, elongating the figure for a statuesque look. 

[4] Curvy Brides: Supportive boning, supple fabrics, and tasteful ruching allow curvy brides to feel comfortable while displaying their shape. The structural designs enhance curves, but do not constrict them, allowing curvy brides to feel empowered in their bridal gown.

Modified Mermaid Styles for Every Bride

Not all brides wish to wear a form fitting silhouette from hip to knee. That’s exactly why a softer mermaid, or trumpet silhouette will be a fantastic option for all shape brides including pear shaped, apple shaped, or athletic shaped. A softer silhouette with a looser hip or higher hem, allows for some base comfort and still provides lovely drama. Cocosbride's selection of drama ensures our brides will find her silhouette that makes her feel spectacular!
