Choosing the Right Fit & Flare Wedding Dress

Fit & Flare bridal gowns features a flattering silhouette that beautifully accentuates your curves, hugging your body before flaring out below the hips. It is a cut that elevates the body and shows off every curve and contour. This modern and super-flattering design exudes sophistication and glamour.

This dress falls in between an A-line wedding dress (which has a full skirt from the waist) and a mermaid cut (which is fitted below the knee before flaring out). It is an especially flattering option for those who want to emphasize their curves. Interestingly, the fit and flare style is often mistaken for the mermaid style, and many brides who ask for a mermaid cut actually prefer something more elegant and comfortable to move around.

The fit and flare dress style embraces your curves around the waist and hips, then elegantly flows out towards the hem of the gown, creating a substantial feel. This effect is achieved through the use of luxurious bridal fabrics that envelop you in a softness and gradient effect, rather than the severe cut associated with traditional mermaid style gowns. This design ensures that the dress is both stylish and comfortable to wear, making it the perfect choice for brides who want to look and feel their best on their special day.

What is the Difference Between Fit-and-Flare, Mermaid and Trumpet Gowns?

The mermaid, trumpet, and fit-and-flare dress styles are often confused due to their similar silhouettes. However, there are distinct differences between them that set them apart. The fit-and-flare dress flares out at the hip, while the trumpet silhouette flares out at mid-thigh, and the mermaid dress flares out below the knee. 

While mermaid gowns showcase your figure the most, their fitted design can make it challenging to walk or sit comfortably. If you prefer a more comfortable and less restrictive option, a fit-and-flare or trumpet dress would be more suitable, while still accentuating your curves in a stylish way.
