Wedding Dress Silhouette ① A-Line

First up is the classic A-line＊

As the name suggests, it features a shape that resembles the letter "A," gently flaring out from the waist♩

An embroidered fabric with a firm texture gives a mature impression,

while tulle or organza offers a cute image ♡

The A-line is a magical silhouette that suits any body type＊ It's recommended to try on an A-line dress first when shopping for wedding dresses♩

Wedding Dress Silhouette ② Princess Line

The "princess line" flares out even more than the A-line and has a wonderfully cute and luxurious feel♡

Pairing it with off-shoulder and embroidery gives an elegant impression,

while using tulle creates a chic and cute vibe ♩

The big silhouette of the princess line looks good on everyone＊ Brides who are concerned about their body shape should definitely go for a big silhouette to conceal it!

Wedding Dress Silhouette ③ Mermaid Line

The mermaid line is designed with a waistline that is tightly cinched, resembling a mermaid princess＊

The fitted silhouette is especially recommended for taller brides or those confident in their figures♩

The soft mermaid that gently flares from the waist is a glamorous silhouette that even brides who are unsure about wearing a mermaid dress or feel it might not suit them can wear＊

Wedding Dress Silhouette ④ Slender Line

The slender line has no flare at all and features a straight silhouette♩

This silhouette is the most popular among international brides and naturally enhances your figure＊

It is recommended for brides who prefer a natural look, especially those who are taller＊

Wedding Dress Silhouette ⑤ Empire Line

The empire line is a high-waisted dress where the seam is located at the bust rather than the waist＊

It has an ambiance reminiscent of ancient Greek goddesses ♡

Since the seam is not at the waist, brides who are not confident in their waistline can wear it too＊

However, some opinions mention that for brides with larger busts, it might emphasize the bust too much…!

Wedding Dress Silhouette ⑥ Ball Gown

The ball gown features a skirt that flares dramatically like a ballroom dress♡

The ball gowns from the world-renowned brand "Michael Cinco" are particularly famous♩

Because the ball gown has such a grand silhouette, it is recommended for taller brides＊

Brides who are petite may feel overwhelmed by the volume of the dress...!

Wedding Dress Silhouette ⑦ Fish Tail

The fish tail dress features a design where the front is short and the back is long＊

It allows for a glimpse of the legs, giving a subtly sexy impression ♡
