Mermaid wedding dresses, also known as trumpet wedding dresses, are a popular choice for brides looking for a fitted and dramatic silhouette. These gowns are fitted through the bodice, hips and thighs and then flare out from the knee, resembling the shape of a mermaid’s tail. This style of gown is designed to hug the bride’s curves and showcase her figure.
Mermaid dresses are typically made of a heavier fabric such as satin, taffeta, or lace, and can feature a wide range of embellishments such as beading, embroidery, and lace appliques. They can also come in different neckline styles, such as sweetheart, V-neck, and scoop. Some mermaid dresses also come with a long train to add a touch of grandeur.
Some popular variations of mermaid gowns include:
- The fishtail mermaid gown, which features a very fitted skirt that flares out at the bottom and mimics the shape of a fishtail.
- The modified mermaid gown, which is a slight variation on the traditional mermaid silhouette and features a slightly less fitted skirt.
- The off-shoulder mermaid gown, which features a fitted bodice and skirt with off-shoulder sleeves.
Mermaid wedding dresses are perfect for brides who want to show off their curves and have a dramatic and elegant look on their wedding day. They are also suitable for brides who want to make a statement and want to stand out.
