Silhouettes
Some of the most popular contemporary silhouettes include A-line, ball gown, empire, mermaid, tea-length, and trumpet.
Â
A-line
A dress or skirt silhouette that is narrower at the top, flaring gently wider toward the bottom thereby resembling the letter A. Works well on most figure types; good for disguising bottom-heavy figures. It is also known as Fit & Flare.
Â
Ballgown
Characterized by a very full skirt that begins at the waist and continues to floor length. It has a full bodice and a cinched waistline that falls into a full skirt.
Â
Empire
A type of dress or top where the waistline is raised above the natural waistline, sometimes as high as of right below the bust.
Â
Mermaid
The mermaid dress is close-fitting through the bodice, down through the hips and to below the knees where the skirt flares out.
Â
Mini
A dress with a hemline that hits the center of the thigh.
Â
Tea-length
It can resemble a cocktail-style dress that shows off the lower legs and bridal shoes.
Â
Trumpet
A straight skirt with a hem flounce that flares away from the body at the hem.
Â
Necklines
Popular contemporary neckline types include asymmetric, bateau, halter, jewel, off-the-shoulder, portrait, scoop, sheer, square, strapless, sweetheart, and v-neck. The neckline refers to the shape of the material at the top of the dress as it falls on the neck and shoulders.
Â
Asymmetric
Asymmetrical by its very definition means there is no symmetry or no balance. So this neckline appears different on either side of the center front.
Â
Bateau
Also known as the "Boatneck". This is a wide, high neckline that follows the curve of the collarbone and ends in points on the shoulder seams.
Â
Halter
Necklines have a high panel on the front, which is then tied around the neck for support and, optionally, may be tied behind the neck or include a clasp, exposing the back and shoulders.
Â
Jewel
A plain, slightly rounded neckline without a collar. Also known as the T-shirt neckline, the jewel neckline is round and sits at the base of the throat.
Â
Off-the-shoulder
This neckline sits below the shoulders, with sleeve-like straps that cover part of the upper arm. Shows off your collarbone and shoulders.
Â
Portrait
Characterized by a wide, soft scoop from shoulder to shoulder.
Â
Scoop
Also known as a "ballerina neckline", this U-shaped style is often cut low, and occasionally the scoop will continue on the back of the dress.
Â
Sheer
A neckline that is created by "sheer" or translucent fabric, such as lace or netting, rather than an opaque material or strap.
Â
Spaghetti strap
This neckline is nearly strapless, except for the presence of thin, delicate straps; a bit like strings of spaghetti.
Â
Square
The neckline is cut straight across the top in between the straps, creating a "square"-like shape to the top of the dress.
Â
Strapless
A neckline that can be any shape but is discerned by its lack of straps (neither over the shoulder nor around the neck).
Â
Sweetheart
A neckline with a plunge in the front in the shape of the top of a heart.
Â
V-neck
A neckline characterized by a plunge in the front shaped like the letter "V".
Â
Gown length
Â
Ankle
Characterized by a hemline that hits at the ankle.
Â
Floor
Characterized by a hemline that hits the floor.
Â
Mini
Characterized by a hemline that hits the center of the thigh.
Â
Tea
Characterized by a skirt length that falls between the knee and ankle.
Â
Train
Characterized by a skirt length or attached and/or detachable train that can be several feet long.
