Lately I’ve noticed that there seem to be a lot of confused gals out there when it comes to the mermaid or trumpet style wedding gowns. Many use the description interchangeably, but let’s take a closer look…
A Mermaid gown actually fits fairly close to the body until the dress hits the knee, then it flares out.
A Trumpet gown fits close around the body to just below the hips and then flares.
Another thing I’ve noticed is a lot of full figured women think since these gowns are so close to the body, it won’t look right on them. WRONG!!! They actually have a slimming effect. SURPRISE!!! So, if you are full figured but still have somewhat of an hour glass shape I strongly encourage you to try a few Mermaid or Trumpet style gowns on.
Happy Shopping!
