Ball Gowns

Ball gowns are perfect for tall and pear-shaped brides and make you feel like a princess. Some ball gowns are usually made up of fitted tops with a full skirt made of tulle fabric.

Mermaid dresses are tight dresses at the hips and thighs while flaring out below the knees giving the shape of a mermaid. These dresses are perfect for the hour-glass body shape because they show off the curves.
