Strapless fit and flare gowns
Strapless wedding dresses are considered a classic. Bare shoulders can look beautifully paired with a dramatic flair of the skirt. A sweetheart neckline accentuates décolletage, and is perfect for the bride who wants to either enhance or create the illusion of curves. It also lengthens the neck and adds balance to the overall silhouette. Our Rosalyn gown below is the perfect classic fit and flare made in sumptuous satin with a gorgeous twist on the sweetheart neckline, and flared train.
Lace fit and flare wedding dresses
Wedding dresses in lace are super feminine and utterly romantic. They are as timeless and elegant as they are versatile. Lace fits perfectly in the elegant and romantic wedding theme, as much as in the beach ceremony. A fully hand beaded gown is super glamorous along with delicate lace is a fabulous way to celebrate your wedding. Our Calia gown below has become an instant favourite, with intricate lace appliqué and beaded workmanship, an exquisite train, it’s a flattering silhouette for any bride.
Mermaid gowns
The mermaid silhouette, also known sometimes know as a fishtail, is the most glamorous and dramatic of all these styles, as the gown is closely-fitted down to the knee or below, and then the skirt flares out dramatically. It’s all in the dramatic cut, the mermaid fit and flare can highlight a curvy figure or even add curves where there are none, making it one of the best dress styles for hourglass figures. For a high-fashion, sexy silhouette, like our Liana gown below, this is an ideal choice and can make more impact for a bride who wants a wow-factor dress.
V-neck gowns
A V-neck fit and flare gown is a great option to lengthen the body and also provide fantastic support for the pear and hourglass shape who want more support. The V-neck style is great to show off a plunging neckline and highlights your figure by hugging your bottom and widens out below with a beautiful wide train. Our romantic Aylin gown below, is a perfect silhouette for any shape with a plunging neckline and shapely silhouette softened by the delicate lace appliqué with beading and sequins.
Aylin GownSheath bridal gowns
What differentiates a sheath dress from other fit and flare styles is that it’s fitted through the bodice with a skirt that falls straight. These dresses are usually body-hugging wedding gowns and work best for slim brides with balanced figures. It is also suitable for petite brides on the slim side since it tends to elongate the silhouette and enhance curves. Some sheath numbers have skirts that flare just below the knee like our Camilla gown, other sheaths have a straight skirt that really distinguishes them from a mermaid or fit-and-flare gown.

This classic style is a gown you will look back and love forever.
