An A-line elongates the waist and adds height.
Flattering on anyone and perfect for hourglass and
petite figures.

The Ballgown is fuller than the A-line with a
delineated bodice. Stunning on the taller woman.

The Sheath has a form-fitting silhouette suited to
showing off a good figure.

The Mermaid accentuates a curvaceous body with a flare
below the knees.

The classic Empire gown, made fashionable in the
French court by Empress Josephine, is experiencing a
revival. An excellent choice for any body type,
including the full-figured and athletic.
