A-line: a
fitted bodice that flares out to the hem creating an A shape.
Ballroom:
This is the classic Cinderella type gown, full skirt, off –the-
shoulder and a natural waistline. This type of gown is great for
the full-figured bride.
Basque waist-
the waistline begins below the waist, forming a U or V shape: slenderizing:
a good choice for brides with wide hips.
Empire:
Cropped bodice, high waist, slightly flared skirt: not a good choice
for large busted brides, along with clingy fabrics and heavily decorated
bodices.
Miniskirt-
The hem is above the knee
Princess:
Slim fitting bodice with emphasis on the waist.
Sheath: No
waist: fabric continues down the body from the shoulders to the
ankles for a close-fitting look.
I'm sure there are others that I did not include here or variations
of these.
