The mermaid dress is a popular gown that, as the name suggests, is an evening gown shaped like a mermaid. It features a form-fitting bodice and a skirt that is designed to resemble a mermaid's tail in silhouette. The dress is close-fitting until the knees where the skirt starts to flair out. Depending on the dress, the skirt may or may not be the same color or texture.
A mermaid gown hugs the form of the woman wearing the dress and accentuates her beautiful curves. Many people choose the mermaid dress because of the form-fitting nature and for the different variations of flare in the skirt. Each style of the mermaid dress offers different benefits and will flatter different body types.
Considering your flare-height and flare-width are significant factors in choosing a mermaid gown. If you want to create the illusion of an hourglass body shape, then you will want to choose a dress that flares out just at the hips. If you are looking for a wider or fuller flare, consider a flared mermaid skirt that layers tulle under the dress fabric or alone. A more traditional mermaid dress looks features a skirt that flares beginning at the knee.
No matter what, there is a mermaid homecoming dress that will fit every girl's tastes and desires.
