Wedding is one of the most special and emotional moments in one’s life; for ladies a dream come true!
There’s no doubt every girl dreams of her wedding since her adolescence and the first thing in her priority list is the wedding dress. Talking about the bridal gown, it can a woman’s dream turn reality or a nightmare, depending on how well she preps up for the buying process. One needs to be realistic with the expectations and make sure to pick a dress that best fits her needs. As it’s true what you see on a model may not look or feel the same on you.
One of the prevalent trends when it comes to wedding is a mermaid style dress - a nicely-designed trumpet dress with enough fit and flare. These dresses are simply perfect - they fit exactly to your figure, tight from the knee, and then dramatically flared down from there. Giving a sort of fishtail appeal, Jovani mermaid gowns have been in vogue and popular among the celebrities too!
As much as these dresses look stunning, they are easy to make someone end up with a blunder. So here’s our take on some pitfalls you need to avoid when buying a mermaid style dress for your wedding or other special occasion.
ATTENTION Apple & Pear Shaped Ladies
Ladies with apple or pear-shaped body type shouldn’t consider mermaid gowns given the style just doesn’t bode well. The reason? It accentuates the wrong part - your bottoms, which you wish to keep at their least. The dress looks best on women with hourglass figure.
Double Check the Measurements
Wrong measurements can end up as the dead spell on your dress. When you’ve decided to go with the mermaid style for your big day, make sure you let an expert take the measurements. NEVER experiment yourself.
Invisible Bodice
While it doesn’t mean you need a bodice that is transparent, it does mean you should get something that merges well with your dress and there are no visible lines to peep through. Wearing seamless undergarments under your dress are a must.
Mind Your Movements
Mermaid dresses limit your movement, so you need to take care of your feet and legs while moving. Don’t stand still with your feet together while putting on the dress for trial. If it feels comfortable and all-okay while trying, it would probably be fine on the big day too. You might need to dance around in the dress, so ensure you do not feel too-restricted.
Avoid Stiff Fabrics
Mermaid style dresses already limit your movements, and you wouldn’t want to make it any worse. So avoid picking a trumpet evening gown in a stiff fabric like chiffon, organza, and more. The dress is meant to cling to your figure and does its best when selected in a lightweight fabrics, for instance, satin or silk. Chiffon and organza look good for a dramatic appeal, yet you would lose that snuggly-fit feel.
When wearing a mermaid gown to you wedding, make sure your makeup and hairdo does justice to the look. More like a fairytale, keep your overall appearance symmetric to your inspired character.
