A-Line Wedding Dresses

The A-line wedding dress is fitted around the bodice and the skirt widens to form an A shape as it falls. This style falls from the bust to the hem in an unbroken line. With this simple style, the A-line dress is adaptable to different lengths and fabrics. A classic choice for any occasion.

The princess line is variation of the A-line. Vertical panels that run from either the shoulder or the armhole to the hem. Because the princess line has long vertical seams it creates a slimming effect, and can make you appear taller.

The A-line style can be cut as separate bodice and skirt made of two different fabrics. The A-line dress can be cut above the knee for a fun and flirty bride, or you can wear it floor length which is suitable with a short train for the more traditional wedding dress.

You can achieve a lovely feminine silhouette with a soft, simple effect with a light, flowing silk or satin. A heavier fabric such as shantung will retain its' shape, and will give you a more formal structured effect.

Because the A-line is so simple, lace and beadwork will be more prominent. if you are planning to embellish your wedding dress a simple style will not detract from the decoration.

Things to Consider:

The A-line dress is versatile and while the silhouette is clear cut and the neckline, sleeve, or fabric can be varied the style is an ideal canvas for embellishment.

Best Figure Type:

The A-line dress suits almost all body types. The princess line, in particular, can give you the illusion of height if you are on the shooter side. A well fitted A-line or princess line will slim down a rounded figure, and hide wide hips. A popular wedding dress, the A-line is considered to be flattering for most body types.

Fabrics to use:

For a soft, flowing silhouette try satin, crepe, or georgette. Velvet or duchess satin will give a more structured outline.
