Show Some Skin
This year's popular style is to go bare with shoulders and arms on beautiful display with strapless dresses. There are strapless dresses, with a full skirt for that Cinderella look, or cut sexily close to the body for a more modern form. If you're thinking of a strapless or halter, remember that they place the emphasis on the bodice. Flattering designs that are flying off the racks this year are often: gently weaved, beaded, or simple with demure jeweled straps.

Body Conscious
The ever popular A-line (also known as princess) is a long cut that draws the eye downward, and often has a built-in train. This doesn't mean designers have abandoned the flowing, classic ingredients of traditional gowns - they still offer that "floating" full skirt, but cut to flatter the body. These gowns give an hourglass shape without sacrificing any of the full gown's romance.

Is A Mermaid Style Dress Right For You?
Mermaid style is ever popular. This silhouette is a lot of fun because it can really show off a curvy figure. It follows the body's curves, and then flares out at or above the knee, providing a roomy, airy swish, depending on your fabric choice. If you wish to de-emphasize your hips, this may not be the best style.

Style And Versatility For The Well-Toned Figure
The sheath works best on thin, well-toned figures. If you want a more traditional look from this contemporary shape, the addition of a detachable train can give it the appearance of a ballgown. You don't need to be tall but if you are petite make sure that the gown is in proportion to your figure. Too low a waistline could make your legs appear short.
