With a high-waisted seam just below the bust, and a flowing straight skirt, this is a very elegant shape. It is generally a leaner silhouette than the Princess or A-line styles. This shape flatters most heights and body shapes, and is ideal for brides with smaller busts as it creates an illusion of cleavage. It can also lengthen shorter brides. Think Liv Tyler or Kate Winslet.
