A ballgown is that traditional ‘princess’ style, which pairs a fitted bodice with a dramatic, full skirt. It’s a very flattering look for those with a big bust or broader shoulders as it evens out your top and bottom half. However, you need to be careful if you’re petite as the dress can overwhelm you.

This style exudes glamour and is perfect for brides who dream of a classic fairytale wedding. Combining a lace-up bodice and a full, pleated or gathered ballgown skirt will really nip you in at the waist.
