Ball Gown Wedding Dress Shapes

Video Transcript

"Hi, I'm Jenna Dunn in Walkers' Eternity Bridal and Prom in Provo, Utah. Today we're discussing different shapes and styles of wedding dresses. This dress is a ball gown. As you can tell, it is fitted through the waist, and then it flairs out through the bottom. A ball gowned fabric on the skirt are typically made of tool, satin or anything that can give a full shape to the dress. Um, girls that are petite or that are a little bit fuller figure want to steer clear of a ball gown. They may tend to accentuate areas that aren't necessarily your best assets. Petite girls tend to disappear when wearing these dresses because of all the material and beading. Remember, our goal is to have you wear the dress and not the dress wear you. Again, this style can also be changed with necklines, sleeve lengths. A gown like this, most girls tend to go with the strapless style or halter style. Be careful in ball gowns to have too much beading because that also accentuates the dress and adds too much detail so that you are not the main focus of attention."
