"Hi, I'm Jenna Dunne, from Walker's Eternity Bridal and Prom, in Provo, Utah. Today, we're discussing different shapes and styles of wedding dresses. Here I have with me a mermaid or trumpet shaped wedding dress. The trumpet or mermaid style wedding dresses are very fitted through the bodice, fitted through the hips, and then flare at the knee. These dresses are very difficult to pull off. If you have a curvier figure you can definitely accentuate your curves through this dress. If you are a little bit fuller in your figure however, this dress doesn't quite suit you the best. If you are a slimmer figure and have a little bit of hip you can also have the seamstress take it in a little bit so that you do have the illusion or style of a mermaid dress."
