A-line wedding dresses are another very classic silhouette. These dresses, as the name suggests, looks much like the shape of a capital/uppercase "A" or an inverted "V".
The dress usually has a tapered top, a sloped waist and a flared skirt.
A-line dresses are more suitable for "flatter" women who sport figures that are heavier in the hips and the waist.
These
dresses have a shape that is fitted around the bodice and flows outward
right to the ground. They tend to flow fluidly from the bust area right
trough to the hem with an unbroken line.
Its classic, yet simple style,
makes it appropriate for any occasion, whether it be a quiet backyard celebration or a traditional church ceremony.
Capped sleeves are usually found on delicate dresses. Note though that this type of sleeve is best suitable for women with slender arms because this look will be getting the attention of your guests who will be focusing on your sleeve area!
Like the Mermaid Wedding Dress and the Ball Gown Wedding Dress, the style of A-line wedding dresses can support various fabric choices. This all depends though on the look and/or feel you desire.
For example: If you want a simple look, the choice of "free-flowing" silks like charmeuse would be the best option. This is because charmeuse allows the dress to hang naturally, which in turn creates a soft feminine silhouette.
However, if you should so desire a more "structured appearance" that will emphasize the continuity or flow of the A-line style, it is recommended that you choose heavier fabrics that can maintain shape. These types of fabric include "peau de soie silk" or "satin".
You will get a similar effect when you use fabrics such as organza, or other supporting fabrics that are used to layer the skirt to create a fuller look.
