For brides who want to emphasize their fully-feminine curves, the mermaid silhouette creates a stunning hourglass figure. The various 2010 wedding gown collections offer a lot of options:
Like the trumpet skirt, the mermaid skirt goes from fitted to flared; however the mermaid skirt flares at the knees (further down than the trumpet.) This creates the “fishtail” effect for which this popular silhouette is named.
