Ball Gown Silhouette is the most traditional of all wedding dress shapes and is typified by a fitted bodice and natural or dropped waistline that leads to a very full skirt. |

The Cathedral train is a very formal option and can extend six-and-a-half to seven-and-a-half feet from the waist. |

The Crumb Catcher use an insert of fabric at the bust to create a double-layered effect. It looks like it is designed to catch crumbs (hence the name!) |
 |

The Asymmetrical neckline is, well, asymmetrical. By it's very definition there is no symmetry or balance. So this neckline appears different on either side of the centre front; one example is a one-shoulder design. |

The Empire waistline features a seam based high on the waist, just below the bust line. The skirt falls in a slight A-line and is named after the style's popularity during the Empire period in France. |

The Mermaid skirt is a slim, tapered, curve-hugging skirt that follows the line of the hips and thighs and flares out below the knee. |
