A wedding dress or bridal gown is the dress worn by the bride during a wedding ceremony. The color, style and ceremonial importance of the gown can depend on the religion and culture.
There are 5 basic types of wedding gowns, they are:
1) A- line wedding gown
2) Ball gown
3) Empire
4) Mermaid/ Trumpet
5) Sheath

*Ball Gown:*
This is a true “princess” dress. It has a fitted bodice and a full skirt. It accentuates the waist and covers the lower half if your body .

*A-Line* :
It is slightly flow from the waistline down to the hem, A-lines have fitted bodices through the waist, it flatters the waistline and cascade out towards the ground, resembling the outline of an uppercase "A."it can also elongate your body shape
