When it comes to wanting to highlight the figure showing sensuality and femininity, mermaid dresses may be the best option, however not everyone dares to wear it because they are not confident of their figure. This type of dress is more common in wedding dresses, however we can also see it in other kinds of dresses as well, and they are ideal for any occasion that merits elegance and sophistication. In fact it is very common to see celebrities wearing them on the red carpet.
The shape of this dress reminds us of the mythological sea creatures known as mermaids and that’s where its name comes from. These dresses consist of being fully fitted to the body and opening below the hips or slightly above the hips. No matter what the choice in the design of this dress, we will always remember the sculptural figure of the mermaids.
In general, this dress cut usually favors thin, curvy or tall women. However, in recent years designers have managed to adapt this dress cut to all body shapes, thus fulfilling the dream of those who want to wear it.
The first tip when wearing this type of dress is based on the attitude of who wears it. It does not matter if it is someone very thin or if it is a person with a few extra kilos, the important thing is that while wearing it, confidence highlights all its splendor, so that whoever is wearing it looks beautiful, especially if it is a bride on her magical day.
As a second tip we have the secrets that will help make the dress look better in case the person wearing it is slightly heavier. We recommend looking for mermaid dresses with lace and drapes in the belly area, because that will hide what we don’t want to show.
For short women who want to wear a mermaid dress, we recommend finding one where the cut of the dress begins above the knees with a large opening. This will add greater balance and harmony and make the person look a bit taller.
The last recommendations we have consist of making sure that the measurements are correct and not too big so that it looks like you borrowed it from someone, or too tight that it ends up being uncomfortable and does not allow the person to breathe properly. Another important factor to consider when wearing this type of dress is to ensure that your underwear has no lace, volume or is too tight because that would hinder the harmony and elegance of this dress style.
