Ball gown dresses are the most traditional and formal of all shapes. This style of skirt is best suited for the bride in search of a classic and elegant look. The "ball gown" is characterized by a fitted bodice and a waistline that leads to a full skirt. This dress is a great choice for medium to taller brides and for those that wish to hide large hips. This shape is not recommended for petite brides as the full skirt can overwhelm or take away from the appearance of the bride.
