Your A-Line Dress Questions, Answered

1. What body type is best for an A-line dress?
The A-line silhouette is famously known for being universally flattering! Because it is fitted at the waist and flows away from the hips, it's a fantastic choice for every body type, from pear shapes to athletic builds.

2. Is an A-line dress the same as a Ball Gown?
They are similar, but the key difference is volume. An A-line skirt has a gentle, natural flare that creates the letter "A." A Ball Gown has a much fuller, more voluminous skirt for a more dramatic, "princess" effect.

3. How do I find my size in an A-Line Gown?
The most important measurements for an A-line are the bust and waist, as the skirt is free-flowing. We strongly recommend using our official measurement guide. After you order, our stylists will personally contact you to discuss the fit.
