Mermaid Wedding Dresses
made to measure
A mermaid gown is decided by three measurements a size chart never takes: where your waist actually sits, where your hip is widest, and the exact point below the knee where the skirt should break. Get those right and the dress does everything. Get them wrong and it pulls across the thigh all night.
How we cut it
The bodice is boned and the hip panel cut on the cross so it moulds instead of gripping. We set the flare point at your knee, not a standard measurement, and build a walking allowance into the back seam so you can climb a step without hitching the skirt.
Brides who want the shape to be the statement. Photographs beautifully in profile and holds its line in wind.
Mermaid gowns bought ready-made are almost always altered in the wrong place — taking the hem up shortens the flare and ruins the proportion.
