There are so many wedding dress silhouettes to choose from but one of our favourites - and a flattering style that never goes out of fashion - is the thigh-skimming fit to flare wedding dress. 

Fit and flare wedding dresses are a popular style of dress that falls between the classic A-line and mesmerising fishtail. Similar to the knee-flaring fishtail, its fitted body hugs the figure before gradually flaring out from the thigh, creating a fabulous figure-framing silhouette for hourglass and pear body shapes with smaller waists and fuller hips. Thanks to its ability to accentuate curves, it’s becoming increasingly popular among brides who are seeking a flattering silhouette that draws attention to their best features. 

With so many styles to choose from, we decided to share some of our favourite fit and flare wedding dresses with you in this blog.
