Wedding dresses "Mermaid" look luxurious, and the bride in them - amazingly beautiful. This style has several names: "Goldfish", "Fishtail", "Gode", and all because it resembles the body of the charming Little Mermaid. Special dress gives this dress and incredible love story of this fantastic heroine.

The choice of such a dress requires a solemn ceremony and impeccable taste in the choice of entertainment and the scenario of the celebration.

Features

Wedding dress in an elegant style "Mermaid", perhaps, can be called the most feminine style. Few people know that it originated in the 18th century during the reign of Queen Victoria. At that time, dresses with similar cuts were worn daily and they were not considered exquisite.

In the 1930s, thanks to the French designer Madeleine Vyonne, “Fishtail” entered fashion as an outfit emphasizing other stars' natural features.

A feature of the dress "Mermaid" is a large number of its variations with only the apparent similarity of the structure. For example, one of the most widely used versions of the dress, the “year,” is a one-piece model, and its skirt is sewn from wedges. They can be at the back and smoothly go into the train, as in a flamenco-style skirt. Flounces and frills, as well as draperies can serve as a decoration for the train.

However, it should be borne in mind that all wedding dresses, made in the style of "Little Mermaid" with a train, are more suitable for girls with height above average. But here there are some subtleties, which will be discussed below.

Types of plume

The choice of style and style of the dress always depends on the preferences of the bride. But if the girl chooses a dress with a train, then it is necessary to take into account the terrain in which the celebration will take place, because its length should clearly fit and fit the place, and the style of the celebration, without creating additional inconvenience for the bride.

For practicality, the designers have created a special classification of loops, which indicates their structure and length. For convenience, they began to use English words. An interesting fact is that the words "train" and "train" are written in the same way in English - train.

Thus, there are the following types of loops, applicable in the dress "Mermaid":

  • Brush train or train brush. Its length is the smallest among other loops - from 10 to 15 centimeters. Universal option, which will be appropriate in almost all locations of the celebration;
  • Court train, or in other words, a train "for the court." Ideal for marrying in a registry office or other official location. The length of such an instance is 50-90 cm. Here you must be careful not to spoil the edge of the dress;
  • Watteau train (Watteau train) - this is not an ordinary train, the length of which often equals the length of the dress itself or slightly exceeds it. He looks like a cloak from the Middle Ages and is fastened on a wedding dress at the level of the bride's clavicles;
  • Another option - a removable train. This is a separate detail of the wedding dress, which can be of any length. It is attached to the dress. Very convenient: if the bride wants to dance, she can easily unfasten it, and for a solemn photo, for example, attach it back.

The train is an elegant detail, solemn, but certainly not at all easy. Behind him is needed, so to speak, an eye and an eye.

Carefully look at the plan for the celebration. If it has a huge number of dynamic contests, “bride theft” or just dancing until the morning, it’s better to have one more dress to change into it. Dances and dresses with trains are not always compatible: they can step on it, stain it, tear it off ... This is a great accessory for quiet celebrations, measuredness and solemnity.

If the bride still wants to combine movement and train, then in this case there is a suitable option - a transforming dress with a detachable train. For the official part, for example, in the registry office and photo shoot around the city, the dress will be elegant and majestic, and for the second part of the celebration, the beauty of the dress will remain, but the bride, unfastening the long train, will ease her movement to the catchy music of the disco.

Fashion trends

  • Lace. The wedding dress of the “Fish” style is already in itself the same, but in combination with a lace bodice it looks just like a king. Moreover, there can be absolutely any lace - both thin French and rather thick on bobbins. An interesting option - lace appliqué. In this case, lace with small pieces sewn on any fabric - more often it is either satin or taffeta. On the skirt, these applications are often located randomly, but tightly on the bodice.
  • Frill. Ruffles give the dress and the bride itself a certain amount of coquetry and mischief. Vertical frills look very original. They can also be decorated with lace or highlighted with a catchy and fairly wide edging from another fabric in density.
  • Decollete. Argued that the style of "Little Mermaid" is suitable only for tall girls - this is not quite so. The dress, or rather its classic version, is really more suitable for girls with growth above the average. It is better for such girls to pay their attention to dresses with a high neckline with open or transparent shoulders - this will visually make the bride taller. Read more in our article: wedding dress for short stature. If the bride has a magnificent chest, then the dress of the “Fish” style with a cut in the shape of a heart is perfect. And if the girl has wide hips, then a V-shaped neckline will look good.
  • Open back. Wedding dress style "Mermaid" with an open back - very seductive models. A bride who chooses such a dress should evaluate her posture and make it perfect before the celebration.
  • Sleeves. The wedding dress with sleeves is especially noticeable during the cold season. The sleeves make the dress mysterious and closed, although it does not interfere with other open elements.
  • Simple wedding dress. In it, as a rule, there are no intricate elements, ornaments and lace. But this will in no way make the dress poorer or less sophisticated. Some bright and unusual detail, such as a graceful ribbon, a combination of different fabrics, a neckline with an unusual shape, can add a zest to the model.

Most expensive dress

The most expensive dress in the style of "Little Mermaid" with a train is the outfit, which was created by Renee Strauss and Martin Katz. It differs from others in its decor: the dress is covered with diamonds, their total weight is 150 carats. In addition to it are diamond shoes. The cost of this wedding dress is 12 million dollars. It is a pity, but the creators still have not found a buyer.

However, to look incredibly attractive and exquisite in a wedding dress does not have to spend millions. You just need to pick up dresses for yourself. Wedding dress in the style of "Fish" with a train is a great option for the celebration of marriage.
