A-Line Gown: The gown has a fitted bodice and a gentle flare from the waist to the skirt hem creating the shape of a capital letter A. Because this is usually accomplished with princess line panels it is also known as a princess line gown.

Bustle Gown: This is a vintage-style gown with an additional attachment added to the back of the gown (where the bodice meets the skirt)a usually a train or gathered fabric that gives the illusion of fullness at the back. It is typically tied with a bow on top.

Bias Cut Gown: This gown is cut with the true cross grain/bias of the fabric so it fits the body perfectly and has a good drape without adding volume at the waist or hips as well as being close-fitting at the hem. The skirt fabric has a fluidity and body-hugging fit that makes this gown very appealing on most body shapes.
