Mermaid Shape
Mermaid dresses, also known as fishtale dresses are a wonderful choice for tall women, or an hour-glass figure. Mermaid style dresses accentuate your curves by cinching in at the waist down to the knee, where the skirt then flares out for a gorgeous silhouette. There are many options to choose from, so read on to find out about our favourites.

Mermaid Necklines
Necklines are very important for your own personal body shape. Make the most out of your gorgeous figure and what suits you best.
Selena Dress One Shoulder
This delicate soft lilac silk chiffon mermaid gown by Ariella gathers beautifully around your body, as the skirt drapes and floats below. This dress is available to rent from Girl Meets Dress.
One shoulder dresses suit women who have a small to medium bust. This style draws attention to your shoulders, so if you have broad shoulders this is not best for you.
Violet Scoop Cowl Neck
A stunning deep red mermaid silk gown from Amanda Wakeley, designed with a round cowl neck and a striking fish tail hem.
A round scoop neck flatters women with narrow shoulders and can make the neck look longer. This shape makes the bust look less obvious.
Paloma V Neck Dress
From Collection 8 at Phase Eight – a beautiful limited edition navy underlay evening dress. Intricate appliqu embroidery over mesh lace makes this dress a beautiful stand out piece, ideal for a romantic wedding.
A V neckline is ideal for those who aren’t afraid of showing some cleavage. Most body shapes look great wearing a v neck, however smaller figures should wear a wider V neck rather than a deep V neck to make your shoulders broader.
Pale Pink Pleated Maxi
Prepare to be admired in this simply luxurious pale pink mermaid gown from Debut. This dress features a sweetheart strapless neckline and flattering pleating to the bodice and hips to accentuate your beautiful silhouette.
A strapless neckline suits long necks, good shoulders and a medium sized bust. Emphasise your collar bones with some extra help and look radiant in the light.
