Finding the perfect gown for a special occasion can be hard, but nzgirl makes it easy with a rundown on this season’s hottest styles, cuts and the places to buy.Strikingly simpleSometimes the classic gowns are the best and the old classics generally fit into four categories Empire, Ball-gown, A-line or Princess and the Sheath or Mermaid . Empire dresses have no waist and the line of the dress falls from below the bust. Ball-gown style dresses typically have a full skirt and are cinched in at the natural waist - a great option to hide thighs and tummy or to create a waist. The a-line or princess cut, which has no defined waist, but is fitted close to the body then flares outwards, is perfect for all body shapes. Lastly the sheath or mermaid which is fitted throughout the body is a great option for slim and tall girls.
