The mermaid gown is always one of my most popular silhouettes, because it brings together two things a bride always has on her mind for her wedding day: she wants to look sexy, and she wants to be unbelievably glamorous. In the first place, a well-sculpted shape can do the trick, and for show-stopping splendor, you really want a full, dramatic skirt.
Lillian is a quintessential mermaid gown with a sweetheart neckline, but with one important modification: the skirt flares out a bit higher than usual, right at the knee, so she can be worn by petite or taller brides alike. So you get that beautiful, completely seamless, sculpted body combined with just slightly more volume at the skirt — it’s an explosion of textures made all the more dramatic by the extreme contrast of the molded shape on top.
