The waist-to-hip flare visually elongates the torso and skims over the hips — it's the most photograph-friendly silhouette regardless of body shape.
A-line vs ballgown — what's the difference?
A-lines flare gradually from the waist; ballgowns have a distinct, structured skirt that stands out from the body. A-lines are easier to move in; ballgowns are more dramatic.
