Different types of graduation dresses to suit different types of personalities

The Empire Cut is a classic style for graduation dresses. It is characterized by a high waistline.  The waistline begins just below the bust. The skirt is long and straight. It flows linearly from the waist. The empire cut is ideal for pear shaped and short girls as it camouflages the shortcomings in waist and height and lends a royal and elegant look.  Another famous style for graduation dresses is the Sheath. The sheath style basically hugs the silhouette of the body. It is ideally worn without sleeves. If the body is well toned, the sheath accentuates the positives. It is most suited for thin and tall girls.



Another popular style for graduation is the A line prom gown. In this style the waist of the gown is seamless. The gown flares into a skirt from the natural waist.
This gown is best suited for girls with broad hips as it tends to flatter most body types. The Tea length gown is another favorite amongst prom goers. The length of this gown is till the shin.  It is ideal to wear if one has a tall figure and the calves are the person’s best features.  It lends a little flirty and casual look at the prom.



A high low gown has a long back sometimes extending right up to the floor and a short front till the knees. It is a new style of graduation dresses and ideal to show off an hourglass figure.  A Tulle skirt is identified from its puffed out skirt generally made of silk or rayon. The skirt’s fabric is similar to a ballerina’s tut. The puffed out skirt is good to hide heavy figures.  The ball gown is the most preferred gown style amongst all gowns as it ideally cuts the body into half near the waist.

It is perfect for average and tall bodies.
