Mermaid wedding dresses look luxurious and the brides in them are stunningly beautiful. This style has several names: “Golden Fish”, “Fish Tail”, “Godde”, and all because it resembles the body of a lovely Little Mermaid. The incredible love story of this fabulous heroine gives this dress a special symbolism.
The selection of such a dress requires a ceremony and an impeccable taste in the choice of entertainment and a scenario for the celebration.
Features
Perhaps the wedding dress in the elegant Mermaid style can be called the most feminine style. Few people know that it originated in the 18th century during the reign of Queen Victoria. At that time, outfits with a similar cut were worn daily and they were not considered refined.
In the 30s, thanks to the French designer Madeleine Vionne, Fishtail came into fashion as an outfit that emphasizes the natural features of other stars.
A feature of the Little Mermaid dress is a large number of its variations with only apparent structural similarity. So, for example, one of the most widespread variants of the dress - the "year" is an integral model, and his skirt is sewn from wedges. They can be located behind and smoothly transition into a train, as in a flamenco-style skirt. Shuttlecocks and ruffles, as well as draperies, can serve as a train decoration.
However, it should be borne in mind that all wedding dresses made in the style of the Little Mermaid with a train are more suitable for girls with growth above average. But here there are subtleties, which we will discuss below.
Loop Types
The choice of style and style of the dress always depends on the preferences of the bride.But if the girl chooses a dress with a train, then it is worth considering the location in which the celebration will take place, because its length must clearly correspond and fit the place, and the style of the celebration, without creating additional inconvenience to the bride.
For practicality, designers have created a special classification of loops, which indicates their structure and length. For convenience, began to use English words. An interesting fact is that the words "train" and "train" are written the same in English - train.
Thus, there are the following types of trains applicable in the Mermaid dress:
- Brush train or a loop brush. Its length is the smallest among other loops - from 10 to 15 centimeters. A universal option that will be appropriate in almost all locations of the celebration;
- Court train, or in other words, a train for the court. Ideal for weddings in a registry office or other official place. The length of such an instance is 50-90 cm. Here it is already necessary to be careful not to spoil the edge of the dress;
- Watteau train (Watteau train) is not quite an ordinary train, the length of which is often equal to the length of the dress itself or slightly exceeds it. He looks like a cloak from the Middle Ages and is fixed on a wedding dress at the level of the clavicle of the bride;
- Another option is a removable loop. This is a separate part of the wedding dress, which can be of any length. It is attached to the dress. It is very convenient: if the bride wants to dance, she can easily unfasten it, and for a solemn photo, for example, attach it back.
Relevance
The train is an elegant, solemn detail, but certainly not at all simple. Behind him you need, so to speak, an eye and an eye.
Look carefully at the celebration plan. If there are a lot of dynamic contests in it, “bride theft” or just dancing until the very morning, it’s better to have one more dress in order to change into it. Dances and dresses with trains are not always compatible: they can step on it, get it dirty, tear it off ... This is a great accessory for quiet celebrations, measured and solemnity.
If the bride still wants to combine movement and the train, then in this case there is a suitable option - a transformer dress with a detachable train. For the solemn part, for example, in the registry office and the city photo shoot, the dress will be elegant and majestic, and for the second part of the celebration the beauty of the dress will remain, but the bride, having unfastened a long train, will facilitate her movement to the groovy music of the disco.
Fashion trends
- Lace. The wedding dress of the Rybka style is identical in itself, but in combination with a lace bodice it looks just like a royal. At what lace can be absolutely anything - both thin French, and quite dense with bobbins. An interesting option is a lace applique. In this case, lace is sewn into small pieces in a piece of cloth - more often it is either satin or taffeta. On the skirt, these applications are located, most often, randomly, but on the bodice - tightly.
- Frill. Ruffles give the dress and the bride herself a certain share of coquetry and mischief. Vertical frills look very original. They can also be decorated with lace or highlighted with a catchy and wide enough edging from a different density fabric.
- Neckline. There is an opinion that the "Little Mermaid" style is suitable only for tall girls - this is not entirely true. The dress, or rather its classic version, is really more suitable for girls with growth above average. It is better for such girls to turn their attention to dresses with a high neckline with open or transparent shoulders - this will visually make the bride taller.

And in case the girl has wide hips, the V-neckline will look good.
- Open back. Mermaid style wedding dresses with an open back are very seductive models. The bride choosing such a dress should evaluate her posture and make it perfect before the celebration.
- Sleeves. A wedding dress with sleeves is especially noticeable in the cold season. Sleeves give the dress mystery and closeness, although they are not an obstacle to other open elements.
- Simple wedding dress. As a rule, it lacks intricate elements, decorations and lace. But this in no way will make the dress poorer or less sophisticated. Something bright and unusual detail can add zest to the model, for example, an elegant ribbon, a combination of different fabrics, an neckline neckline of an unusual shape.
The most expensive dress
The most expensive Little Mermaid style dress with a train is the outfit created by Reni Strauss and Martin Katz. It differs from others in its decor: the dress is covered with diamonds, their total weight is 150 carats. In addition to it are diamond shoes. The cost of this wedding dress is $ 12 million. It is a pity, but the creators still have not found a buyer.
However, to look incredibly attractive and refined in a wedding dress, you do not have to spend millions. You just need to choose dresses for yourself. A wedding dress in the style of "Fish" with a train is a great option for a wedding celebration.
