Discover Your Silhouette
Every gown begins with a silhouette. Explore our six signature forms and discover the foundation for a design entirely your own.
The A-Line Silhouette
The Élan is defined by a beautifully fitted bodice that follows the natural contours of the body through the waist before gradually opening toward the hem, creating an elegant, elongated silhouette.
Rather than introducing dramatic volume at the waist, the skirt expands with a softer, more considered progression. The result is a silhouette that feels graceful and fluid while maintaining a beautifully defined waist.
In our illustrated example, the waist is distinctly defined before the skirt begins its gradual descent outward, creating one continuous, sweeping line from waist to hem.
Every element surrounding the silhouette, from the neckline and fabric to the volume, train and embellishment, can be entirely reimagined. What defines the Élan is its signature proportion: a fitted waist followed by a gradual, uninterrupted widening of the skirt.
The Élan is an ideal starting point for a bride drawn to definition, movement and volume without the dramatic fullness of a traditional ball gown.
The Ball Gown Silhouette
The Grande is defined by a fitted bodice that meets a dramatically full skirt at the natural waist, creating a striking contrast between structure and volume.
Unlike the gradual expansion of the Élan, the Grande introduces fullness immediately from the waist. This creates its unmistakable proportions, with a defined upper body and an expansive skirt that brings presence and grandeur to the silhouette.
In our illustrated example, the waist is distinctly defined before giving way to a voluminous skirt that extends outward and toward the floor, creating a dramatic sense of scale.
Every element surrounding the silhouette, from the neckline and fabric to the structure, train and embellishment, can be entirely reimagined. What defines the Grande is its signature proportion: a fitted bodice paired with immediate and substantial volume through the skirt.
The Grande is an ideal starting point for a bride drawn to dramatic proportions, a defined waist and an unmistakable sense of occasion.
The Mermaid / Trumpet Silhouette
The Sirène is defined by a sculpted silhouette that follows the natural contours of the body through the bodice, waist and hips before opening into a distinctive flare toward the lower portion of the gown.
Unlike silhouettes that create volume from the waist, the Sirène maintains a close, elongated line through the body. The flare is introduced lower in the silhouette, creating a striking contrast between the fitted upper form and the movement of the skirt.
In our illustrated example, the gown remains closely fitted through the hips and thighs before transitioning into a more dramatic, sweeping skirt.
Every element surrounding the silhouette, from the neckline and fabric to the placement of the flare, train and embellishment, can be entirely reimagined. What defines the Sirène is its signature proportion: a closely sculpted form through the body followed by a distinct lower flare.
The Sirène is an ideal starting point for a bride drawn to a more sculpted silhouette that emphasizes the body while retaining movement and drama through the ski
The Bridal Mini Silhouette
The Minuit is defined by its abbreviated length, transforming traditional bridal structure into a shorter, more playful silhouette designed for movement and celebration.
Unlike the floor-length proportions of our other silhouettes, the Minuit finishes above the knee, allowing the legs to become part of the overall composition. Its shorter proportions can be interpreted through fitted, structured or voluminous designs while remaining distinctly bridal.
In our illustrated example, a sculpted bodice follows the body through the waist and hips before finishing in a clean mini length. Intricate beading and embellishment bring dimension and luminosity to the otherwise streamlined form.
Every element surrounding the silhouette, from the neckline and fabric to the structure, embellishment and length, can be entirely reimagined. What defines the Minuit is its signature proportion: a distinctly bridal silhouette cut above the knee.
The Minuit is an ideal starting point for a bride drawn to a modern second look, an after-party dress or a shorter bridal moment designed for celebration.
The Basque Waist Silhouette
The Allongée is defined by an elongated bodice that extends below the natural waist before descending into a distinctive pointed or curved line, creating a sculpted transition between the bodice and skirt.
Unlike silhouettes that introduce volume directly at the natural waist, the Allongée carries the structure of the bodice lower onto the body. This visually lengthens the torso while allowing the skirt to emerge from a lower, more dramatic point.
In our illustrated example, the structured bodice extends below the natural waist into a pronounced V before giving way to a voluminous skirt, emphasizing the contrast between the sculpted upper form and the fullness below.
Every element surrounding the silhouette, from the neckline and fabric to the depth of the waistline, skirt volume, train and embellishment, can be entirely reimagined. What defines the Allongée is its signature proportion: an extended bodice that descends below the natural waist before transitioning into the skirt.
The Allongée is an ideal starting point for a bride drawn to a sculpted waist, elongated proportions and a more architectural approach to the traditional bridal silhouette.
The Sheath / Column Silhouette
The Ligne is defined by a clean, elongated silhouette that follows the natural line of the body before falling with a relatively straight and uninterrupted shape toward the floor.
Unlike silhouettes built around volume or a dramatic flare, the Ligne maintains a refined sense of continuity from bodice to hem. Its narrower proportions create an elegant, lengthened appearance while allowing the details of the gown to take centre stage.
In our illustrated example, the gown follows the body through the waist and hips before continuing downward in a fluid, nearly straight line, without the pronounced lower flare of the Sirène.
Every element surrounding the silhouette, from the neckline and fabric to the train and embellishment, can be entirely reimagined. What defines the Ligne is its signature proportion: a long, narrow form with a continuous line from the body to the hem.
The Ligne is an ideal starting point for a bride drawn to clean proportions, understated elegance and a silhouette that feels effortless yet distinctly refined.
