Colors and shades
Traditionally, wedding dresses are made in white. The use of other flowers for wedding celebrations is extremely rare. However, in recent seasons, brides are increasingly choosing more delicate and soft tones.
Considering the bold silhouette of the fish dress, girls often prefer to make this dress in powdery, peach, and mother-of-pearl colors. No less popular shades are champagne, ivory and ivory. Using a non-white color allows the bride to emphasize her individuality and soften the features of the figure that the dress emphasizes. Using any beige shade, muted white with lilac or blue tints are suitable options for the mermaid model.
For bold brides, dresses with elements of bright colors are perfect: blue, red, pink, purple, yellow or green. Such elements may include ribbons, belts, shoes, and lace. Bright elements are perfect for dresses for themed weddings.
It is appropriate to use lace of a distinctive color from the dress. The outfit itself can be made in white, but the top layer of guipure or lace may have a pale tint.
This dress becomes incredibly delicate. It is important to remember that finishing colors should not differ from the main one by more than one and a half tones.

These dresses are very comfortable . When you buy one outfit, you actually get two. You can change your look after visiting the registry office already at the banquet, or you can do it on the second day of the wedding. A convenient option is when the train of the dress can be unfastened along with the skirt-tail.

However, it is still better to play it safe and buy a dress with a corset with lacing on the back. With it, the bride's image becomes more harmonious and traditional.
If you do not have the shape of the back of your body, like Jennifer Lopez, then this dress will not suit you, the side view will not be good enough and appetizing
If you have a small tummy or a wide waist, you should also avoid this option. However, a peplum model will help smooth out some of the shortcomings.

- excessive thinness and lack of seductive bulges,
- excess weight,
- short plump legs.

Therefore, if you decide to purchase this model of wedding dress, make sure that your movements are smooth and graceful , otherwise you have a chance to embarrass yourself at your own wedding with an awkward appearance.

Secrets of choice
The main criterion in choosing a suitable fish dress is the location of the divergence of the skirt. It should be at knee level - this is the best option. When walking in a fishnet dress, you feel some stiffness in your movements; you have to shorten your usual stride, and this is normal.
- Girls with voluminous legs should not give preference to the midi length. Such a model will visually only emphasize massive forms. A long skirt, on the contrary, will hide them.
- A V-neckline visually narrows broad shoulders, while the open-shoulder version, on the contrary, emphasizes them.
- A heavily decorated corset will visually increase the volume of your waist and chest. Do not overload this area with details.
- Heels solve many women's problems. It will visually elongate the figure of a plump girl, make the inch more stately and give any legs a charming look.

History of the style
Girls who follow fashion trends will be interested to know that the mermaid style wedding dress was not created by modern designers. The Godet model first appeared at the end of the last century. The upper part of the dress, down to the knee, completely hugged the girl’s figure and only towards the bottom it turned into a full skirt, sometimes with a long train, associated with a mermaid’s tail. In those days, such clothing was considered casual.
In the first half of the twentieth century, fashion designers gave a second life to the mermaid dress. The outfit acquires evening status and enjoys great success among Hollywood celebrities. Over time, designers modify the shape of the skirt and bodice, but the style remains unchanged.
