A mermaid silhouette is a modern, high-fashion take on traditional formal wear. These bold dresses are perfect for showcasing curves. Starting at a fitted bodice, a mermaid gown hugs the body all the way to the knee. From there it flares out as it cascades to the hem. This shape is perfect for emphasizing, or creating, an hourglass figure. Though strapless or low-cut versions are the ultimate in glamor, long-sleeved or high-necked options are perfect for creating a sexy look without displaying a lot of skin. Everything Formal has a figure-hugging, statement-making mermaid dress waiting for you.
