When you select for the silhouette there are different options for you like the A-line, ball gowns, empire, mermaid, and sheath. In the A-line or princes dress there is no marked waist, the name comes from the A-shape which is created by the vertical seam flow from the shoulders down to a flared skirt. Ball gowns are normally considered as formal where the bodice is fitted with a very full skirt. The empire gowns are characterized by the raised waistline which starts right under the bust then flowing to a slim skirt.
