A mermaid silhouette is one of the most dramatic and figure-hugging dress styles, designed to highlight every curve of the body.
This silhouette features a form-fitting bodice that closely follows the contours of the bust, waist, and hips — often through structured seams or boning — before flaring out dramatically around the knees or lower thighs. The result resembles the graceful shape of a mermaid’s tail, giving the style its name.
