Mermaid Gowns versus Empire Gowns
The names of the gowns alone should tell you that both the mermaid gown and empire gown make a statement. The statement you prefer depends on your style and what areas of your body you want to accentuate.
The overall look of the mermaid gown is stylish, modern, sleek and definitely an attention-grabber, but not everyone may want the attention it brings.
The overall look of the empire gown is stylish in a traditional, tasteful and simple way. One of its grandest claims to fame is the wonderful camouflage it provides for heavier hips, butts or middles. The length can range from short to long, always with the emphasis on the form-fitting bodice.
Colors and additional embellishments are wide open on either gown, with the overall look staying as simple or as elaborate as your tastes. Either gown could be the perfect fit for you.
