Mermaid wedding dresses are flattering for just about every figure, and they offer a touch of sophistication and style you can’t get with an A-line, and a form-fitting look that sheath dresses and ball gowns don’t provide. They are also known as a “flare and fit” or even as a “fishtail” dress, so if you go looking for this style of wedding dress, those are also terms to search for.

The great thing about mermaid dresses is that your shoes peek out of the bottom of the gown when you walk, so you can show off that stunning pair that make you feel gorgeous.If you want to be a knock out in a mermaid wedding dress on your big day, here are some of the best dresses in this style seen in 2017.

It has a small train and a plunging neckline to make you look sexy and sophisticated. The allure of short sleeves, lace up lower back, and open upper-back give a stunning view for guests as you pass them down the aisle.
