To consider buying a mermaid evening dress, you must also consider all of the stylistic variations. Each different type of mermaid dress offers its own benefits and will flatter different body shapes. There are lots of mermaid dresses for every taste .
A mermaid dress is also called a trumpet dress or a fit and flare dress. It is close-fitting until the knees where the skirt starts to flair out, creating the shape of a fishtail or a trumpet. The mermaid dress is a relatively modern design which is gaining popularity in the fashion world.
The mermaid style gown starts out at the top with a tapered waist and then tightens around the waist, hugging the body and flaring out at the bottom. Very much so like a ocean mythical mermaid, hence the fitting name for this fitting dress. The type of mermaid flare varies between how far from the hips to the bottom it flares out, but it is this design that women love because of its ability to bring out and accentuate her curves.

Consider the variation of fabric, style and color
Flare height is a significant factor
Women who want to accentuate or create the illusion of an hourglass body shape will want to choose a dress that begins to flare just at the hips.
Women that want to show off more of their body, including their backside, should choose a dress that is tight further down and begins to flare mid-thigh or lower.
Women that want a more traditional “mermaid” look should choose a flare that begins at the knee and has the effect of looking like a mermaid’s tail.
Flare Width Should Also Be Considered
