Trumpet style dresses....

Here's mine. Just 5 more days until I get to wear it!!!! I think it's a trumpet. But not sure..assuming it falls into either one of those categories

I think mine is a trumpet?

The back shows it more

@bridetawny; I love yours! Here's mine. And happy birthday, Sam!

I'm not sure if this is trumpet. But here it is anyways.

Maybe trumpet ?

I love all of theseeee! Thanks for sharing everyone (@Jo, you amazing lady with your kickass dress and @Amanda S, your dress is beautiful obviously but those pics on the side of your pic, do you own a pug dog?? We do, that one looks like our guy haha!! )

@kaylam is that Luxe Bridal in Eagan?! That's where I found my dress! I recognize the store!

Mine is a fit and flare. Gorgeous dresses ladies!

@Sam is yours the 100 button Oleg from DB? I am in love with that dress!

As far as fits go

Fit and flare is exactly as it sounds, it fits to your body and then gently flares out from hip/mid thigh

Trumpet has a more distinct flare from the knee. There's generally a seam.

A true mermaid will flare out from the calf or ankles with a seam but is also generally used to describe dramatic trumpet styles with a lot of tulle at the bottom.

Here's mine. Is this considered to be trumpet style?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Your dress is more like trumpet style. Mermaid is a bit tighter on the thigh then puffs out by the knees... hopefully you understand. Enjoy your day!

@Sam birthday wishes.

Aww thanks for the bday wishes, ladies! I'm about to get some brunch and bloody marys hahaha!! Thanks for all the info on dress types to those who helped and I love seeing each and every one of these beautiful dresses! @Schooley, mine's not an Oleg but it is from DB! It looks like this with the front with that high/illusion neckline dealy!

Fit n flare breaks away from the lower hip/upper thigh. Trumpet breaks from the lower thigh, alllllmost a fit n flare - in fact, many bridal consultants don't even say 'trumpet', just lump them in with the fit n flares! Mermaid breaks away lowest, around the knee area.

Beautiful ladies

From my understanding with the help of Google and Pinterest. ^.^ a trumpet will look more like this. A hugging fit up until the hip/mid leg. And a mermaid will continue to be tight throughout your body until your shin. Think of a mermaid and where her fin start almost at her feet. A fit and flare will look like a trumpet in a sense but tighter with a more natural flare.

My consultant called mine a fit & flare, but I mean, who knows? It has trumpet tendencies.

Oh, I just read the distinctions, and yeah, I'm a fit & flare!

@Sam; that's Stella! she's our spoiled frenchie who runs the house! Haha! Post your pug!
