The A-line takes its name from the shape of the gown: fitted at the top and gradually widening towards the hem like the letter A. It is the most wearable of all bridal silhouettes, because it defines the waist without clinging to hips and thighs, and because it leaves room to walk, sit and dance all day.
At Bride Desire the A-line is made in everything from soft tulle and light crêpe to heavy, sculptural satin. Tulle and chiffon give a romantic, almost floating movement, while satin creates clean lines and a calmer, more architectural feel. Lace across the bodice or sleeves adds warmth and detail without weighing the dress down.
The silhouette works equally well for a church wedding, a manor house, a garden or a registry office, and it is easy to adapt with a train, sleeves and a veil. Every style is available from XS to 7XL and made to order, so the gown is sewn to your measurements.
If you are unsure whether the A-line is yours, try a dress on virtually, read our silhouette guide, or book a personal consultation. We will happily help you find the line that feels like you.
