What is the mermaid dress?
The mermaid dress is characterized for being a piece that is tighter to the body and with a larger opening at the end. Despite being well known in long models, it is also possible to find the piece in short versions, so you can wear the look on different occasions.
Who can wear a mermaid dress?
- Chubby women: those who are overweight are often afraid to take a risk in this type of garment. However, the fitted model doesn't need to be as tight for the plus size dress model, and the slit can start just below the hips to balance the body.
- Body type: in order not to make a mistake with the look, it is ideal to leave this type of piece for women with rectangular body shape (same size shoulder and hip), as the mermaid dress will be balanced in the look. Women who have larger hips should avoid the model, as it tends to increase the lower part of the body.
- Pregnant women: choosing a maternity dress can be a very complex task. And if you do not want to make a mistake and want to enhance your belly, do not hesitate to choose the mermaid dress. The form-fitting model enhances the pregnant woman's body and the more open skirt underneath gives a modern look.

If the idea is to choose a mermaid dress model to wear during the day, this option is perfect. The model is fitted to the body to below the hips, and then has a ruffle that extends to the knee and balances the body. To further enhance the look, be sure to wear high heels.
The version here is a bit longer and features a midi length. The version, despite not being long, is very suitable for formal events, including evening parties, because the model is black, with transparencies and appliqués that make the outfit more sophisticated.
The short and lace models are also a perfect bet, especially for formal events. The model, despite not being very long, can be used at weddings by guests. The transparency of the lace on the back keeps the piece modern for young women who do not want to leave the ladylike look.
We have already shown knee-length, knee-length models and now it's time for the over-the-knee version. The short model has a more open ruffle and a very trendy design, which leaves the result super modern and youthful, enhancing the body and leaving the legs in sight.

The inspiration of the look here is a long red dress. The knitted pattern is already a charm apart from the open stitches that form designs, enhancing the piece. And to further embellish the model, they went for a slightly more open hemline, presenting the model in a mermaid dress.
If you need inspiration for a gala look, you can already save this dress model worn by presenter Eliana as one of your favorites. Here, the structured fabric fits the body and the bar with more volume highlights the mermaid dress. Another detail that enhances the piece is the one shoulder with gold applique.
When referring to the mermaid dress model, it is not the norm to use a version with a lot of volume at the bottom; and the proof of that is this model. The version fits completely to the body, and when it passes the knee has a larger opening at the bottom, but the detail does not become the highlight of the piece.
To enhance the body, the long yellow model was chosen. The structured bodycon piece thus goes to the knee and then the hemline gains much more volume. In addition, the outfit even has an off-the-shoulder neckline.

Printed
Following the style of mermaid dresses, this long model is a mix of modern prints varying between purple and blue. The model, in addition to bringing volume to the hem, also has a super modern detail: the cutouts in the waist area, which call for a fit body, so as not to skip a few chubby ones because of the open space.
If you were invited to a formal event during the day, such as a morning or afternoon wedding, long and printed versions look great. Here we opted for a long dress with a light background and floral print in brighter tones. The print of the mermaid model matches very well, but the piece still has beautiful details, such as the cutouts on the lap, which give it a modern and youthful touch.
The inspiration here is from a red carpet look. The model with sheer tulle has appliqués with rose designs. The orientation of the design follows the vertical style and this extends down the train, elongating the body and giving it a little more height. Oh, and as the garment is transparent, the bet was to use the controversial hot pant.

Preto
You know that basic little black dress for a party? Forget the basic part! The option here is a black mermaid dress, but it is far from the basics. The model has worked fabric, and the lining extends only to the hips, just after the worked fabric is in evidence and leaves a discreet and elegant transparency in the area of the legs.
Mesh models are also a great bet for the mermaid design. The more malleable fabric sits nicely on the body and creates an interesting fit at the hem. And here follows the open waist detail that feels modern and balanced thanks to the long sleeves.
The deep V neckline is what marks the piece, and in order not to make the model too heavy and full of details, the idea was to use the rest of the dress in a more balanced way, so the volume of the skirt is more discreet. and without details.
