Fit and flare wedding dresses are for the bride who wants to look sculpted and feel comfortable. The silhouette hugs the bodice, waist and hips before flaring out into a train, giving you the shape of a fitted gown with the movement of a fuller skirt. Our fit and flare wedding dresses are designed in the UK in soft, fluid stretch fabrics that contour the body, and they are cut to be comfortable from the first photograph to the last dance. Every style is available in UK sizes 4 to 28.

Contour with comfort

The secret to a great fit and flare is the fabric. Our stretch crepe and sophisticated jersey follow the body without clinging, giving a smooth, flattering line while allowing you to move, sit and dance. The matte finish looks clean and modern, and the weight gives the dress a luxurious drape. Because the fabric has stretch, many brides find these gowns more comfortable than traditional structured styles, with a fit that feels like a second skin rather than a corset.

Four ways to flare

Each of our fit and flare dresses has its own personality. Genevieve is a fitted mermaid-style gown in stretch crepe, with a scooped V-neckline, pleats across the bodice and removable off-the-shoulder bardot sleeves. Bea combines a square neckline with a floating chiffon cape and a breathtaking fit and flare train. Otillie has a plunging V-neckline, an empire waistband and delicate chiffon flutter sleeves. Mabel pairs a wrap-over V-neckline with a draped chiffon cowl back for a quietly dramatic reveal.

Necklines, sleeves and backs

With a fit and flare, the details carry the design. Genevieve and Mabel put the focus on the bodice and back, with pleating and cowl draping. Bea and Otillie add softness with chiffon, either as a cape or as flutter sleeves, which gives coverage without weight. Many of our styles are bra-friendly, and concealed zips and buttons that run to the hem keep the lines clean. Choose the feature you love most and let the rest of the dress support it.

Accessorise with ease

A fit and flare gown has clean lines, so accessories can be as simple or as bold as you like. A cathedral or chapel veil flows behind a train, a birdcage veil adds vintage charm, and a pearl headband gives a soft, modern finish. Statement earrings and a small bridal bag complete the look. For a different mood, remove the cape or sleeves and style the gown with a hair bow for the evening.

Who suits fit and flare

Fit and flare is a flattering choice for brides who like to show their shape. The fitted bodice and hip define the figure, and the flare gives you room to walk and dance with ease. Taller brides often enjoy the elongating line, and brides who want a more relaxed gown find the stretch fabric forgiving and comfortable. If you love the idea of a sleek silhouette but want freedom of movement, this is the shape to try.

Sizing and fit

Our fit and flare wedding dresses are available in UK sizes 4 to 28. Our size information page explains how to measure, and our partner boutiques can help you try styles in person.

Finishing the look

Once you have chosen your gown, add the finishing touches. A veil, a pearl headband or a hair bow completes the bridal look, and your bridesmaids can wear dresses and accessories in a palette that sits beautifully beside your own. Take your time, enjoy the process and choose the pieces that make you feel wonderful.
