Ball gown & princess wedding dresses

A ball gown wedding dress, often called a princess wedding dress, is defined by its fitted bodice, nipped-in waist and full, sweeping skirt. Ours are cut in layered tulle, satin or mikado, and deserve a venue to match.

Who suits a princess wedding dress?

A ball gown adds curves to a slim, straight figure and shows off a defined waist beautifully, while skimming over the hips and thighs. On a very petite bride, though, all that volume can be overwhelming: in that case, a gentler flare such as an A-line wedding dress may suit you better.

Volume and fabric

The volume comes either from several layers of tulle or from mikado, a fabric that holds its shape on its own without heavy structure. Tulle gives a soft, matte fullness; mikado gives crisp folds and an architectural fall. Satin sits somewhere between the two, with more sheen. For more tulle styles, see our tulle wedding dresses.

Think about the venue and the train

A ball gown with a long train needs an aisle, a sweeping staircase, a photo from behind. In a small room or at a garden wedding on grass, the train quickly becomes a hindrance. Most of our ball gowns have a long train, and a few have a shorter one.

Where to try on a ball gown

Ellebeline doesn’t sell direct to brides: our dresses are available from partner bridal shops, each with its own selection and fittings by appointment. Find a stockist near you and check which designs they carry.
