Silhouette

A-Line

The silhouette that suits almost everyone

Fitted at the shoulders and waist, then flaring gently to the hem in a clean A — the most forgiving and most versatile shape in the atelier.

An A-line skims rather than clings. Because the skirt widens steadily from the natural waist, it balances broader hips, creates a waist where there isn’t an obvious one, and stays comfortable through a long evening. If you are unsure which silhouette to commission, this is the one we suggest first.

Who it suits

Most body shapes. Particularly flattering if you want to define the waist and let the hip and thigh move freely.
