Silhouette

Mermaid

Close through the body, flared below the knee

Contoured tightly from bust to knee, then released into a dramatic flare — the most body-conscious silhouette in the collection.

A mermaid is the hardest silhouette to fit and the one that most rewards made-to-measure. The break point — where the flare begins — has to sit correctly for your height and leg length, which is precisely the measurement a standard size gets wrong. Expect a closer fit and less walking room than any other shape here.

Who it suits

Those who want the waist, hip, and thigh line emphasised. Requires accurate measurements through the hip and thigh.
