A ball gown wedding gown silhouette is the fullest skirt that you can wear. Typically with a ball gown, you will have several layers of toile or crinolyn under the gown already built into the dress and you may wish to add a petticoat to give you even more fullness. This is a very flattering style. It is a little bit difficult to maneuver in a gown this big unless your venue is a larger venue, that is a large church or a reception site where you have plenty of room to move in the gown.
