An A-line wedding gown is the most flattering gown that a girl could wear, because it typically balances out the figure, and the skirt literally comes out in an A shape. It is also sometimes called a princess line, but in fact the princess line refers to the seam lines down through the front of the bodice. These are princess seams that give the shape of an A-line. When a gown is cut with princess seams, typically it becomes an A-line gown.
