Re: Wedding Dress
it has to be cut very well, basically. you can always compromise and go for a trumpet shaped skirt- thats a cross between a-line and mermaid.
these are white gowns but you can see the shape/cut very well on them and i think it can easily be fit into a pakistani/indian lehenga/sharara.
this is a mermaid cut- 
its completely fitted and flares out at the knee. so its a very dramatic cut.
this is a trumpet skirt- 
here its fitted from the top and then the flare-out portion starts higher up so its a more gentle cut. more flattering too, i think.
usually any pakistani lehenga is cut a-line style, so thats the standard cut. it just flares out like the sides of the letter “A” from your waist. so its like the trumpet skirt but without the fitting at the top.
