What dress photo works best?
- Front view on a model or mannequin, full silhouette including the hem and any train.
- Plain, light background (white, cream, light grey) — product shots from designer sites are perfect.
- Even lighting with no heavy shadows hiding the silhouette or sleeves.
- Avoid back-views only, side-views, very stylised editorial shots, or busy runway crowds.
Mention waist position (natural / drop / basque), silhouette (ball-gown / mermaid / a-line), neckline, sleeves, train, and fabric — details the photo might not make obvious.
