An A-Line dress is a dress that gradually becomes wider from top to bottom, similar to an A in shape.
An empire waist dress is a dress having a waistline just below the bust, and a skirt that is long, loose, and straight.
A shift dress is a dress in which the cloth falls straight from the shoulders and has darts around the bust. It frequently features a high scoop or boat neck. Shift dresses are often confused with the sheath dress, which is form-fitting and shaped by tucks on the waist area.

A princess dress is a dress style of women's clothing characterized by garments that are closely fitted to the waistline, which is unbroken by a seam.
A high waist dress is a dress that defines the silhouette of a garment sitting higher up between under the bust and the waist. It applies to garments worn on the bottom half of the body such as trousers or skirts. It may sometimes describe the formation of the waist line on dresses though.
A drop waist dress is a dress with the waist of the dress dropped lower, falling close to the top of the hips. By doing this it creates an illusion of a torso being lengthened. This style was largely worn during the 1920s.
An asymmetrical dress, waterfall, or mullet skirts, are dresses with a hem that is higher in the front, or side, than in the back.
A blouson dress is a dress having a close waistband with blousing of material over it.
A sheath dress is a fitted, straight cut dress, often nipped at the waistline with no waist seam. ... While the sheath dress can come in many patterns and lengths, it often is worn with short sleeves and reaches knee length.
