How does silhouette affect how lace photographs?

The silhouette influences how lace catches light. A-line, mermaid, and fit-and-flare silhouettes spread the lace pattern across the body and skirt, photographing beautifully in natural light. Sheath and column silhouettes hold the lace closer to the body, producing a more sculptural effect. Ballgown silhouettes show lace dramatically across a wider canvas.
