Mermaid vs. Fit and Flare

I'm honestly really open to most dress styles, I know that each one has a body shape that it looks gorgeous on HOWEVER I've realized that I really don't like the full mermaid style, on anyone. Even the models. For example, the Simone Carvalli gown below is gorgeous yes, but the shape is awful. 

I mean, hello? Amazing dress, from an amazing designer. But how uncomfortable does that look? I could hardly walk! And when I think about it, everything that is supposedly accomplished with the full mermaid (covers up trouble spots in the mid-section, gives a nice hour-glass figure, shows off curves) can be done with a fit and flare! Such as this one by the same designer. 


The fit and flare gives a great hourglass shape without restricting your movement, making a much more comfortable, and equally beautiful alternative to the full mermaid! 
Of course, all of Simone Carvalli's dresses are absolutely gorgeous. But these two are my personal favorites.
