There is no noticeable “tail”, but a more subtle hourglass shape is formed. The mermaid flares at or below the knee. While the tail of a mermaid dress begins below the knee, trumpet dresses begin to flare outwards in the middle of the thigh. Since trumpet dresses flare at the thigh, they create the illusion of longer legs.
