Styles of wedding dresses
Choosing a wedding dress is far from easy. For many, it takes more than one day, others are looking for months at all. Not surprising, because the bride wants to look great on this day, and therefore everything should be perfect. Especially the dress.
It should be borne in mind that it is not in vain that designers differ in their style of wedding dresses. Each of them has its own key features, advantages, and requirements for the bride.
Ballroom
Such dresses are usually called traditional or classic. This is because most brides have chosen them for a huge period of time. They fit perfectly into a classic wedding ceremony, suit a lot of girls, create a fabulous image. Plus, the ballroom style is easy to find - almost every bridal salon offers a wide range.
The cut does not differ in anything complicated, because on top there is a corset that fits the body, and at the bottom there are very, very fluffy skirts of various designs.
Nevertheless, there are certain nuances in choosing a ballroom style for a wedding.:
- They are best suited for girls of high and medium height, and on small brides they can look too massive, cumbersome;
- They sit perfectly on the owners of large breasts. After all, the corset is able to favorably emphasize the sophistication of the bust forms, tighten the waist, create a feminine image;
- If the chest is small, it is better to refuse the ballroom style. This is because a fluffy skirt will visually make it even smaller. However, you can supplement the corset with flounces, thereby the chest will look advantageous;
- This style helps to highlight the waist for those who have it indistinctly.However, this effect can be achieved only under one condition - the breasts must be medium or large.
A-silhouette
Already from the name it becomes obvious that a dress of this style outwardly resembles the letter A. That is, the top is tight-fitting, but it expands downward. Frills, folds are absent, so as not to spoil the beauty, elegance and sophistication of the image.
The main advantages include:
- The main advantage of the style is its property to give girls sophistication, even if the figure has certain disadvantages.
- The style is universal, since it hides excess fullness, due to the vertical seams, it makes the girl slimmer and taller.
- The A-line allows you to emphasize the waist, even if there is not much of it. At the same time, the chest is tightened and visually enlarged. For those with a small bust, this is a very important plus.
- The A-silhouette is varied due to various finishes and cut options.
- A lot of accessories, various boleros, capes, jackets, all kinds of shoes and so on are suitable for him.
Obviously, this style is and will be very popular among brides. After all, an outfit allows you to hide flaws, emphasize the obvious advantages, visually reduce something, and something on the contrary, make it bigger and more magnificent.
Straight cut
You don't have to go to a bridal salon to find a similar style. It is also found in evening dress stores. The finish can be quite varied. Depending on her, the outfit is suitable for a rather modest ceremony in the circle of the closest people, or for a very magnificent wedding celebration.
The cut is quite obvious, based on the name of the style. The silhouette turns out to be straight, it allows you to emphasize the hips, chest, and also the waist of the bride.
You should also carefully choose this option for a wedding dress, taking into account some of the nuances:
- Of course, the dress is perfect for beauties whose figure proportions are close to ideal. At the same time, it is not very suitable for very tall girls, as it visually makes the bride even taller.
- The ideal combination is a straight cut dress on a small girl with an excellent figure.
- Don't forget, the cut is able to emphasize literally every curve of the body. Therefore, if you want to hide the waist or voluminous hips, this style does not suit you.
- With a fuzzy waist, it is not necessary to give up the straight cut. Belts or inserts of shades that are darker than the dress will help to correct the situation. This will add the necessary accents and visually create the necessary curves in the waist.
- If your choice fell on a straight dress made of fine fabric, think carefully about your underwear. A tight-fitting silhouette can cause the resulting creases to be visible.
Mermaid
The peculiarity of such a dress is that it fits the area from the knees to the chest, and then has a flared bottom. The effect of the tail of a fabulous inhabitant of the deep sea is created.
At the same time, the sleeves are different, from short to two or three quarters. At the same time, dresses that are completely devoid of sleeves look elegant and elegant. It is not uncommon for models to have bare shoulders, a back, and no shoulder straps. As for the skirt, it is sewn in various ways.
An interesting fact is that, it would seem, such a frank image can be insanely modest. It all depends on the closeness of the dress. The bride can bare her back or chest, or she can leave only a bare neck, while all other charms will be covered with exquisite fabric. An incredibly romantic, feminine image that in some cases borders on sexuality and frankness. The most important thing is not to cross this line.
Greek style and Empire style
A characteristic feature of such models in the Greek style is the presence of a high waist, which is located directly under the chest. At the same time, expansion goes downwards and passes into a rather long skirt.
Empire style, like the Greek dress, is a versatile cut that has made it incredibly popular among modern girls. It is often called Greek because the roots of the dress are antique and somewhat resemble the clothes of the inhabitants of Ancient Greece.
The main emphasis is always on the bodice, therefore the skirt is made in a different way. It all depends on your wishes and preferences. So, some choose straight and narrow skirts that emphasize the curves of the figure, others prefer wide skirts, which allows you to hide flaws.
Such wedding dresses are mainly made of lightweight fabrics that do not interfere with free movement, allow you to feel comfortable and confident.
It is worth taking into account the fact that the Empire style is an ideal choice for pregnant brides, since the style hides the tummy, and if the term is long, then the main emphasis will be on the chest. Also, the Greek style is suitable for owners of a medium bust who want to emphasize it, and at the same time cover the hips and waist.
As practice has shown, short brides often choose just such dresses, since they visually add a few centimeters to their natural growth. Put on a heel, and then the effect will be full.
But there are certain limitations:
- This style does not suit very tall girls, since the dress visually makes you taller;
- The emphasis, as you remember, is on the chest. In this regard, the neckline should be well-groomed so as not to destroy the image;
- Excessive drapery and inserts are often detrimental rather than beneficial.
