Closed wedding dresses

Since ancient times, a girl had only one glance to charm the stronger sex. And if from under the fluffy skirt an ankle was shown or from under the openwork fabrics at least a little shoulder was exposed, then the men generally lost their minds.

And now wedding dresses most of all resemble luxurious ballroom dresses, generously exposing the charms of the bride: open shoulders and back, a bust slightly covered with a bodice or a deep neckline. Fantasies nowhere to roam, everything is in plain sight. Excessive openness no longer surprises anyone. But the male gender does not intrigue either. At the same time, a closed wedding dress looks like a relic of the past. But is it?

In fact, Kate Middleton's wedding dress is considered an example of sophisticated taste. He was expected, perhaps, with no less impatience than the royal wedding itself.

But any other bride, regardless of her social status, will look in a closed dress not only modest, but also very noble.

Such a sublime, romantic and somewhat mysterious image among the abundance of the naked body of other brides will surely attract all the looks, and will make many people think: is “nudity” really the only way to attract male attention?

• First of all, for those brides who have a refined taste, a sense of proportion and style.
• Believing brides, and it doesn't matter if they are Orthodox or Muslim, we have similar traditions in this respect.
• For girls who want to impress others with their sophisticated style and stand out from the general background.Such a choice can also be dictated by the modesty inherent in the bride.
• A closed dress with long sleeves, with a good cut, allows you to hide many figure flaws, and not only too full, but also too thin (small bust, bony shoulders, bad skin, etc.). Some brides are too suspicious and can come up with some imaginary flaws for themselves, but a closed dress will be such a good choice that you should not be upset.
• For brides to whom a woman's instinct tells: the body looks much more piquant and enticing, if it is not exposed, but shown in a closed, but translucent or tight-fitting dress. Indeed, such an outfit looks incredibly sexy with the outward modesty of the style.
• If the wedding takes place in winter, then brides in open dresses will not be envied - it will not take long to catch a cold. Therefore, closed models will not only be more sophisticated, but also a more practical choice.
• If the wedding takes place outdoors in summer, a closed openwork dress is a good choice for brides with sensitive skin. It will protect delicate skin from the scorching sun.

The name itself suggests that in such a dress the top and back are closed, as well as the arms - in whole or in part, depending on the length of the sleeve. However, fully closed, it looks very festive when used in combination with the main fabric of the dress, giving the bride a delicate and fragile look.

At the same time, a wedding dress can look like a deeply lowered ballroom dress, only the bodice, back and sleeves should be made of lace or sheer fabric. For girls with a full figure, these dresses will help create an unforgettable image. And much more attractive than revealing outfits that show not the most successful parts of the figure (full shoulders and arms, fat folds on the back).

Another option is also possible: a closed front, long sleeves and an open lace back, which looks very spicy and even extravagant.

A closed-back wedding dress can be found in any style. And their types are no less diverse than in open ones. This also applies to the cut, and the choice of fabric or their combination.

The most harmoniously combined is a fairly dense fabric with lace or airy translucent, from which an effective drapery of the neckline is performed. In addition, closed dresses can be worn for a wedding ceremony in a church - they correspond to all the canons.

Wedding dresses with a closed back will help to hide possible skin imperfections, traces left by a bathing suit during sunburn, etc. The bride should look perfect from any angle, so designers pay a lot of attention to this part of the dress: they decorate with a light mesh, lace or embroidery, a number of beautiful buttons ...

The closed top can be made from the main fabric, however, models look much more interesting where the main, rather dense fabric of the dress contrasts with lace or richly decorated chiffon inserts.

A closed wedding dress with long sleeves gives the bride's image a certain aristocratic dignity, dignity and, at the same time, restraint.

The sleeve can, in principle, be of any length and shape:

• long;
• three quarters;
• short;
• straight;
• narrowed;
• extended at the bottom.

A bride with short lantern sleeves looks very touching, even somehow childish, and a long narrow sleeve evokes associations with a royal dress.

An off-the-shoulder wedding dress helps create the image of a pure, chaste bride. However, here you should take into account the features of the figure:

• A V-neckline is suitable for a round face and wide shoulders, visually narrowing them;
• the boat neckline will make the skinny bride's narrow shoulders appear wider.

We have already said above that the shoulders can be covered with a lace or chiffon insert - it looks very beautiful and elegant.

A wedding dress with a closed neck is not recommended for overweight girls, as well as with a short neck, because visually it makes the neck even shorter. But for slender girls with a long neck, this is a great option - it will emphasize their fragility, tenderness and some kind of helplessness, which will awaken the instinct of a defender in any man.

A lace dress with a satin cover looks incredibly impressive. The shiny fabric is half-hidden by an airy lace top, but it shimmers softly with every movement, and the delicate lace pattern looks even more beautiful against such a background.

For pregnant women, closed dresses are also a great option: they make them slimmer and, depending on the taste of the bride, can have a wide variety of cut. Very often, preference is given to the Greek style (Empire) with a waistline under the bust, which is successfully combined with sleeves and a beautifully decorated bodice.

The choice of fabrics for wedding dresses is extremely wide:

• brocade;
• silk;
• atlas;
• lace;
• tulle
• organza;
• chiffon;
• crepe de chine.

The combination of fabrics of the same color, but with different density and texture, looks very elegant, and almost all fabrics are perfectly combined with guipure and lace fabric.

For a wedding celebration, rich fabrics with a complex texture are often chosen, which practically do not need additional decorations and require a laconic, exquisitely simple style, in particular, closed wedding dresses.

But dresses made from less pretentious, including thin, airy, light fabrics, thanks to various kinds of decorative elements, look very elegant.

In particular, large jewelry in the form of a flower made of fabric or a bow has become a fashionable detail, and then the use of rhinestones or embroidery is not very appropriate. It is with one single decorative element that a wedding dress will look emphatically elegant and stylish.

Traditional white has many shades: snow white and ivory, pearl and creamy, silver and bluish.The desire for originality prompts designers to use almost all the colors of the spectrum in the creation of wedding collections.

More and more often, young brides give preference to dresses in gentle pastel colors, and ladies for whom marriage is not the first time - to wedding dresses of juicy colors (blue, turquoise, lilac, violet, cherry, etc.).

There are even black wedding dresses, but this is already an overkill, just to shock the audience. But the red color, which is considered festive by many peoples and was traditionally used for wedding dresses, returns to its position, especially if the wedding is held in compliance with old Russian rituals. Naturally, at such a wedding, only a closed bride dress is appropriate.

Closed-back wedding dresses can be considered one of the main trends in modern wedding fashion. They may differ from popular open models only with a closed top and sleeves made of lace, but this immediately gives them grace and elegant simplicity, and the very image of the bride - inimitable dignity and even regality.

Short silhouettes of closed wedding dresses and to the floor have become fashionable. And also tight-fitting or with a narrow bodice and a fluffy skirt.

The closed top and sleeves enhance the romance and hint at sensuality, making the look innocent and sexy at the same time.

The laconicism and severity of the silhouette, typical for models in retro style, only emphasize the dignity of the bride's figure and her impeccable taste. Such models are distinguished by a minimum of jewelry, sometimes an unusual neckline or a luxurious bow on the belt is enough to make the wedding dress look really chic.

The choice of a closed wedding dress testifies not only to the good taste of the bride - it is a choice of deep natures who do not want to expose their body or their soul in front of everyone, but strive to save themselves for the one and only - their betrothed.
