Closed-top wedding dresses - sophistication and nobility
The bride is the embodiment of purity and sophistication. If we look at the photographs of the past, we will see beautiful girls in luxurious wedding dresses. At that time, the rules of good form did not allow exposing large areas of the body, so dresses were mainly with a closed top. The trends of recent years bring us back to such a fashion, imbued with purity and elegance.
Styles and styles
A dress with a closed top allows you to choose any style, based on the characteristics of the figure. Whether it's the A-line, the Greek style, the curvy model or the "mermaid" - rest assured, you will be the star of the celebration!
In recent years, the “vintage” style has been gaining more and more confidence in the high fashion scene. Paul Smith, Vera Wong and Alexander McQueen are just a few of the designers presenting closed-top dresses in their collections. Deliberate sexuality fades into the background, giving way to chastity and modesty.
Now designers see sexuality not in short skirts and open shoulders, but in understated elegance. Closed-top outfits no longer look prim and outdated, but, on the contrary, become a symbol of good taste and luxury.
The choice of dress length leaves room for imagination: from maxi to midi or English length.
The highlight of a closed wedding dress
"There is nothing interesting in a dress with a closed top" - say many brides and are completely wrong! The piquancy and originality of this dress is as high as any avant-garde outfit!
Pros of a closed top wedding dress:
- emphasize the expressiveness of the eyes a hundredfold;
- focus on beautifully styled hair;
- shade off the tan;
- emphasize the whiteness of the skin.
A real highlight of such a dress can be a bare, but moderately, back or open wrists. Add a fluffy skirt to such a model and get a universal version that will suit literally any girl. After all, she will correct the figure by visually stretching the torso. It turned out to be the most luxurious bride!
Short
Short wedding dresses with a closed top look unusual and at the same time stylish. The combination of opposites forms a striking image based on the play of contrasts of the closed top and open legs.
Variations of closed neckline, arms and shoulders
Closed neckline
Closed neckline is the choice of girls who are accustomed to a strict style of dress. Why break the general concept of your style if you can emphasize it favorably? Such a neckline does not have to be made of classic and dense fabrics.
Tulle, lace or other weightless materials will do the job. They will give comfort to brides and create the illusion of mystery. And of course, such a dress is ideal for a wedding ceremony, when other models are not appropriate, and sometimes not acceptable.
For more ardent natures, you can find a compromise in this model. We choose openwork elements or whole inserts for the top. Such a solution will perfectly set off a fluffy skirt made of dense fabrics. And if you do not add openwork elements throughout the dress, the enthusiastic looks of the guests will be focused on the luxurious neckline, beautiful neck and loving eyes of the bride.
Such a decor is already complex in itself, so it is better to choose a round, barely noticeable neckline. But do not forget that such a cut in most cases shortens the neck a little.
It is better to complement the V-shaped traditional neckline with openwork or transparent straps.
A dense guipure corset and translucent lace will be the perfect combination. From a distance, a model of such a cutout will look like a heart and will become another, barely perceptible, symbol of your love.
It will not be superfluous to use additional elements in the decor of such a dress. But do not overload the outfit with different textures. It is enough to opt for a combination of three fabrics.
An example of a successful combination is the "Rybka" dress with a tulle and lace skirt, decorated with a flower made from the same fabrics. An openwork neckline can smoothly go into a long sleeve.
The integrity and thoughtfulness of such an image will not leave anyone indifferent. If your wedding takes place during the cold season, this is what you need! Complementing such an ensemble with a long train, we get a dress at the junction of the past and the modern.
Neckline illusion
Prefer modesty or choose a revealing neckline? Fashion designers have solved this problem by coming up with the latest style for a wedding dress, which creates the illusion of a neckline. Such a visual deception is created through the use of almost invisible fabrics when sewing, which can only be noticed up close.

Elegance and festivity are created by openwork or lace patterns that adorn the translucent fabric from which the top of the dress is made. To achieve the maximum effect of openness, choose the color of the fabric for the neckline according to your skin color: it can be beige, ivory or ivory.

Sleeveless model
Let's start with a rather bold option - a dress with a completely transparent neckline. This model should not have sleeves, since its goal is restrained sexuality.
If you make the back of the dress from the same material as the top, you can also create the illusion of an open back.In the registry office, such a dress will look like a stronghold of purity and innocence, and during photography and at a holiday, it will give the impression of a playful dress with a straight neckline.
Fully enclosed top
Remember Kate Middleton's gorgeous dress? For the royal wedding ceremony, a closed dress is laid.
Let's change this model a little, adding a light mesh fabric instead of dense lace, while leaving the sleeves closed. We will get an avant-garde solution to the traditions of the past. The smaller the cutout of such a model, the more modest it will look.
Let the lace that adorns the sleeves appear on the skirt of a dress or bodice, so our bride will become even more graceful and graceful. Sleeve length can be more than just long. A sleeve to the elbow, ankle, or even short sleeve will not bring any inconvenience to the bride and will look the best. Lace edging of this length on the sleeves can be repeated along the hem of the dress, which will favorably emphasize the choice of the bride.
Retro style
Often the sleeves of retro wedding dresses are made of the main material, and the neckline is translucent. Also, this style perfectly complements the closed top made of basic fabric, mesh or lace. There can be many options.
With transparent straps
The neckline may not be covered with a transparent fabric, so this dress can be attributed to the most daring look. But sheer straps add some modesty to the outfit and create the illusion of a V-neckline.
Asymmetrical top
In this model, tulle, lace or chiffon are gathered on one shoulder. It can be completed with a sleeve of the same material and an asymmetrical insert.
Decorations
It doesn't matter which model of dress with the illusion of a neckline you choose, you should not forget about its decor. Beads, rhinestones, precious stones or embroidery will perfectly complement any look. But it's better to forget about massive necklaces, earrings and bracelets.
But what if you want to wear them too? Choose a model with imitation necklaces and bracelets. This effect is created with lace, which is located on the neck and wrists.
Do not forget that everything is fine in moderation, and if the dress is richly decorated, it will be enough to choose only earrings to match the dress.
With closed shoulders, décolleté and neck
The ideal model for those with curvaceous shapes. To finally correct such a figure, choose a fluffy skirt to the knee. The short sleeve will playfully round the shape of the shoulder and show your beautiful arms, add a belt under the chest to reduce the waist and lengthen the legs. And, as if by magic, our bride becomes a slim, fit and charming girl!
With a closed neck and décolleté area
In such dresses, all the emphasis is on beautiful hands. It is worth giving preference to the American armhole and straight silhouette.
Both the corset and the long skirt repeat the outlines of the bride's figure, give integrity and completeness to the image, and grace and femininity to the bride. Such a dress immediately speaks of its owner: she knows her strengths, knows how to emphasize them and has an extraordinary taste.
The combination of a closed neck and an open back looks much sexier than many candid models, but at the same time shrouds the bride in a light haze of mystery.
With closed shoulders
Do you have charming wrists and graceful hands, but narrow shoulders? Take a closer look at the closed-shoulder model. A small sleeve will correct this small flaw.
And if you have already bought an open dress, just pick up a bolero or a cape for it and you will be guaranteed a magical effect!
Mystery and temptation, modesty and sexuality are inherent in a closed wedding dress. Choose your model and outshine everyone with your beauty at the main event!
My dress will have a closed top, but it will be made of lace. I think this is the most elegant option.
The closed top will certainly please the groom's parents :) But, seriously, this image is most appropriate for the celebration, especially if there is a wedding.
