Guide to Wedding Dress Necklines
January 4th, 2012
Your wedding dress neckline is an important aspect to consider when choosing a dress. When you walk down that aisle, the first thing your family and friends would notice is your face and dcolletage. But with so many necklines to choose from, how do you know you’ve chosen the right one? To help you with that, here is a basic guide to wedding dress necklines:
Scoop
This is similar to a V-neckline except that it’s U-shaped. The scoop neckline is lower than the round neckline, making it a bit more revealing than the latter. This neckline is perfect for any body type. Depending on how comfortable you are, you can choose to have a plunging neckline or one that’s a little higher.
High Collar
The high collar neckline covers the chest. It can either end just below the neck or extend up the neck. One of the most famous wedding dresses was Grace Kelly’s high-collared, long-sleeved lace wedding dress. This neckline also complements all lengths of sleeves, which makes it perfect for any body type.
Sweetheart
This neckline forms a heart shape at the bust line, which is flattering on almost all brides. If you are well endowed, this neckline will further accentuate your cleavage without being too revealing.
Halter Top
The halter-top is perfect for women who have toned upper arms. Featuring two straps that connect from the bodice to the back of the neck, this neckline is perfect for tall, slim women. If you have narrow shoulders and a large bust, you might not want to choose this neckline.
V-Neck
The V-neck neckline is flattering for almost any bride. Depending on how much skin you want to expose, the neckline’s depth can either be low or plunging. Brides who are large or small breasted can wear this neckline. If you are self-conscious about your arms, you can choose a V-neck long-sleeved dress. If you have slender arms, choose a V-neck sleeveless dress.
Off the Shoulder
This is an open neckline that hangs off the shoulders, enhancing your collarbone and beautiful shoulders. Brides who are well endowed or who are pear shaped will definitely look great on an off the shoulder wedding dress.
Strapless
This neckline, being strapless, accentuates your dcolletage. A strapless dress enhances your beautiful shoulders and collarbones. This neckline works well with well endowed brides. If you are small chested, a V-neck or scoop neck would be a better choice.
