On your wedding day, you want a gown that is a visual representation of your unique sense of style.

WEDDING DRESS DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
Dress Cut
The cut of a wedding dress refers to the shape or style of a garment, and there are many different types of popular wedding dress styles. With a universally flattering silhouette, an A-line cut is suitable for virtually any body type. Strapless gowns with a sweetheart neckline are also a classic cut with timeless appeal. Other popular wedding dress cuts include:
  • Ballgown
  • Mermaid
  • Sheath
  • Off-the-shoulders
  • Back-baring styles
Dress Length
The length of your gown is another important element that must be considered when designing a gown, and it is important to choose a dress length that flatters both the style of the dress and your body type. For example, if you are on the petite side, then the length and embellishments of a ballgown style dress may be overwhelming. Though popular styles have changed throughout the years, floor-length, tea-length, and knee-length gowns are always on-trend.

 

Waistline 

Similar to how the cut of a dress defines its overall shape and silhouette, the waistline of a wedding gown is a key component of how it fits a bride. Featuring a fitted bodice that ends right under the bust and a loose-fitting skirt, empire waistlines give a high-waisted appearance that many brides love. Other brides may prefer a princess seam for their simple elegance, or a V- or U-shaped waistline for figure-flattering visual interest. Our wedding dress designer is happy to review several types of appealing waistlines with you during your appointment.

Neckline

The right neckline can take an average-looking dress and transform it into a show-stopping gown. While it is important to consider the cut of the dress when selecting a neckline, it is also important to consider your figure. For example, a strapless gown will accentuate your shoulders and collarbones, a V-neck will put an emphasis on your bustline, and a Bateau neckline (boat neck) is great for small-breasted women. If you have a specific neckline in mind, our designer is happy to speak with you about how to best incorporate it into your wedding dress design.
