Wedding Dresses Stand Out Silhouettes

Wedding Dresses Stand Out Silhouettes

Slim / Column

The slim or column style of silhouette is one that is meant specifically for very svelte and slender figures. With its form fitting design, these dresses use the bride natural curves to indicate the waistline, rather than relying on artificial means. Column dresses look best on slim brides of average height, as their trim lines can alternatively emphasize height.

Try on column wedding gowns with silk satin fabric and a strapless neckline. These gowns look amazing when adorned with a lovely Oakley Sunglasses, nature-inspired hand appliqu floral design in Venice Lace Air Max 2012, which covers the entire bodice and continues down the length of both sides of the dress. A truly glamorous column dress fits closely throughout, but flares out suddenly at the bottom for an added charming element.

Dropped Waist / Basque

The revered Basque silhouette is another very forgiving and nearly universally flattering dress type. It is marked by a fitted bodice ending at a waistline that falls below the natural waist. This type of gown has an elongating effect and can help suggest curves for brides with a fuller waist.

If this type of gown appeals to you, consider trying on a lovely silk satin number that features multiple seams on the bodice and is decked with a sparkling line of crystals and rhinestones just below the chest and just before the full gown begins to flare at the hip line.
