The Portrait
Slightly scooped with extra material framing the neckline.

The One-Shoulder
An asymmetrical neckline where one shoulder is covered and the other is bare.

The Halter
Wraps around the neck; generally leaves arms and back bare.

The Off-the-Shoulder
Fits just below the shoulders with long or short sleeves.

The Bateau
Follows the curve of the collarbone from shoulder to shoulder. Also called "Sabrina."

The Strapless
Neckline goes straight across the body just above the bust.

The Square
Straps and straight neckline create a square shape.

The V-Neck
Drops from shoulders to collarbone in a "V".

The Scoop
A deep U-shaped neckline.

The T-Shirt or Jewel
A round neckline resembling that of a T-shirt.

The Sweetheart
Heart-shaped neckline.

The sweetheart is the sweetest look for a princess!

Wedding Dress Silhouettes

My favorite dress style is the ball gown. Perfect for a princess in a fairy tale!

*Ballgown*
Full skirt with a fitted bodice and waist. Best for: Pear shapes, full figures, and tall, slim builds.


Dropped
Dips below the natural waistline and sits on the hips. Best for: Hourglass figures.

Empire Waist
Small, scooped bodice and high waistline with a slender skirt. Best for: Figures with thick waists.

Mermaid
Fitted to the knee, then flared. Best for: Slim, tall builds.
I dislike this silhouette the most! eehhh!


Sheath
Narrow, body-conscious style that hugs the bust, waist, and hips. Best for: Slim, tall builds and petite figures.

Basque
Dips below the natural waistline and forms a "V". Best for: Pear shapes.
