We see so much variety in wedding dresses. While we are amazed with the overall effect in most cases, some particular features strike a chord, and become our all-time favorites. One such feature is the V-neckline.
This neckline has been the rage on runways, with variations of subtle, demure soft V’s to deep and daring low cut V-necklines. The beauty of this trend is in how versatile it is. If you aren’t uncomfortable sporting a plunging V, you can still opt for a more minor dip and still look great. Every woman can find a V-neckline that flatters her shape and emphasizes her figure.
A deep V is dramatic and adds personality to a soft, romantic gown. It shows off your bold edge, even when the dress is floral lace gown that is very feminine. A wide-cut V exposes your collarbone, allowing you to show off your slender neck. The general shape of this pattern elongates your upper body, and makes you look longer and leaner.
V-necklines go beautifully with most gown silhouettes and sleeve patterns. They add style to a full-sleeved dress, and add a sexy and dramatic edge to a cap-sleeved gown.
This year, we’ve seen plenty of V-necklines in weddings, bridesmaids, mother-of-the-bride, and evening gowns. Let us take a look at our favourite from each category.
Here is an example of a stylish sparkling wedding gown where the soft V-neckline draws focus to the upper body. This Mori Lee 2715 from the Spring collection is a spectacular gown with scintillating elements running all over the bodice and thinning into floral applique clusters towards the skirt. The mermaid silhouette is glamorous, and the magnificent waistband and stylish V-neckline add the finishing touches to the stunning gown, which is fit for a modern bride.
The Sophia Tolli Spring collection brings us this fairy tale gown with a stunning wide V-neckline in sheer fabric over a sweetheart bodice. It dips slightly in the center, allowing a subtle display of cleavage and draws focus to well-toned collar bones and facial features. The crystal beading that runs across it sparkles and adds texture and finesse to the dainty floral lace appliques over the body. The fit and flare tulle skirt has a dreamy, delicate finish.
Now, look at this sophisticated red bridesmaid dress sporting a modest V-neckline. The chiffon beauty in the Mori Lee Bridesmaids Fall collection has the two sections crisscrossing at the center and forming a V-neckline that balances out an empire waist. The ruffles that flow down the center add an element of drama and make this gown a perfectly unique piece.
This navy mother-of-the-bride dress from the Mori Lee Spring collection beautifully blends a V-neckline with sheer butterfly sleeves to create a gorgeous dress in which mom will look glamorous. The elegant design has asymmetrical ruchings crisscrossed at the centre to form a snug V-neckline that drops into a well-defined waistband, adding extra pizzazz.
