Style Spotlight: Embrace Elegance with the Timeless Appeal of V-Necklines!

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.

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.

When choosing any of these beautiful long sleeve wedding dresses, you would have to consider two options. Either you can choose the same material for the wedding dress as for your clothes or you can choose something entirely different.

When you use the same material, it is best to leave out the lining and get some beautiful illusion sleeves. It would specifically look superb along with some netted material. When you want to choose apopular sleeve, you would have lots of options. In case the wedding dress has a single color, it is possible to use high contrast or get an appropriate shade for your sleeves.

You must also choose a belt or a bow or ribbon or some decorations that match the color on the dress’ main body.
