For your understanding, we have compiled a list of some of the most popular necklines of bridal dresses. Read on to know more.
V-Neck
This is one of the most basic necklines. This neckline has the neck dipping into a ‘V’ in the front and can be styled with all kinds of sleeves. V-neck is most suited for women with larger bust sizes. It is also ideal for women with a short or wider neck.
Plunge
This is a deeper version of the V-neck. It’s perfect if you wish to flaunt that cleavage! It has a slimming effect and gives an elongated effect on the torso. However, it looks best on women with small to medium bust size, as on women with larger bust size, it might just show a little too much!
Illusion
Now, this neckline is the one that you can choose if you have a large bustline and still want to flaunt a bit of your cleavage without it being too much! The illusion neckline comprises a sheer skin-toned layer joined to the gown with lace applique. So, it can make you look sexy without revealing too much!
Sweetheart
As the name suggests, this neckline resembles the top of a heart and is a sweetheart of necklines! This neckline looks amazingly romantic and is a great way to flaunt your curves and if you don’t have any, it creates them for you! Therefore, this neckline has been stealing hearts since ages! Sweetheart neckline goes well with any kind of silhouette and body type.
High Neck
This neckline mostly originates at the base of the neck, while some over it like a ‘turtle-neck’. If you think it could feel suffocating, let us tell you that it feels anything but that. It feels elegant and sophisticated as heck! It goes the best with sleeveless gowns as it accentuates your arms while also keeping the attention to your neck. High neck gowns with sheer details on the neck are such a thing right now!
Strapless
This one is sensual! You might have guessed from the name itself, there is no strap involved, anywhere! The neckline fits across your chest and back in one straight line and is figure-flattering for any body type. It flaunts your collarbones and brings your decolletage into the limelight in the sexiest manner!
Bateau/Boatneck
Remember Meghan Markle’s stunning wedding dress? That’s bateau for you. Bateau is a relatively higher neck and skims across your collarbone. This neckline does not need any kind of necklace, you team it up with minimal but elegant looking diamonds and a messy bun.
One-shoulder
This neckline is contemporary and adventurous in one go. An asymmetric neckline, it comprises just one strap crossing over your shoulder while the other shoulder is bare. Remember Elizabeth Taylor in Cleopatra? Yeah, so that’s how it makes you feel!
Off-the-shoulder
As the name implies, it’s one step ahead of one-shoulder. In this neckline, straps or sleeves of any length adorn your arms from just below your shoulders. Your neck, collarbone, upper chest, and back are exposed for a smokin’ hot look! This neckline with a choker necklace - our favorite!
Halter
Uber chic, this neckline has straps from both sides hugging your neck from behind. This neckline brings your shoulders, naked back, and arms into the limelight. We absolutely love the style and vibe of this neckline, totally made for the confident modern woman. This neckline is ideal if you have a large bustline as it covers it strategically.
