Selecting the Perfect Neckline

April 13, 2022

Take the Plunge!  Tips to selecting the perfect neckline most suited to your body type.

Sweetheart Neckline

Sweetheart

This heart shaped strapless look is a perfect option for fuller chested brides as it accentuates the décolletage. Shorter brides look good in this heart shape as it makes the torso appear longer. 

Halter Neckline

Halter

The halter wraps around the neck exposing a bride’s shoulders. This look is best on taller brides who have broader shoulders.

V-Neck Neckline

V-Neck

The V-neckline can range from a simple, modest V shape sitting just below the collarbone to a deep, sexy plunge. This look is best for the average busted girl. The larger the chest, the smaller the V.

Off-the-Shoulder Neckline

Off-the-Shoulder

An off the shoulder gown creates the perfect silhouette to flatter collarbones, shoulders, and upper arms. This neckline is especially attractive on medium to full chested women.

Illusion Neckline

Illusion

The illusion neckline features a strapless gown with either a sweetheart, straight or curved neckline with a sheer fabric covering the décolletage to the neck. Most illusions form a halter or bateau line, but give the appearance of a strapless. 

Bateau Neckline

Bateau

The gentle curve of the bateau neck follows the shape of the collarbone almost to the shoulders. This shape is especially good for petite brides with lovely collarbones.
