Wong and Menosky explain that the seams typically “run from the bust to the waist, or even to the hem, creating a fitted yet elongated silhouette.”</li><span class="mntl-sc-block-adslot mntl-sc-block-adslot-inline"></span> <li><strong>Illusion</strong>: An illusion bodice is made of “solid fabrics with added sheer fabric on top or in the back that’s usually adorned with lace or embellishments,” explains Wen.</li> </ul> <div id="mntl-sc-block_1-0-14" class="comp u-no-article-width-restriction mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-adslot mntl-sc-block-adslot mntl-block"></div> <p id="mntl-sc-block_1-0-15" class="comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html"> What's more, no matter the exact design, all bodices are composed of several layers, including lining, boning, darts, and closures. To further break it down, the lining is “the most inner layer of the dress that covers the inside of the bodice and makes the dress not sheer. It can hide seam lines and it’s usually <a href="https://www.brides.com/story/wedding-dress-fabric-guide" data-component="link" data-source="inlineLink" data-type="internalLink" data-ordinal="1">lightweight and breathable fabrics</a> such as polyester or silk,” explain Wong and Menosky. As for boning and darts, these elements are placed inside a bodice to create structure. Boning refers to the rigid strips or wires that are sewn into a bodice in a vertical direction, which Wen says “prevents the fabric from wrinkling or collapsing and helps maintain the shape of the bodice.” Similarly, darts are triangular folds that are placed around the bust area as a way to contour the bodice to your body’s curves. </p> <div id="mntl-sc-block_1-0-16" class="comp u-no-article-width-restriction mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-adslot mntl-sc-block-adslot mntl-block"></div> <p id="mntl-sc-block_1-0-17" class="comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html"> Lastly, closures—zippers, hooks and eyes, buttons, and corset lacing—are included on a bodice to hold a dress in place (and keep the top of your gown from falling down). Though Wen notes that buttons are mainly used for decorative purposes, a hook and eye will reinforce stability, and zippers offer a seamless look. For the most adjustable closure, she recommends corset lacing. </p> <div id="mntl-sc-block_1-0-18" class="comp u-no-article-width-restriction mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-adslot mntl-sc-block-adslot mntl-block"></div> <figure id="mntl-sc-block_1-0-19" class="comp mntl-sc-block-image mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-image mntl-sc-block-universal-image figure-portrait figure-high-res"> <div class="figure-media"> <div class="img-placeholder" style="padding-bottom:150.0%;"> <img data-src="https://www.brides.com/thmb/tGAY5WCT0dNt9KZqahQWC93YCUU=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)/jenniferandscott-39-d24858e82a684eb3907786e43ae4a751.jpg" width="4000" height="6000" data-srcset="https://www.brides.com/thmb/73-TIJohRB-XjMBBcm9Rh3reHlE=/750x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)/jenniferandscott-39-d24858e82a684eb3907786e43ae4a751.jpg 750w" data-sizes="750px" alt="bride wearing a butterfly motif wedding dress" class="lazyload universal-image__image" data-expand="300" id=mntl-sc-block-image_1-0-1 data-click-tracked="true" data-tracking-container="true" data-img-lightbox="false" /> <noscript> <img src="https://www.brides.com/thmb/tGAY5WCT0dNt9KZqahQWC93YCUU=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)/jenniferandscott-39-d24858e82a684eb3907786e43ae4a751.jpg" width="4000" height="6000" class="img--noscript universal-image__image" srcset="https://www.brides.com/thmb/73-TIJohRB-XjMBBcm9Rh3reHlE=/750x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)/jenniferandscott-39-d24858e82a684eb3907786e43ae4a751.jpg 750w" sizes="750px" alt="bride wearing a butterfly motif wedding dress" /> </noscript> </div> </div> <figcaption id="mntl-figure-caption_1-0-1" class="comp mntl-figure-caption figure-article-caption"> <span class="figure-article-caption-owner"><p>Photo by <a href="https://www.abbyjiu.com/" data-component="link" data-source="inlineLink" data-type="externalLink" data-ordinal="1" rel="nofollow">Abby Jiu Photography</a></p></span> </figcaption> </figure> <span class="heading-toc" id="toc-neckline"></span> <h2 id="mntl-sc-block_1-0-20" class="comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading"> <span class="mntl-sc-block-heading__text"> Neckline </span> </h2> <p id="mntl-sc-block_1-0-21" class="comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html"> A <a href="https://www.brides.com/wedding-dress-necklines-guide-4799128" data-component="link" data-source="inlineLink" data-type="internalLink" data-ordinal="1">neckline</a> sets the tone for your overall aesthetic, as it "impacts the ‘sight lines’ of the wedding dress," share Wong and Menosky.

While designs can vary per gown, there are four main types of bodices most designers use during the construction of a wedding dress. </p> <div id="mntl-sc-block_1-0-12" class="comp u-no-article-width-restriction mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-adslot mntl-sc-block-adslot mntl-block"></div> <ul id="mntl-sc-block_1-0-13" class="comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html"> <li><strong>Corset</strong>: A <a href="https://www.brides.com/corset-wedding-dresses-5084983" data-component="link" data-source="inlineLink" data-type="internalLink" data-ordinal="1">corset bodice</a> is characterized by its built-in boning and cups. “The structured, boned design extends from the bust to the waist or hips and provides ample support and shaping to the torso,” explain Tina Wong and Alyssa Menosky of Grace + Ivory.</li> <li><strong>V-Neck</strong>: A V-neck bodice has a V-shaped neckline with straps, which Wen says “elongates the torso, offering a streamlined silhouette.”</li> <li><strong>Princess Seam</strong>: A princess-seam bodice has long seams that are meant to add shape to the top portion of a wedding dress. Wong and Menosky explain that the seams typically “run from the bust to the waist, or even to the hem, creating a fitted yet elongated silhouette.”</li><span class="mntl-sc-block-adslot mntl-sc-block-adslot-inline"></span> <li><strong>Illusion</strong>: An illusion bodice is made of “solid fabrics with added sheer fabric on top or in the back that’s usually adorned with lace or embellishments,” explains Wen.</li> </ul> <div id="mntl-sc-block_1-0-14" class="comp u-no-article-width-restriction mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-adslot mntl-sc-block-adslot mntl-block"></div> <p id="mntl-sc-block_1-0-15" class="comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html"> What's more, no matter the exact design, all bodices are composed of several layers, including lining, boning, darts, and closures. To further break it down, the lining is “the most inner layer of the dress that covers the inside of the bodice and makes the dress not sheer. It can hide seam lines and it’s usually <a href="https://www.brides.com/story/wedding-dress-fabric-guide" data-component="link" data-source="inlineLink" data-type="internalLink" data-ordinal="1">lightweight and breathable fabrics</a> such as polyester or silk,” explain Wong and Menosky. As for boning and darts, these elements are placed inside a bodice to create structure. Boning refers to the rigid strips or wires that are sewn into a bodice in a vertical direction, which Wen says “prevents the fabric from wrinkling or collapsing and helps maintain the shape of the bodice.” Similarly, darts are triangular folds that are placed around the bust area as a way to contour the bodice to your body’s curves. </p> <div id="mntl-sc-block_1-0-16" class="comp u-no-article-width-restriction mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-adslot mntl-sc-block-adslot mntl-block"></div> <p id="mntl-sc-block_1-0-17" class="comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html"> Lastly, closures—zippers, hooks and eyes, buttons, and corset lacing—are included on a bodice to hold a dress in place (and keep the top of your gown from falling down). Though Wen notes that buttons are mainly used for decorative purposes, a hook and eye will reinforce stability, and zippers offer a seamless look. For the most adjustable closure, she recommends corset lacing. </p> <div id="mntl-sc-block_1-0-18" class="comp u-no-article-width-restriction mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-adslot mntl-sc-block-adslot mntl-block"></div> <figure id="mntl-sc-block_1-0-19" class="comp mntl-sc-block-image mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-image mntl-sc-block-universal-image figure-portrait figure-high-res"> <div class="figure-media"> <div class="img-placeholder" style="padding-bottom:150.0%;"> <img data-src="https://www.brides.com/thmb/tGAY5WCT0dNt9KZqahQWC93YCUU=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)/jenniferandscott-39-d24858e82a684eb3907786e43ae4a751.jpg" width="4000" height="6000" data-srcset="https://www.brides.com/thmb/73-TIJohRB-XjMBBcm9Rh3reHlE=/750x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)/jenniferandscott-39-d24858e82a684eb3907786e43ae4a751.jpg 750w" data-sizes="750px" alt="bride wearing a butterfly motif wedding dress" class="lazyload universal-image__image" data-expand="300" id=mntl-sc-block-image_1-0-1 data-click-tracked="true" data-tracking-container="true" data-img-lightbox="false" /> <noscript> <img src="https://www.brides.com/thmb/tGAY5WCT0dNt9KZqahQWC93YCUU=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)/jenniferandscott-39-d24858e82a684eb3907786e43ae4a751.jpg" width="4000" height="6000" class="img--noscript universal-image__image" srcset="https://www.brides.com/thmb/73-TIJohRB-XjMBBcm9Rh3reHlE=/750x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)/jenniferandscott-39-d24858e82a684eb3907786e43ae4a751.jpg 750w" sizes="750px" alt="bride wearing a butterfly motif wedding dress" /> </noscript> </div> </div> <figcaption id="mntl-figure-caption_1-0-1" class="comp mntl-figure-caption figure-article-caption"> <span class="figure-article-caption-owner"><p>Photo by <a href="https://www.abbyjiu.com/" data-component="link" data-source="inlineLink" data-type="externalLink" data-ordinal="1" rel="nofollow">Abby Jiu Photography</a></p></span> </figcaption> </figure> <span class="heading-toc" id="toc-neckline"></span> <h2 id="mntl-sc-block_1-0-20" class="comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading"> <span class="mntl-sc-block-heading__text"> Neckline </span> </h2> <p id="mntl-sc-block_1-0-21" class="comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html"> A <a href="https://www.brides.com/wedding-dress-necklines-guide-4799128" data-component="link" data-source="inlineLink" data-type="internalLink" data-ordinal="1">neckline</a> sets the tone for your overall aesthetic, as it "impacts the ‘sight lines’ of the wedding dress," share Wong and Menosky.

says Wen.</li> </ul> <div id="mntl-sc-block_1-0-40" class="comp u-no-article-width-restriction mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-adslot mntl-sc-block-adslot mntl-block"></div> <figure id="mntl-sc-block_1-0-41" class="comp mntl-sc-block-image mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-image mntl-sc-block-universal-image figure-portrait figure-high-res"> <div class="figure-media"> <div class="img-placeholder" style="padding-bottom:134.3%;"> <img data-src="https://www.brides.com/thmb/dpP9irFjzjFZagyPZlXDimPVXac=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)/MonikaCalum-LizAndolinaPhotography-1109-7dd385a9ed83446794dc555ba0859b14.jpg" width="2747" height="3690" data-srcset="https://www.brides.com/thmb/glivSBZFpuD8CIj0pWQFGQ5BEgE=/750x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)/MonikaCalum-LizAndolinaPhotography-1109-7dd385a9ed83446794dc555ba0859b14.jpg 750w" data-sizes="750px" alt="bride wearing a vivienne westwood wedding dress" class="lazyload universal-image__image" data-expand="300" id=mntl-sc-block-image_1-0-4 data-click-tracked="true" data-tracking-container="true" data-img-lightbox="false" /> <noscript> <img src="https://www.brides.com/thmb/dpP9irFjzjFZagyPZlXDimPVXac=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)/MonikaCalum-LizAndolinaPhotography-1109-7dd385a9ed83446794dc555ba0859b14.jpg" width="2747" height="3690" class="img--noscript universal-image__image" srcset="https://www.brides.com/thmb/glivSBZFpuD8CIj0pWQFGQ5BEgE=/750x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)/MonikaCalum-LizAndolinaPhotography-1109-7dd385a9ed83446794dc555ba0859b14.jpg 750w" sizes="750px" alt="bride wearing a vivienne westwood wedding dress" /> </noscript> </div> </div> <figcaption id="mntl-figure-caption_1-0-4" class="comp mntl-figure-caption figure-article-caption"> <span class="figure-article-caption-owner"><p>Photo by <a href="https://lizandolina.com/" data-component="link" data-source="inlineLink" data-type="externalLink" data-ordinal="1" rel="nofollow">Liz Andolina</a></p></span> </figcaption> </figure> <span class="heading-toc" id="toc-waistline"></span> <h2 id="mntl-sc-block_1-0-42" class="comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading"> <span class="mntl-sc-block-heading__text"> Waistline </span> </h2> <p id="mntl-sc-block_1-0-43" class="comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html"> "The <a href="https://www.brides.com/empire-waist-wedding-dresses-5221425" data-component="link" data-source="inlineLink" data-type="internalLink" data-ordinal="1">waistline</a> of a wedding dress refers to the point where the bodice meets the skirt, typically located at the natural waist,” explains Wen. “The waistline is usually defined, and [is the] central focal point of the overall design.” Wong and Menosky also note that the waistline “helps define the overall silhouette of the dress,” so you’ll want to pick a style that accentuates your desired proportions.&nbsp;

While designs can vary per gown, there are four main types of bodices most designers use during the construction of a wedding dress. </p> <div id="mntl-sc-block_1-0-12" class="comp u-no-article-width-restriction mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-adslot mntl-sc-block-adslot mntl-block"></div> <ul id="mntl-sc-block_1-0-13" class="comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html"> <li><strong>Corset</strong>: A <a href="https://www.brides.com/corset-wedding-dresses-5084983" data-component="link" data-source="inlineLink" data-type="internalLink" data-ordinal="1">corset bodice</a> is characterized by its built-in boning and cups. “The structured, boned design extends from the bust to the waist or hips and provides ample support and shaping to the torso,” explain Tina Wong and Alyssa Menosky of Grace + Ivory.</li> <li><strong>V-Neck</strong>: A V-neck bodice has a V-shaped neckline with straps, which Wen says “elongates the torso, offering a streamlined silhouette.”</li> <li><strong>Princess Seam</strong>: A princess-seam bodice has long seams that are meant to add shape to the top portion of a wedding dress. Wong and Menosky explain that the seams typically “run from the bust to the waist, or even to the hem, creating a fitted yet elongated silhouette.”</li><span class="mntl-sc-block-adslot mntl-sc-block-adslot-inline"></span> <li><strong>Illusion</strong>: An illusion bodice is made of “solid fabrics with added sheer fabric on top or in the back that’s usually adorned with lace or embellishments,” explains Wen.</li> </ul> <div id="mntl-sc-block_1-0-14" class="comp u-no-article-width-restriction mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-adslot mntl-sc-block-adslot mntl-block"></div> <p id="mntl-sc-block_1-0-15" class="comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html"> What's more, no matter the exact design, all bodices are composed of several layers, including lining, boning, darts, and closures. To further break it down, the lining is “the most inner layer of the dress that covers the inside of the bodice and makes the dress not sheer. It can hide seam lines and it’s usually <a href="https://www.brides.com/story/wedding-dress-fabric-guide" data-component="link" data-source="inlineLink" data-type="internalLink" data-ordinal="1">lightweight and breathable fabrics</a> such as polyester or silk,” explain Wong and Menosky. As for boning and darts, these elements are placed inside a bodice to create structure. Boning refers to the rigid strips or wires that are sewn into a bodice in a vertical direction, which Wen says “prevents the fabric from wrinkling or collapsing and helps maintain the shape of the bodice.” Similarly, darts are triangular folds that are placed around the bust area as a way to contour the bodice to your body’s curves. </p> <div id="mntl-sc-block_1-0-16" class="comp u-no-article-width-restriction mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-adslot mntl-sc-block-adslot mntl-block"></div> <p id="mntl-sc-block_1-0-17" class="comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html"> Lastly, closures—zippers, hooks and eyes, buttons, and corset lacing—are included on a bodice to hold a dress in place (and keep the top of your gown from falling down). Though Wen notes that buttons are mainly used for decorative purposes, a hook and eye will reinforce stability, and zippers offer a seamless look. For the most adjustable closure, she recommends corset lacing. </p> <div id="mntl-sc-block_1-0-18" class="comp u-no-article-width-restriction mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-adslot mntl-sc-block-adslot mntl-block"></div> <figure id="mntl-sc-block_1-0-19" class="comp mntl-sc-block-image mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-image mntl-sc-block-universal-image figure-portrait figure-high-res"> <div class="figure-media"> <div class="img-placeholder" style="padding-bottom:150.0%;"> <img data-src="https://www.brides.com/thmb/tGAY5WCT0dNt9KZqahQWC93YCUU=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)/jenniferandscott-39-d24858e82a684eb3907786e43ae4a751.jpg" width="4000" height="6000" data-srcset="https://www.brides.com/thmb/73-TIJohRB-XjMBBcm9Rh3reHlE=/750x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)/jenniferandscott-39-d24858e82a684eb3907786e43ae4a751.jpg 750w" data-sizes="750px" alt="bride wearing a butterfly motif wedding dress" class="lazyload universal-image__image" data-expand="300" id=mntl-sc-block-image_1-0-1 data-click-tracked="true" data-tracking-container="true" data-img-lightbox="false" /> <noscript> <img src="https://www.brides.com/thmb/tGAY5WCT0dNt9KZqahQWC93YCUU=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)/jenniferandscott-39-d24858e82a684eb3907786e43ae4a751.jpg" width="4000" height="6000" class="img--noscript universal-image__image" srcset="https://www.brides.com/thmb/73-TIJohRB-XjMBBcm9Rh3reHlE=/750x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)/jenniferandscott-39-d24858e82a684eb3907786e43ae4a751.jpg 750w" sizes="750px" alt="bride wearing a butterfly motif wedding dress" /> </noscript> </div> </div> <figcaption id="mntl-figure-caption_1-0-1" class="comp mntl-figure-caption figure-article-caption"> <span class="figure-article-caption-owner"><p>Photo by <a href="https://www.abbyjiu.com/" data-component="link" data-source="inlineLink" data-type="externalLink" data-ordinal="1" rel="nofollow">Abby Jiu Photography</a></p></span> </figcaption> </figure> <span class="heading-toc" id="toc-neckline"></span> <h2 id="mntl-sc-block_1-0-20" class="comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading"> <span class="mntl-sc-block-heading__text"> Neckline </span> </h2> <p id="mntl-sc-block_1-0-21" class="comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html"> A <a href="https://www.brides.com/wedding-dress-necklines-guide-4799128" data-component="link" data-source="inlineLink" data-type="internalLink" data-ordinal="1">neckline</a> sets the tone for your overall aesthetic, as it "impacts the ‘sight lines’ of the wedding dress," share Wong and Menosky.

While designs can vary per gown, there are four main types of bodices most designers use during the construction of a wedding dress. </p> <div id="mntl-sc-block_1-0-12" class="comp u-no-article-width-restriction mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-adslot mntl-sc-block-adslot mntl-block"></div> <ul id="mntl-sc-block_1-0-13" class="comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html"> <li><strong>Corset</strong>: A <a href="https://www.brides.com/corset-wedding-dresses-5084983" data-component="link" data-source="inlineLink" data-type="internalLink" data-ordinal="1">corset bodice</a> is characterized by its built-in boning and cups. “The structured, boned design extends from the bust to the waist or hips and provides ample support and shaping to the torso,” explain Tina Wong and Alyssa Menosky of Grace + Ivory.</li> <li><strong>V-Neck</strong>: A V-neck bodice has a V-shaped neckline with straps, which Wen says “elongates the torso, offering a streamlined silhouette.”</li> <li><strong>Princess Seam</strong>: A princess-seam bodice has long seams that are meant to add shape to the top portion of a wedding dress. Wong and Menosky explain that the seams typically “run from the bust to the waist, or even to the hem, creating a fitted yet elongated silhouette.”</li><span class="mntl-sc-block-adslot mntl-sc-block-adslot-inline"></span> <li><strong>Illusion</strong>: An illusion bodice is made of “solid fabrics with added sheer fabric on top or in the back that’s usually adorned with lace or embellishments,” explains Wen.</li> </ul> <div id="mntl-sc-block_1-0-14" class="comp u-no-article-width-restriction mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-adslot mntl-sc-block-adslot mntl-block"></div> <p id="mntl-sc-block_1-0-15" class="comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html"> What's more, no matter the exact design, all bodices are composed of several layers, including lining, boning, darts, and closures. To further break it down, the lining is “the most inner layer of the dress that covers the inside of the bodice and makes the dress not sheer. It can hide seam lines and it’s usually <a href="https://www.brides.com/story/wedding-dress-fabric-guide" data-component="link" data-source="inlineLink" data-type="internalLink" data-ordinal="1">lightweight and breathable fabrics</a> such as polyester or silk,” explain Wong and Menosky. As for boning and darts, these elements are placed inside a bodice to create structure. Boning refers to the rigid strips or wires that are sewn into a bodice in a vertical direction, which Wen says “prevents the fabric from wrinkling or collapsing and helps maintain the shape of the bodice.” Similarly, darts are triangular folds that are placed around the bust area as a way to contour the bodice to your body’s curves. </p> <div id="mntl-sc-block_1-0-16" class="comp u-no-article-width-restriction mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-adslot mntl-sc-block-adslot mntl-block"></div> <p id="mntl-sc-block_1-0-17" class="comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html"> Lastly, closures—zippers, hooks and eyes, buttons, and corset lacing—are included on a bodice to hold a dress in place (and keep the top of your gown from falling down). Though Wen notes that buttons are mainly used for decorative purposes, a hook and eye will reinforce stability, and zippers offer a seamless look. For the most adjustable closure, she recommends corset lacing. </p> <div id="mntl-sc-block_1-0-18" class="comp u-no-article-width-restriction mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-adslot mntl-sc-block-adslot mntl-block"></div> <figure id="mntl-sc-block_1-0-19" class="comp mntl-sc-block-image mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-image mntl-sc-block-universal-image figure-portrait figure-high-res"> <div class="figure-media"> <div class="img-placeholder" style="padding-bottom:150.0%;"> <img data-src="https://www.brides.com/thmb/tGAY5WCT0dNt9KZqahQWC93YCUU=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)/jenniferandscott-39-d24858e82a684eb3907786e43ae4a751.jpg" width="4000" height="6000" data-srcset="https://www.brides.com/thmb/73-TIJohRB-XjMBBcm9Rh3reHlE=/750x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)/jenniferandscott-39-d24858e82a684eb3907786e43ae4a751.jpg 750w" data-sizes="750px" alt="bride wearing a butterfly motif wedding dress" class="lazyload universal-image__image" data-expand="300" id=mntl-sc-block-image_1-0-1 data-click-tracked="true" data-tracking-container="true" data-img-lightbox="false" /> <noscript> <img src="https://www.brides.com/thmb/tGAY5WCT0dNt9KZqahQWC93YCUU=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)/jenniferandscott-39-d24858e82a684eb3907786e43ae4a751.jpg" width="4000" height="6000" class="img--noscript universal-image__image" srcset="https://www.brides.com/thmb/73-TIJohRB-XjMBBcm9Rh3reHlE=/750x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)/jenniferandscott-39-d24858e82a684eb3907786e43ae4a751.jpg 750w" sizes="750px" alt="bride wearing a butterfly motif wedding dress" /> </noscript> </div> </div> <figcaption id="mntl-figure-caption_1-0-1" class="comp mntl-figure-caption figure-article-caption"> <span class="figure-article-caption-owner"><p>Photo by <a href="https://www.abbyjiu.com/" data-component="link" data-source="inlineLink" data-type="externalLink" data-ordinal="1" rel="nofollow">Abby Jiu Photography</a></p></span> </figcaption> </figure> <span class="heading-toc" id="toc-neckline"></span> <h2 id="mntl-sc-block_1-0-20" class="comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading"> <span class="mntl-sc-block-heading__text"> Neckline </span> </h2> <p id="mntl-sc-block_1-0-21" class="comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html"> A <a href="https://www.brides.com/wedding-dress-necklines-guide-4799128" data-component="link" data-source="inlineLink" data-type="internalLink" data-ordinal="1">neckline</a> sets the tone for your overall aesthetic, as it "impacts the ‘sight lines’ of the wedding dress," share Wong and Menosky.

They are typically incorporated into a dress to accentuate a bride&#39;s neckline and shoulders.</li><li><strong>Illusion</strong>: “Illusion sleeves are usually long or [three-quarter length] and are made of sheer fabric adorned with lace or embellishments, offering coverage while maintaining a delicate look,” notes Wen. </li><span class="mntl-sc-block-adslot mntl-sc-block-adslot-inline"></span><li><strong>Bishop</strong>: Bishop sleeves “gather at the wrist, creating a voluminous and billowy effect,” share Wong and Menosky. “This sleeve style adds a touch of drama, making it ideal for vintage-inspired or bohemian wedding themes.”</li> </ul> <div id="mntl-sc-block_1-0-34" class="comp u-no-article-width-restriction mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-adslot mntl-sc-block-adslot mntl-block"></div> <figure id="mntl-sc-block_1-0-35" class="comp mntl-sc-block-image mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-image mntl-sc-block-universal-image figure-portrait figure-high-res"> <div class="figure-media"> <div class="img-placeholder" style="padding-bottom:136.5%;"> <img data-src="https://www.brides.com/thmb/gqi0eWRkLw_2pJ0cMMI_6nvpTT4=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)/Mo_Davis_Photography_Tim_Agneta_Nola40095-fd303cc532b341cfb0d819614af66820.jpg" width="1172" height="1600" data-srcset="https://www.brides.com/thmb/yTOMdQeOd34oIrXsTA_702inHoQ=/750x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)/Mo_Davis_Photography_Tim_Agneta_Nola40095-fd303cc532b341cfb0d819614af66820.jpg 750w" data-sizes="750px" alt="side portrait of bride wearing a wedding dress and holding a bouquet of flowers in front of a green fence" class="lazyload universal-image__image" data-expand="300" id=mntl-sc-block-image_1-0-3 data-click-tracked="true" data-tracking-container="true" data-img-lightbox="false" /> <noscript> <img src="https://www.brides.com/thmb/gqi0eWRkLw_2pJ0cMMI_6nvpTT4=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)/Mo_Davis_Photography_Tim_Agneta_Nola40095-fd303cc532b341cfb0d819614af66820.jpg" width="1172" height="1600" class="img--noscript universal-image__image" srcset="https://www.brides.com/thmb/yTOMdQeOd34oIrXsTA_702inHoQ=/750x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)/Mo_Davis_Photography_Tim_Agneta_Nola40095-fd303cc532b341cfb0d819614af66820.jpg 750w" sizes="750px" alt="side portrait of bride wearing a wedding dress and holding a bouquet of flowers in front of a green fence" /> </noscript> </div> </div> <figcaption id="mntl-figure-caption_1-0-3" class="comp mntl-figure-caption figure-article-caption"> <span class="figure-article-caption-owner"><p>Courtesy of <a href="https://modavisphotography.com/" data-component="link" data-source="inlineLink" data-type="externalLink" data-ordinal="1" rel="nofollow">Mo Davis Photography</a></p></span> </figcaption> </figure> <span class="heading-toc" id="toc-skirt"></span> <h2 id="mntl-sc-block_1-0-36" class="comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading"> <span class="mntl-sc-block-heading__text"> Skirt </span> </h2> <p id="mntl-sc-block_1-0-37" class="comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html"> The skirt of a bridal gown is what dictates the <a href="https://www.brides.com/wedding-dress-silhouettes-5075729" data-component="link" data-source="inlineLink" data-type="internalLink" data-ordinal="1">silhouette</a> and aesthetic of an ensemble.

While designs can vary per gown, there are four main types of bodices most designers use during the construction of a wedding dress. </p> <div id="mntl-sc-block_1-0-12" class="comp u-no-article-width-restriction mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-adslot mntl-sc-block-adslot mntl-block"></div> <ul id="mntl-sc-block_1-0-13" class="comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html"> <li><strong>Corset</strong>: A <a href="https://www.brides.com/corset-wedding-dresses-5084983" data-component="link" data-source="inlineLink" data-type="internalLink" data-ordinal="1">corset bodice</a> is characterized by its built-in boning and cups. “The structured, boned design extends from the bust to the waist or hips and provides ample support and shaping to the torso,” explain Tina Wong and Alyssa Menosky of Grace + Ivory.</li> <li><strong>V-Neck</strong>: A V-neck bodice has a V-shaped neckline with straps, which Wen says “elongates the torso, offering a streamlined silhouette.”</li> <li><strong>Princess Seam</strong>: A princess-seam bodice has long seams that are meant to add shape to the top portion of a wedding dress. Wong and Menosky explain that the seams typically “run from the bust to the waist, or even to the hem, creating a fitted yet elongated silhouette.”</li><span class="mntl-sc-block-adslot mntl-sc-block-adslot-inline"></span> <li><strong>Illusion</strong>: An illusion bodice is made of “solid fabrics with added sheer fabric on top or in the back that’s usually adorned with lace or embellishments,” explains Wen.</li> </ul> <div id="mntl-sc-block_1-0-14" class="comp u-no-article-width-restriction mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-adslot mntl-sc-block-adslot mntl-block"></div> <p id="mntl-sc-block_1-0-15" class="comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html"> What's more, no matter the exact design, all bodices are composed of several layers, including lining, boning, darts, and closures. To further break it down, the lining is “the most inner layer of the dress that covers the inside of the bodice and makes the dress not sheer. It can hide seam lines and it’s usually <a href="https://www.brides.com/story/wedding-dress-fabric-guide" data-component="link" data-source="inlineLink" data-type="internalLink" data-ordinal="1">lightweight and breathable fabrics</a> such as polyester or silk,” explain Wong and Menosky. As for boning and darts, these elements are placed inside a bodice to create structure. Boning refers to the rigid strips or wires that are sewn into a bodice in a vertical direction, which Wen says “prevents the fabric from wrinkling or collapsing and helps maintain the shape of the bodice.” Similarly, darts are triangular folds that are placed around the bust area as a way to contour the bodice to your body’s curves. </p> <div id="mntl-sc-block_1-0-16" class="comp u-no-article-width-restriction mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-adslot mntl-sc-block-adslot mntl-block"></div> <p id="mntl-sc-block_1-0-17" class="comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html"> Lastly, closures—zippers, hooks and eyes, buttons, and corset lacing—are included on a bodice to hold a dress in place (and keep the top of your gown from falling down). Though Wen notes that buttons are mainly used for decorative purposes, a hook and eye will reinforce stability, and zippers offer a seamless look. For the most adjustable closure, she recommends corset lacing. </p> <div id="mntl-sc-block_1-0-18" class="comp u-no-article-width-restriction mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-adslot mntl-sc-block-adslot mntl-block"></div> <figure id="mntl-sc-block_1-0-19" class="comp mntl-sc-block-image mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-image mntl-sc-block-universal-image figure-portrait figure-high-res"> <div class="figure-media"> <div class="img-placeholder" style="padding-bottom:150.0%;"> <img data-src="https://www.brides.com/thmb/tGAY5WCT0dNt9KZqahQWC93YCUU=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)/jenniferandscott-39-d24858e82a684eb3907786e43ae4a751.jpg" width="4000" height="6000" data-srcset="https://www.brides.com/thmb/73-TIJohRB-XjMBBcm9Rh3reHlE=/750x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)/jenniferandscott-39-d24858e82a684eb3907786e43ae4a751.jpg 750w" data-sizes="750px" alt="bride wearing a butterfly motif wedding dress" class="lazyload universal-image__image" data-expand="300" id=mntl-sc-block-image_1-0-1 data-click-tracked="true" data-tracking-container="true" data-img-lightbox="false" /> <noscript> <img src="https://www.brides.com/thmb/tGAY5WCT0dNt9KZqahQWC93YCUU=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)/jenniferandscott-39-d24858e82a684eb3907786e43ae4a751.jpg" width="4000" height="6000" class="img--noscript universal-image__image" srcset="https://www.brides.com/thmb/73-TIJohRB-XjMBBcm9Rh3reHlE=/750x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)/jenniferandscott-39-d24858e82a684eb3907786e43ae4a751.jpg 750w" sizes="750px" alt="bride wearing a butterfly motif wedding dress" /> </noscript> </div> </div> <figcaption id="mntl-figure-caption_1-0-1" class="comp mntl-figure-caption figure-article-caption"> <span class="figure-article-caption-owner"><p>Photo by <a href="https://www.abbyjiu.com/" data-component="link" data-source="inlineLink" data-type="externalLink" data-ordinal="1" rel="nofollow">Abby Jiu Photography</a></p></span> </figcaption> </figure> <span class="heading-toc" id="toc-neckline"></span> <h2 id="mntl-sc-block_1-0-20" class="comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading"> <span class="mntl-sc-block-heading__text"> Neckline </span> </h2> <p id="mntl-sc-block_1-0-21" class="comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html"> A <a href="https://www.brides.com/wedding-dress-necklines-guide-4799128" data-component="link" data-source="inlineLink" data-type="internalLink" data-ordinal="1">neckline</a> sets the tone for your overall aesthetic, as it "impacts the ‘sight lines’ of the wedding dress," share Wong and Menosky.

They are typically incorporated into a dress to accentuate a bride&#39;s neckline and shoulders.</li><li><strong>Illusion</strong>: “Illusion sleeves are usually long or [three-quarter length] and are made of sheer fabric adorned with lace or embellishments, offering coverage while maintaining a delicate look,” notes Wen. </li><span class="mntl-sc-block-adslot mntl-sc-block-adslot-inline"></span><li><strong>Bishop</strong>: Bishop sleeves “gather at the wrist, creating a voluminous and billowy effect,” share Wong and Menosky. “This sleeve style adds a touch of drama, making it ideal for vintage-inspired or bohemian wedding themes.”</li> </ul> <div id="mntl-sc-block_1-0-34" class="comp u-no-article-width-restriction mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-adslot mntl-sc-block-adslot mntl-block"></div> <figure id="mntl-sc-block_1-0-35" class="comp mntl-sc-block-image mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-image mntl-sc-block-universal-image figure-portrait figure-high-res"> <div class="figure-media"> <div class="img-placeholder" style="padding-bottom:136.5%;"> <img data-src="https://www.brides.com/thmb/gqi0eWRkLw_2pJ0cMMI_6nvpTT4=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)/Mo_Davis_Photography_Tim_Agneta_Nola40095-fd303cc532b341cfb0d819614af66820.jpg" width="1172" height="1600" data-srcset="https://www.brides.com/thmb/yTOMdQeOd34oIrXsTA_702inHoQ=/750x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)/Mo_Davis_Photography_Tim_Agneta_Nola40095-fd303cc532b341cfb0d819614af66820.jpg 750w" data-sizes="750px" alt="side portrait of bride wearing a wedding dress and holding a bouquet of flowers in front of a green fence" class="lazyload universal-image__image" data-expand="300" id=mntl-sc-block-image_1-0-3 data-click-tracked="true" data-tracking-container="true" data-img-lightbox="false" /> <noscript> <img src="https://www.brides.com/thmb/gqi0eWRkLw_2pJ0cMMI_6nvpTT4=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)/Mo_Davis_Photography_Tim_Agneta_Nola40095-fd303cc532b341cfb0d819614af66820.jpg" width="1172" height="1600" class="img--noscript universal-image__image" srcset="https://www.brides.com/thmb/yTOMdQeOd34oIrXsTA_702inHoQ=/750x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)/Mo_Davis_Photography_Tim_Agneta_Nola40095-fd303cc532b341cfb0d819614af66820.jpg 750w" sizes="750px" alt="side portrait of bride wearing a wedding dress and holding a bouquet of flowers in front of a green fence" /> </noscript> </div> </div> <figcaption id="mntl-figure-caption_1-0-3" class="comp mntl-figure-caption figure-article-caption"> <span class="figure-article-caption-owner"><p>Courtesy of <a href="https://modavisphotography.com/" data-component="link" data-source="inlineLink" data-type="externalLink" data-ordinal="1" rel="nofollow">Mo Davis Photography</a></p></span> </figcaption> </figure> <span class="heading-toc" id="toc-skirt"></span> <h2 id="mntl-sc-block_1-0-36" class="comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading"> <span class="mntl-sc-block-heading__text"> Skirt </span> </h2> <p id="mntl-sc-block_1-0-37" class="comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html"> The skirt of a bridal gown is what dictates the <a href="https://www.brides.com/wedding-dress-silhouettes-5075729" data-component="link" data-source="inlineLink" data-type="internalLink" data-ordinal="1">silhouette</a> and aesthetic of an ensemble.

While designs can vary per gown, there are four main types of bodices most designers use during the construction of a wedding dress. </p> <div id="mntl-sc-block_1-0-12" class="comp u-no-article-width-restriction mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-adslot mntl-sc-block-adslot mntl-block"></div> <ul id="mntl-sc-block_1-0-13" class="comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html"> <li><strong>Corset</strong>: A <a href="https://www.brides.com/corset-wedding-dresses-5084983" data-component="link" data-source="inlineLink" data-type="internalLink" data-ordinal="1">corset bodice</a> is characterized by its built-in boning and cups. “The structured, boned design extends from the bust to the waist or hips and provides ample support and shaping to the torso,” explain Tina Wong and Alyssa Menosky of Grace + Ivory.</li> <li><strong>V-Neck</strong>: A V-neck bodice has a V-shaped neckline with straps, which Wen says “elongates the torso, offering a streamlined silhouette.”</li> <li><strong>Princess Seam</strong>: A princess-seam bodice has long seams that are meant to add shape to the top portion of a wedding dress. Wong and Menosky explain that the seams typically “run from the bust to the waist, or even to the hem, creating a fitted yet elongated silhouette.”</li><span class="mntl-sc-block-adslot mntl-sc-block-adslot-inline"></span> <li><strong>Illusion</strong>: An illusion bodice is made of “solid fabrics with added sheer fabric on top or in the back that’s usually adorned with lace or embellishments,” explains Wen.</li> </ul> <div id="mntl-sc-block_1-0-14" class="comp u-no-article-width-restriction mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-adslot mntl-sc-block-adslot mntl-block"></div> <p id="mntl-sc-block_1-0-15" class="comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html"> What's more, no matter the exact design, all bodices are composed of several layers, including lining, boning, darts, and closures. To further break it down, the lining is “the most inner layer of the dress that covers the inside of the bodice and makes the dress not sheer. It can hide seam lines and it’s usually <a href="https://www.brides.com/story/wedding-dress-fabric-guide" data-component="link" data-source="inlineLink" data-type="internalLink" data-ordinal="1">lightweight and breathable fabrics</a> such as polyester or silk,” explain Wong and Menosky. As for boning and darts, these elements are placed inside a bodice to create structure. Boning refers to the rigid strips or wires that are sewn into a bodice in a vertical direction, which Wen says “prevents the fabric from wrinkling or collapsing and helps maintain the shape of the bodice.” Similarly, darts are triangular folds that are placed around the bust area as a way to contour the bodice to your body’s curves. </p> <div id="mntl-sc-block_1-0-16" class="comp u-no-article-width-restriction mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-adslot mntl-sc-block-adslot mntl-block"></div> <p id="mntl-sc-block_1-0-17" class="comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html"> Lastly, closures—zippers, hooks and eyes, buttons, and corset lacing—are included on a bodice to hold a dress in place (and keep the top of your gown from falling down). Though Wen notes that buttons are mainly used for decorative purposes, a hook and eye will reinforce stability, and zippers offer a seamless look. For the most adjustable closure, she recommends corset lacing. </p> <div id="mntl-sc-block_1-0-18" class="comp u-no-article-width-restriction mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-adslot mntl-sc-block-adslot mntl-block"></div> <figure id="mntl-sc-block_1-0-19" class="comp mntl-sc-block-image mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-image mntl-sc-block-universal-image figure-portrait figure-high-res"> <div class="figure-media"> <div class="img-placeholder" style="padding-bottom:150.0%;"> <img data-src="https://www.brides.com/thmb/tGAY5WCT0dNt9KZqahQWC93YCUU=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)/jenniferandscott-39-d24858e82a684eb3907786e43ae4a751.jpg" width="4000" height="6000" data-srcset="https://www.brides.com/thmb/73-TIJohRB-XjMBBcm9Rh3reHlE=/750x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)/jenniferandscott-39-d24858e82a684eb3907786e43ae4a751.jpg 750w" data-sizes="750px" alt="bride wearing a butterfly motif wedding dress" class="lazyload universal-image__image" data-expand="300" id=mntl-sc-block-image_1-0-1 data-click-tracked="true" data-tracking-container="true" data-img-lightbox="false" /> <noscript> <img src="https://www.brides.com/thmb/tGAY5WCT0dNt9KZqahQWC93YCUU=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)/jenniferandscott-39-d24858e82a684eb3907786e43ae4a751.jpg" width="4000" height="6000" class="img--noscript universal-image__image" srcset="https://www.brides.com/thmb/73-TIJohRB-XjMBBcm9Rh3reHlE=/750x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)/jenniferandscott-39-d24858e82a684eb3907786e43ae4a751.jpg 750w" sizes="750px" alt="bride wearing a butterfly motif wedding dress" /> </noscript> </div> </div> <figcaption id="mntl-figure-caption_1-0-1" class="comp mntl-figure-caption figure-article-caption"> <span class="figure-article-caption-owner"><p>Photo by <a href="https://www.abbyjiu.com/" data-component="link" data-source="inlineLink" data-type="externalLink" data-ordinal="1" rel="nofollow">Abby Jiu Photography</a></p></span> </figcaption> </figure> <span class="heading-toc" id="toc-neckline"></span> <h2 id="mntl-sc-block_1-0-20" class="comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading"> <span class="mntl-sc-block-heading__text"> Neckline </span> </h2> <p id="mntl-sc-block_1-0-21" class="comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html"> A <a href="https://www.brides.com/wedding-dress-necklines-guide-4799128" data-component="link" data-source="inlineLink" data-type="internalLink" data-ordinal="1">neckline</a> sets the tone for your overall aesthetic, as it "impacts the ‘sight lines’ of the wedding dress," share Wong and Menosky.

They are typically incorporated into a dress to accentuate a bride&#39;s neckline and shoulders.</li><li><strong>Illusion</strong>: “Illusion sleeves are usually long or [three-quarter length] and are made of sheer fabric adorned with lace or embellishments, offering coverage while maintaining a delicate look,” notes Wen. </li><span class="mntl-sc-block-adslot mntl-sc-block-adslot-inline"></span><li><strong>Bishop</strong>: Bishop sleeves “gather at the wrist, creating a voluminous and billowy effect,” share Wong and Menosky. “This sleeve style adds a touch of drama, making it ideal for vintage-inspired or bohemian wedding themes.”</li> </ul> <div id="mntl-sc-block_1-0-34" class="comp u-no-article-width-restriction mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-adslot mntl-sc-block-adslot mntl-block"></div> <figure id="mntl-sc-block_1-0-35" class="comp mntl-sc-block-image mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-image mntl-sc-block-universal-image figure-portrait figure-high-res"> <div class="figure-media"> <div class="img-placeholder" style="padding-bottom:136.5%;"> <img data-src="https://www.brides.com/thmb/gqi0eWRkLw_2pJ0cMMI_6nvpTT4=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)/Mo_Davis_Photography_Tim_Agneta_Nola40095-fd303cc532b341cfb0d819614af66820.jpg" width="1172" height="1600" data-srcset="https://www.brides.com/thmb/yTOMdQeOd34oIrXsTA_702inHoQ=/750x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)/Mo_Davis_Photography_Tim_Agneta_Nola40095-fd303cc532b341cfb0d819614af66820.jpg 750w" data-sizes="750px" alt="side portrait of bride wearing a wedding dress and holding a bouquet of flowers in front of a green fence" class="lazyload universal-image__image" data-expand="300" id=mntl-sc-block-image_1-0-3 data-click-tracked="true" data-tracking-container="true" data-img-lightbox="false" /> <noscript> <img src="https://www.brides.com/thmb/gqi0eWRkLw_2pJ0cMMI_6nvpTT4=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)/Mo_Davis_Photography_Tim_Agneta_Nola40095-fd303cc532b341cfb0d819614af66820.jpg" width="1172" height="1600" class="img--noscript universal-image__image" srcset="https://www.brides.com/thmb/yTOMdQeOd34oIrXsTA_702inHoQ=/750x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)/Mo_Davis_Photography_Tim_Agneta_Nola40095-fd303cc532b341cfb0d819614af66820.jpg 750w" sizes="750px" alt="side portrait of bride wearing a wedding dress and holding a bouquet of flowers in front of a green fence" /> </noscript> </div> </div> <figcaption id="mntl-figure-caption_1-0-3" class="comp mntl-figure-caption figure-article-caption"> <span class="figure-article-caption-owner"><p>Courtesy of <a href="https://modavisphotography.com/" data-component="link" data-source="inlineLink" data-type="externalLink" data-ordinal="1" rel="nofollow">Mo Davis Photography</a></p></span> </figcaption> </figure> <span class="heading-toc" id="toc-skirt"></span> <h2 id="mntl-sc-block_1-0-36" class="comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading"> <span class="mntl-sc-block-heading__text"> Skirt </span> </h2> <p id="mntl-sc-block_1-0-37" class="comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html"> The skirt of a bridal gown is what dictates the <a href="https://www.brides.com/wedding-dress-silhouettes-5075729" data-component="link" data-source="inlineLink" data-type="internalLink" data-ordinal="1">silhouette</a> and aesthetic of an ensemble.
