When preparing for a wedding celebration, a young bride pays close attention to every detail of her festive look, because on this day everything should be at the highest level. The dress is of particular importance, since it is what embodies the tenderness and femininity of a young girl. Nowadays, the variety of outfits allows you to choose an image for any type of figure, but straight wedding dresses are especially popular. They perfectly emphasize the chiseled curves of a woman's figure.
Variations
The variety of straight wedding dress models cannot but please future brides: in wedding salons you will find an outfit for every taste and budget. Straight cut wedding dresses can be divided into the following categories:
With sleeve
Styles with lace sleeves are especially popular among brides. In combination with an open back, they emphasize the sexuality and femininity of the bride. Satin sleeves are usually decorated with stones, sequins or embroidery. They look very stylish, elegant, since designers mainly sew classic-cut sleeves from satin - straight or flared.
Semi-transparent chiffon sleeves will highlight the elegance of the bride's beautiful hands. Such sleeves go well with fishtail or loose-fitting dresses.
Dresses with nylon sleeves are also popular. They allow you to hide minor skin imperfections and at the same time emphasize the mystery and playful mood of the bride. Nylon sleeves can be decorated with embroidery or lace.
Sleeves made of natural silk are usually sewn in a tight-fitting cut, which perfectly emphasizes the arms and thin wrists of the bride. Such sleeves can be found in dresses of a classic cut.
Velvet sleeves shimmer beautifully in the sun. Velvet dresses emphasize the individuality of the bride, since only a bold girl with an unconventional taste can choose such an outfit.
Straight wedding dresses with sleeves should be chosen if:
- The bride wants to hide skin imperfections on her arms and shoulders: small rashes, redness, acne, scars or tattoos;
- The celebration will be held in the cold season, since a chiffon dress with thin straps will look at least inappropriate in the winter cold;
- The young bride wants to divert attention from her full arms and shoulders;
- After the painting, the newlyweds plan to get married. According to church rules, entering the church with bare shoulders and arms is prohibited;
- Religious views prohibit exposing arms and shoulders.
Sleeveless
Dresses with wing sleeves are no less popular among brides. Such sleeves barely cover the shoulder, exposing the arms and wrists. Wing sleeves are sewn from satin, chiffon, nylon or any other fabric suitable for creating a wedding dress. They suit owners of narrow shoulders, visually widening them.
Sleeveless dresses usually have a corset shape, beautifully lifting the chest and demonstrating graceful collarbones. Wedding dresses with a corset are suitable for owners of a beautiful bust, long neck and thin arms.
Thin and graceful spaghetti straps in a wedding dress add tenderness and sexuality to the image. They are made of lace or satin and decorated with sequins, beads, pearls or openwork lace.
Medium-width straps combined with the top of the bodice create beautiful cutouts in the décolleté area, emphasizing the chest, collarbones and neck. With the help of the cutout, you can adjust the upper part of the female figure. An equally popular option is wide straps that taper towards the edge of the bodice of the dress.
Maxi
Long wedding dresses are considered a classic option. Such models are not weighed down by unnecessary elements and decor, but their simplicity conquers brides from all over the world. Not so long ago, dress models with slits at the back or on the sides gained popularity. This style visually lengthens the legs, making them slimmer. In addition, it adds sexuality and playfulness to the image.
Another fashionable option is a dress with an elongated skirt. A more well-known option is a short skirt in the front and a long one in the back. Dresses with long skirts in the front and short ones in the back look no less elegant.
A straight-cut wedding dress can also be sewn with a train. Such a truly royal outfit will emphasize the splendor of the celebration and the importance of the main heroine of the holiday - the bride. The train can be long or short, the main rule is that the bride should be comfortable and convenient.
Mini
A short dress has a number of advantages over models with long hems:
- A short dress is more comfortable to wear. It is not as hot and does not require special preparation, like, for example, a dress with a long train;
- A mini dress will cost less than its maxi counterpart;
- This outfit can be worn to another evening celebration, you just need to change the accessories or shoes.
Mini wedding dresses also surprise with a variety of styles and models. There are options for every taste: with and without sleeves, with a deep neckline and a small neckline, with or without a slit. Any girl will be able to find an outfit to her taste. Models with variable length are no less popular: the length of the front part of the dress is mini or midi, and there is a beautiful train at the back.
The main thing that a bride should not forget when choosing a dress above the knee is that such an outfit will emphasize the legs and draw attention to the hips. Therefore, owners of curvy shapes should approach the choice of such a dress with special care.
Midi
Midi dresses are universal, as they suit women with a wide variety of figures. The main advantages of midi dresses are:
- The number of models and styles that allow brides of any height to look equally chic;
- A midi dress does not expose the legs above the knee, which allows you to hide existing flaws;
- The perfect length for a hot or cool day wedding;
- The versatility of the outfit allows you to choose it for both a classic and a themed wedding.
In addition, midi-length dresses are extremely convenient if the wedding will take place abroad. Transporting a lush outfit can cause a number of inconveniences, and a straight-cut midi wedding dress is much easier to pack.
Popular fabrics
Fabrics for sewing wedding dresses must simultaneously meet several important criteria:
- To create a beautiful shape, dense, well-structured fabrics are used;
- To create a flowing and delicate look, light, airy fabrics are used;
- Truly royal outfits are made from fabrics with relief patterns and intricate designs;
- Fabrics for wedding dresses with stitch elements hold volume well and look quite textured.
In addition, fabrics for wedding dresses can be divided into the following types:
- Natural, synthetic and mixed,
- Matte and glossy,
- Fabrics that reflect sunlight.
The following types of fabric are ideal for straight-cut dresses:
- Satin is an incredibly light, pleasant to the body fabric. Its smooth, iridescent surface in the sunlight will not leave any bride indifferent. Satin can contain both natural and synthetic fibers. The only disadvantage of this type of fabric is that it wrinkles easily. If the dress is not chosen according to size, the fabric will gather in folds in the most inappropriate places. Wedding dresses made of satin are decorated with sequins, pearls, beads, glass beads or embroidery. National embroidery of red, blue, black flowers on a snow-white hem of a skirt or snow-white flowers on a beige dress will look unusual;
- Silk - can rightfully be considered the second most popular material after satin. It is light, smooth and very gentle on the skin. Sewing a silk dress can only be entrusted to a highly qualified specialist, since this light fabric can slip and slide when cutting. Silk, like satin, wrinkles easily, this must be taken into account when choosing a dress from this material. In addition, it makes the figure look a little fatter, which is why overweight girls need to be extremely careful with it;
- Brocade is a well-known fabric that was used in past centuries to sew formal attire for members of royal families. Nowadays, this material has become available to everyone, since alloys have been used instead of gold and silver threads. But this has not affected the appearance of the fabric. The patterns on it have become even more ornate, and outfits made from this material still look luxurious;
- Chiffon is a fairly popular fabric for wedding dresses intended for celebrations held in the warm season. Chiffon is very airy, translucent, it will add lightness and tenderness to any image. Chiffon is not used as the main fabric, but is great for decorating a wedding dress;
- Lace - straight wedding dresses with lace do not lose their popularity. A dress made of this material will suit almost any image: an innocent and romantic princess or a sexy, fatal beauty. Lace dresses delight brides with a variety of colors: lovers of classics will like snow-white lace, and bold experimenters - pink, blue, red, black;
- Velvet is not as popular a fabric as the ones listed above, although it is rightfully considered one of the most luxurious fabrics for evening wear. Velvet is thick and warm, so it is perfect for a celebration in the winter. In addition, it practically does not wrinkle or crease, which helps to avoid unpleasant surprises.
It is better to choose a straight cut velvet dress, and you can complement the look with stylish jewelry and beautiful shoes.
Looks for different seasons
The choice of a wedding dress largely depends on the time of year when the special event will be held. It is important that the bride feels comfortable: not to freeze in winter, not to overheat in summer.
Do not forget that the entire celebration should be arranged in a single style. It is necessary to carefully prepare not only the image of the bride, but also the groom: suit, shoes, tie, hairstyle and boutonniere - all this is of great importance for creating the right atmosphere of the holiday.
In addition, it is necessary to think about the accessories, shoes and jewelry that the bride will wear on her wedding day. Their choice also directly depends on the season. Famous designers and stylists have already thought out universal images that each girl can adjust and use for her celebration:
- For a celebration in winter, it is necessary to choose an outfit made of thick, warm fabric. Velvet, jacquard or crepe are considered ideal options. A fur coat or a bolero with long sleeves will be an ideal addition to the wedding look. If the newlyweds plan to hold a wedding photo shoot outdoors, it is better to choose low-heeled shoes. If the bride is not at risk of hypothermia in the open air, you can choose shoes with a closed toe and heel;
- It is better to choose a midi or mini length wedding dress for an autumn celebration, the main thing is that it does not have a train, since rainy autumn weather can spoil the snow-white hem and the bride's mood. As a beautiful accessory, you can use a light cape or cardigan in case the weather turns bad and the wind picks up;
- For a summer celebration, it is necessary to choose an outfit made of delicate, light, flowing fabrics that will not weigh down the image. Chiffon, satin or light crepe are ideal for a summer wedding dress. In addition, you can pay attention to models with an asymmetrical skirt, an open back, an unusual neckline. When choosing shoes, you have the opportunity to try on stiletto sandals or light sandals, if the style of the holiday allows;
- For a spring celebration, a dress should be chosen from thick fabrics: jacquard, taffeta or velvet. The weather at this time of year is still capricious, the wind may rise or it may rain. The bride should be ready for such unexpected surprises.
As an accessory, you can use a cape or bolero made of light but dense fabric. As for footwear, you can use low boots for early spring, shoes or sandals for warmer weather.
