What's
the Best Neckline
for Your Figure Type?
|
You want to enhance your best features
on your big day. Selecting the best neckline to compliment your
strengths is easy with this great checklist.
In this article, we present the basic necklines and offer suggestions
on who looks the best in them. Remember, these are only guidelines.
You should always try on many different styles to determine what
looks the best on you!
|
V-neck
Perfect for:
showing-off your cleavage if you have a B
or C cup size.
|
Just like the name says, the V-neckstyle creates
a deep v-shaped cut to flatter and show cleavage.
|
Reconsider
this style if:
you have an A cup or a D+ cup size. |
Off-the-Shoulder
Perfect for:
brides with great shoulders
and defined collar bones.
This style often flatters
full-chested and pear shaped figures. |
Off-the-shoulder is quite popular. This neckline rests below
the shoulder and typically has sleeves that cover a small part of
the upper-arm.
|
Reconsider
this style if:
you have fuller arms, broad shoulders, or slouched posture. |
Portrait
Perfect for:
a pretty upper chest, defined collar bones,
fuller arms, and those with longer necks. |
The Portrait neckline is similar to off-the-shoulder, but
it typically has more fabric embellishments. This use of fabric
creates a softer scoop from the tip of one shoulder the other and
"frames" your chest, neck, and face.
|
Reconsider
this style if:
you have undefined collar bones. |
Sweetheart
Perfect for:
larger chests, shorter necks, flattering
cleavage and bust. |
The Sweetheart neckline is pretty, delicate, and found on
many of the popular styles of gowns. It's distinguishing look is
the heart-shaped top. |
Reconsider
this style if:
you have a smaller chest size. |
Halter
Perfect for:
any chest size, broad
shoulders, and nice backs.
|
Halter necklines typically feature straps that wrap around
to the back of the neck. It can come with high necks and very deep
cut arms holes for a dramatic and sexy look! |
Reconsider
this style if:
you have narrow shoulders, a thick back, or slouched posture. |
Scoop
Perfect for:
practically anyone! |
Scoop necks are reminiscent of the 50s and 60s - something like
Jackie O would wear. It's a classic look really looks great on any
figure type! |
Reconsider
this style if:
you don't want to draw attention to your chest or neck. |
Jewel
Perfect for:
the conservative bride and for small chested
women who
want to look slightly larger |
Jewel necklines (also called T-Shirt necklines) are definitely
more conservative than any other style. |
Reconsider
this style if:
you are already large chested and don't want to look larger! |
Sabrina/Bateau
Perfect for:
smaller chested brides |
The Bateau neckline is trendy and classic.
It is somewhat off-the-shoulder, but is cut straight and tends to
follow the curve of your collar bone. |
Reconsider
this style if:
you have a larger chest size. |
