If we turned to the great artists of the Enlightenment with a question about what beauty is, we would hear almost the same opinion. There is nothing superfluous in beauty. Here and a beautiful wedding dress should not contain details that could complicate the image, redundant lines and unnecessary elements. This is how a straight wedding dress is characterized, which personifies femininity, beauty and elegance in the highest presentation.
Only a dress with a straight cut can favorably emphasize the tenderness of a female silhouette. The truth in the choice of dress in this style there are some restrictions that impose a taboo for brides with a certain type of figure.
For whom are suitable
It is a straight silhouette, as a key link in a wedding dress, that provides a tight-fitting style that can highlight the flaws of the figure. Therefore, if you have the following flaws: unwanted centimeters at the waist, hips of an enlarged form, inexpressive waist lines and manifested pregnancy, you should refuse to choose just this style and switch to others.
Growth is one of the parameters that allows you to freely choose a wedding dress, made in direct execution. Such a dress adds grace to tall slender brides, and low - visually pulls the figure.
If you add vertically arranged folds to the image of the dress, then the lengthening effect will only increase.
Waist, whose lines are not enough, will help emphasize the belt. In a wedding dress with a straight cut, there can be many variations regarding the shape of the neckline, sleeves of various lengths and straps.
Caution
Quite often, dresses with straight type of cut are called "case", which is due to a snug fit to the figure. The slightest mistake in the size of the dress constrains movement, making it a source of permanent discomfort, which is undesirable on the wedding day. Yes, and harmony this version of the dress certainly will not add, but clumsiness - as many as you like.
If you have to choose a direct wedding dress, then the right size is the main criterion that you need to be guided by. Only this way your figure will look slim, and the image is as gracious as possible. If we are talking about fitting outfit, then underwear should be as inconspicuous as possible.
Options
It is a direct wedding dress opens up boundless spaces for the imagination of designers. There are a lot of options for performance and it is difficult for the future bride to maintain composure when choosing the outfit in which she will be irresistible.
Laced
This option can please even lovers of extravagant style. Brides, devoid of complexes, should consider as an option a straight dress, made entirely of lace. The lack of lining fabric will open the legs, which will give the image of sexuality.
A dress with asymmetric elements will be more modest, but no less bright: a shoulder strap on only one shoulder and a straight skirt - the perfect combination that would be appropriate in a wedding dress.
The waist can be decorated with large decorative elements.
A straight wedding dress can have a mini length and even resemble a cocktail variant.The length of the maxi is also quite acceptable, and the skirt can even consist of individual elements - the originality of the image will go off-scale. Any of your ideas can be embodied in a straight dress.
Translucent fabric is an option just for a dress of a direct cut which in itself will already be magnificent. If you still think that solemnity is characteristic only for magnificent dresses, it means that you did not come across the “correct” dress of straight style.
A boat-shaped collar or slightly deflated sleeves that open the shoulders are never aging classics. Adding a small belt, for example, from satin or any other smooth, radiant fabric, will help highlight the waistline. The presence of fine lace in the zone of the sleeves, petticoat or in any area of the dress will serve as a source of modest and unobtrusive expressiveness.
Boho
Boho is embodied in the direct silhouette of a wedding dress, it bears a hint of vintage and allows you to express individuality.
All features characteristic of this style will be appropriate:
- volume applications;
- large lace;
- flower prints;
- mesh elements;
- adding flax and any other fabric with a natural base.
Wedding dress in the style of boho allows you to combine all that personifies bohemian. Any detail and any manifestation of your imagination will not be superfluous, but rather will become an original solution, such as a combination of a closed top and a figured collar line or oblique edge of the sleeves.
Caution does not hurt only those brides whose figure is not entirely perfect. Although the bohemian style and provides for the presence of spaciousness in the dresses, but the problem points can still be emphasized.
For a beach wedding
For the beach ceremony, which is now very popular among newlyweds, a straight dress is a very good option. It is advisable to choose light and air models, especially if the wedding day promises to be bright and sunny.
Feel free to consider the most open top, unless of course you want to condemn yourself to discomfort and exhaustion from the heat.
A letter-shaped neckline can also be a good option without a hint of vulgarity.
There will not be excess lace on the edge of the bodice with thin straps. Your image will be filled with touching and expressiveness. If a straight dress model provides for a train, then let it not be too long. A more relevant and concise look will get a smooth edge of the skirt hem or the presence of a small extension.

A short
Now it is increasingly possible to see the bride not in long and magnificent dresses, but in short and tight-fitting. The straight cut in this variant is the most successful, because it completely imitates the well-known “little black dress”, which, as we know, should be in the wardrobe of every woman. Choosing a short straight wedding dress, do not deprive the attention of shortened or, on the contrary, long jackets, various capes.
The harmony of this image will be indisputable. The upper part of the straight mini dress can be any: classic, asymmetrical or open. For such a dress, a bouquet will suit only a classic, round shape. Shoes - only feminine and incredibly beautiful.
Modern brides are very lucky, because the designers managed to create insanely beautiful short dresses that can be considered wedding with the presence of a removable long skirt.
The ceremonial part of the wedding can be held in a strict classical dress, covering the shoes, and the banquet - in a shorter, not constraining the movement and convenient for fun.
The society’s views on the bridal outfit have ceased to be too conservative, so nothing will prevent you from demonstrating the graceful lines of the ideal figure and enjoying your own sexuality and irresistibility all evening.
With train
The dress with a train is categorically contraindicated to low brides, because this element will prevent to create the effect of visually adding centimeters to the overall height. About wedding dress for small stature read our other article.
Tall and slender - just right you'll have such a dress. With a small growth the bride should prefer a flat skirt to the floor.
Closed and open
The first version of the dress embodies the classic models, which are characterized by a solid straight cut.
Other elements of the dress may have different variations:
- round neckline, deep V-shaped or boat-shaped;
- sleeve with a small length or, on the contrary, long, in the form of diverging wings.
Think to complement the closed form of a straight wedding dress jacket. Here you can also consider many variations: too short or more standard length and style, from dense, flowing, fully or partially transparent fabric. Jacket can be replaced with a cape with a fur or lace decor.
Fans of open wedding decoration with a straight cut can not be denied in the presence of taste. In this way, elegance and sexuality are combined in a special way. Open shoulders make the chest attractive, and the presence of a corset, as in most cases, allows you to securely fix the dress on the bride's body.
The corset can have a smooth texture or assembled into waves. Most often, the cut of the corset and skirt has a solid character, but the options of intentionally separating these two elements of the open version for the dress, presented in direct form, are allowed. Straight skirt is the most common option, but you can find such models in which the bottom consists of two skirts: the first is the lowest and the narrowest, and the second is the top short with a divergence from the waist in different directions. Freedom in movement will provide pleating on the skirt. As a supplement, as in the previous version, there are various kinds of jackets and capes.
Straps and sleeves
There are many models of wedding dresses in which there are straps, for example, a pronounced bodice, which smoothly changes into straps (thin or wide). At the same time, the shape of the straps itself can represent a unique element of the dress (straight, narrow on the shoulders with an extension to the bodice, leaving the decollete, extending beyond the neck).
It seems that such a simple element as a strap can not be of particular decorative value in shaping the image of the bride. But designers here were able to surprise. One has only to look at the dress in which two straps go into a stand-up collar.
And how unusual is the dress with an open back, along which the shoulder strap flows smoothly and ends at the waist or lower.
Straps can not be a separate element - they are connected with the bodice and form a single harmonious structure. The bodice can be presented in the form of individual cups, have a deep neckline or a smooth top.
The correct choice of style for the sleeve can turn it into a stylish and piquant addition. It takes into account not only the aesthetic question, but also the need to hide possible imperfect moments that are present on the hands (birthmarks, blemishes, scars, tattoos, rashes). The natural imperfections of the arms and shoulders are also successfully closed by the sleeves - thinness or massiveness of the shoulder line.
For each of these cases, there is a version of the sleeves style: the bell adds volume, and the laconic form, made of fine lace with an openwork pattern, with a length of three-quarters will help smooth out the massiveness. If the hands of the bride have perfect turned lines, then you should choose a sleeve, which by its design will continue the line of the dress and cover only the shoulder, or rather its upper part.
Add refinement
When viewing models of direct dresses from democratic "wedding" brands, rich decor and pretentiousness are almost never encountered.
Brighten the simplicity will help:
- lack of straps;
- the presence of asymmetric moments in the style,
- bright shoes
- expressive belt
- gloves made of lace fabric will bring light enthusiasm to the modest and discreet image of the bride.
The veil is no longer an obligatory element in a wedding wardrobe, so it can be easily replaced with large flowers woven into a hairstyle.
Even a modestly priced dress can look quite advantageous and elegant. Do not be afraid to add free-flowing and flowing fabrics to straight cut, while maintaining clarity in the lines. Even a simple satin dress without the addition of tulle due to the brilliance of quality material will have a beautiful, expensive and impressive look. Drapery may be present on the bodice and on the skirt - its ability to enrich the image is unfairly undervalued. Even shiny and shining accents will be appropriate in the straight cut of a satin dress.
Lush dresses are not as popular as they were a few years ago. And I like this trend. A-silhouette is elegant and beautiful.
