It is with classic dresses that most brides begin to choose an outfit for the most important event in life. After all, they always remain fashionable and relevant.
Features
One of the main features of a classic wedding dress is a bodice with a corset, adorned with a variety of elements. The corset can exist separately from the bottom of the dress or be one.
As for the skirt, the classic version does not provide for excessive pomp. Multiple layers or crinoline with several rings may be present.
Length
A long, sophisticated and elegant dress is a classic of wedding fashion. Although now you can find a lot of classic models in a shortened version, while their length should be below the knees.
Short models became popular during women's emancipation, and therefore are considered to be a certain deviation from the standards of the classics, but still do not go beyond what is permitted. But already short dresses or skirts in the style of a ballerina cannot be attributed to the classics for such serious deviations.
Another characteristic feature of the classics is the pronounced waistline, from which the skirt begins. The presence of a decorated belt or satin ribbon is welcomed.
Plume
The train may be present in a classic outfit, but it can not be too long and voluminous. This element entered the wedding fashion in the 15th century, so its attitude to the classics is beyond doubt. But its presence in a short wedding dress will not save the situation and the image will still be considered non-traditional.
Decollete
It is generally accepted that in a classic style corset wedding dress there are no sleeves and straps. The image is complemented by various capes, starting from the weather and the style of the wedding. It is also taken into account that when selecting a bolero or a shawl, you need to ensure that elegance and modesty are preserved.
Modernity dictates its own rules. The classic look becomes more romantic if the shoulders and décolleté are covered with the finest lace.
Modest neckline does not require you to choose a closed dress with a collar, reaching to the neck. But still too provocative, frank cleavage would be inappropriate. Options for a modest neckline weight, for example, a wide semicircular boat, complemented by lace to the shoulders. The unusual shape of the notch can be identified with the classics, but caution and modesty will not hurt here. Choosing a square neckline, you can add the missing volume to the shoulders and balance the figure with wide hips. The cut-out opening the clavicle will fit under the “sand” figure.
Classic dresses can not have asymmetric lines and a wide shoulder strap that covers the neck.
Closed back
The closed back allows you to add a puzzle to the image, to make it more interesting. Here one can consider not only the aesthetic side, but also the practical one. In winter, the bride will be warm, and in summer the soaring sun will not harm the skin.
Styles
Now is the time to move on to considering the styles that are taken as the basis for creating wedding classics.
Curvy
Thanks to Queen Victoria, who appeared at her wedding in a lush dress with a long train and a tight corset, the wedding fashion has been replenished with one more direction.
A wide range of fabrics can be used to create lush outfits. The greatest relevance is characterized by organza with tulle. Beautifully layered skirts that flutter in the wind and when moving.It carries with it the nobility of the atlas, which is used together with the petticoat.
If the wedding includes a wedding, then the style and cut of the dress is required to pay attention. A simple, closed and long outfit is appropriate. Lace may be present in a small amount, which will add grace and lightness. An interesting fabric, such as velvet or satin, can make a dress special. Designers manage to experiment with a cut, leaving it classic at the same time.
Straight cut
At that moment, when women were fed up with uncomfortable styles of dresses, outfits with a straight cut and below the knee length appeared. Simple, with a small amount of decor - these dresses are still popular and often chosen by brides.
Strengthened in fashion, the style of art decor is still based on the use of smooth lines and minimal use of surround decor. The sleeves may contain a sleeve of various lengths, a closed upper part and a straight skirt. The most successful straight dresses look in soft velvet or cast satin. It is these materials that manage to smooth the strict style. The minimum decor is complemented by chic accessories in the form of capes, belts and veils.
Decor
Exquisite decor can not be catchy. Contrast colors, bright elements and colorful petticoats - all this can not be present in a classic dress.
The decoration for the wedding dress can only serve as lace and embroidery with beads or rhinestones.
Skillful handling of these decorating elements will allow you to create the most unusual and very complex effects, ranging from complex patterns and three-dimensional patterns to plot compositions. Classic allows you to use for the decoration of delicate shades of white and beige, opal and pink. Their location and number is not subject to restrictions - even in individual fragments, even along the entire length of the dress.
Colour
Color of course should be white. But you should not consider it boring, because it is in white that the innocence lies that the bride embodies. The image is fresh and can easily be combined with other colors.
True, the snow-white dress is not suitable for every bride. Only girls with a winter color type (pale skin, dark hair, bright eyes) can safely choose a white dress.
There is no reason for grief, if you don’t have a winter color type. Designers use to create classic dresses in dozens of shades of white, from which you can definitely choose the one. Maybe it will be milk or creamy, egg or pearl, alabaster or champagne. Let these colors and not pure white, but still their use is possible in the classic wedding fashion.
Classic is always out of fashion. So it will be further. And if such outfits seem boring to you, then there are always accessories that add zest and allow the bride to display her individuality.
Classic wedding dresses in my understanding of white. I liked very much the first dress (model with a crown). In this dress you will be a real princess!
