How to Choose the Right Neckline for Your Wedding Dress

Filed under Articles

When it comes to your wedding and picking the wedding dress of your dreams, it seems like a million options are available to you. The best thing to do is remember what is important and to deal with those things first.

Something that is vital to any dress and often sneaks under the radar in terms of importance is the right neckline. Necklines are the first ladies of the dress world, you may not notice them if they’re doing their job properly, but if they aren’t, it is tough to ignore.

You need to think about this very carefully. You want to draw attention to your upper body and face, but at the same time you don’t want to look like a common strumpet. If you do, by all means go ahead, it is your day after all. A first-rate dress will draw attention to the positive features and leave out the bad.

A useful point of reference is to think about what tops you wear on a daily basis. This will help to find something that is both comfortable and, when made of silky white material, absolutely stunning. The most important thing is that you feel comfortable wearing your dress, you have to feel good. After all no one likes a grimacing bride in the wedding photos!

Some of the options for necklines are:

1) The low round or scooped neck. This tends to not draw too much attention to any one part of your body. This means that everyone will be looking at your face. Make sure your hair will be looking stunning if you’re going to opt for this.

2) The Halter neckline. This is perfect if you’re a bit larger around the shoulders. You also run the risk of making your bust look uneven, so if you are going to go with this for your dress, make sure that you find a tailor you trust to make the alterations.

3) The Sweetheart neckline. This is perfect when you want to accentuate your bust. It gives flattering lines to both your face and neckline, bringing a bit of glamour to things. This works well with a romantic type of dress.

4) The V neck. The old faithful of wedding dresses. A V neck is both classic, and depending on how low you want it, a little bit daring too. It tends to draw the eye down and into the centre of the dress. Remember that you need to be very conscious of how low this dress dips, take your eye off the ball for one second and you’re going to be finding all sorts of new uses for double sided tape.

5) You can also go off the shoulder. Now be warned, this is something you need to be comfortable with. If you’re not comfortable with this dress you will spend the whole day fidgeting, do you really want to spend your wedding day squirming? This is one of those dresses that needs your confidence to work, so if you’ve got it, flaunt it!

How to Measure for your Wedding Dress or Gown

If a Wedding is in your future, and you are stumped about a wedding dress, then at least know your measurements, so that you can go window shopping or shop online.

More and more stores are going online, and its important that you have an idea of your measurements before you order. You don’t want to be wasting too much time, with a back and forth mail order. Give yourself plenty of time to do a search, but for right now, you need to figure out your measurements and size.

Here is a simple guide to go by, for measuring yourself for a wedding dress. Wedding dresses are measured slightly different, for example, length measurements are taken from the “clavicle”.. (bet you didn’t know what that was!). It is the hollow in the base of your neck.

MEASUREMENTS

Stand comfortably with equal weight on both feet and arms resting easily at sides.

?

1 BUST

Measure around the fullest part of the bust, keeping the tape measure parallel to the floor, this is better done by another person, to prevent the tape from slipping and getting a more accurate measurement..

?

2 WAIST

Measure the natural waistline.

?

3 HIP

Measure 8-10″ below the waist to find the fullest hip. Measure the fullest part of the hip, keeping the tape measure parallel to the floor, best done by another person..

?

4 LENGTH

Dress lengths are taken from the bottom of the clavicle hollow at the front of the neck to the bottom of the hem of the dress.

Skirt lengths without waistbands are taken from the center of the back, starting at the finished edge of the skirt.

Skirt lengths with waistbands are taken from the center back, starting at the bottom waistband seam.

LENGTH MEASUREMENT GUIDE

?

DRESSES

Dress lengths are taken from the bottom of the clavicle hollow at the front of the neck to the bottom hem of the dress.

Standard floor length 58½”. Extra length 63½”

?

SKIRTS

Skirt lengths without waistbands are taken from the center of the back, starting at the finished edge of the skirt.

Skirt lengths with waistbands are taken from the center back, starting at the bottom waistband seam.

Standard floor length 44½”. Extra length 49½”

Once you have these measurements, keep them in your purse for when you are shopping in the mall or online, and you will have a good idea of what size to look at, as wedding dress sizes tend to differ from regular dress sizes.

How to Buy a New Designer Wedding Dress for Under $20

January 8, 2010 by admin  
Filed under Articles

 

In all your time surfing the internet looking at wedding dresses I bet you never thought it would ever be possible to hunt out a brand new designer wedding dress for under $20. And not something hideous either. I am talking something that will leave everyone talking about how good you looked for months afterwards. As you read on you will quickly discover how to uncover the path to these bargains and before you know it you will be choosing the colour, shape and style of your dream wedding, bridesmaid and flowergirl dresses that can be custom made to your exact measurements within two weeks.

 

Now, there are two ways you can do this and if you get stuck, help is but a click away. The first way takes a lot longer to do and the second is almost instant but both ways will produce the end result successfully. I have listed the first way purely for reference purposes as it is how I initially discovered them.

 

METHOD ONE – GET RESEARCHING

You will need to do a search for Chinese wedding dress manufactures online as these are the guys you need to look up, they are the ones that have the dresses for under twenty dollars and they will sell single dresses to you. It shouldn’t take you too long to find them. Once you locate them it can be a little awkward ordering from them as a lot of their ordering screens don’t explain how to buy the products too well and mostly take you through to the manufacturers website so you can fill out an email form for a trade inquiry but if you persevere you will eventually manage to place an order and get your wedding dress on its way.

 

METHOD TWO – FIND THEIR U.S OUTLET AND ORDER IN 5 MINUTES

The easiest method by far is to search for them inside the U.S under Wedding Dress Manufactures as quite a few of the bigger Chinese manufactures now sell direct to people inside the U.S and since they have started, tens of thousands of brides have brought their dresses from them and saved hundreds and sometimes even thousands of dollars compared with what they were about to spend on dresses.

Having a fantastic wedding is not about having the biggest budget you can muster it’s about taking a little time to do some research on your bigger wedding expenses. As you can see, you can really shock yourself with what you can uncover if you just do a little snooping around. If this is what you can save just on a wedding dress, just think what you can save with your other expenses.

No doubt buying a wedding dress can be an arduous process. Every man and women wants to look the best on his or her wedding day. And why not, after all it’s a big day that we all wait sometime or the other in our lives. On average, a bride will try at least 15 to 16 wedding gowns before she actually selects the final one. It would be advisable to start the process of selecting your wedding dress at least seven months prior to the wedding if you are having the dress made.

Tips that can help
• Cut out different pictures from bridal and fashion magazine and look at old family photos to check out your preferred style.
• If you are having the dress made take references from friends and relatives on different dressmakers and designers.
• You can take a friend along to shop for your wedding wear. This can help you take some tips from her as to what will suit you more.
• Bring shoes that will match your wedding gown. Also select an appropriate heel in which you feel comfortable walking.
• It would be advisable to try on variety of dresses.
• Find out the alteration charges with the dressmaker once you select your dress.
• Allow six months for the dressmaking and be ready to take home a fabric swatch to match with your shoes, veil and accessories.

Things to avoid while shopping for your wedding dress

• Avoid taking too many friends along for shopping with you. They might never agree on the same dress. Difference in opinion can only make things messier.
• Give the dress maker a wedding date at least two weeks before the actual wedding.
