It is with classic dresses that most brides begin to choose for themselves an outfit for the most important event in life. After all, it is they who always remain fashionable and relevant.
Features
One of the main features of a classic wedding dress is a bodice with a corset, decorated with various elements. The corset can exist separately from the bottom of the dress or be one piece.
As for the skirt, the classic version does not provide excessive pomp. Layering or crinoline with several rings may be present.
Length
A long, sophisticated and elegant dress is a classic wedding fashion. Although now you can find many classic models in a shortened version, while their length should be below the knees.
Short models became popular even during women's emancipation, and therefore are considered to be some deviation from the standards of the classics, but still they do not go beyond what is permitted. But already short dresses or skirts in the style of a ballerina can not be attributed to the classics for such serious deviations.
Another characteristic feature of the classic is the pronounced waist line from which the skirt begins. A decorated belt or satin ribbon is appreciated.
Plume
A train can be present in a classic outfit, but it cannot 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 his presence in a short wedding dress will not save the situation and the image will still be considered unconventional.
Neckline
It is generally accepted that in a classic corset wedding dress there are no sleeves and straps.The image is complemented by various wraps, starting from the weather and the style of the wedding. It is also taken into account that when choosing a bolero or shawl, you need to monitor the preservation of elegance and modesty.
Modernity dictates its own rules. The classic look becomes more romantic if the shoulders and the neckline are covered with the finest lace.
A modest neckline does not require you to choose a closed dress with a collar that reaches to the neck. But still too provocative, frank neckline would be inappropriate. There are a lot of options for a modest neckline, for example, a wide semicircular boat, supplemented with lace to the shoulders. The unusual shape of the cutout 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 neckline that opens the collarbone will fit the “sand” shape.
Classic dresses cannot have asymmetric lines and a wide strap that covers the neck.
Closed back
Closed back allows you to make a riddle in 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 styles that are taken as the basis for creating wedding classics.
Lush
Thanks to Queen Victoria, who appeared at her wedding in a magnificent dress with a long train and a tight-fitting corset, the wedding fashion was replenished with another direction.
A wide range of fabrics can be used to create lush outfits. The greatest relevance is characterized by organza with tulle. Layered skirts that flutter in the wind and while moving look beautiful. Carries a noble atlas, which is used with a petticoat.
If the wedding includes a wedding, then on the style and cut of the dress you need to pay special attention. A simple, closed and long outfit will be appropriate. In a small amount, lace may be present, which will add grace and lightness. To make a dress special, you can use an interesting fabric, such as velvet or satin. Designers manage to experiment with a cut, leaving it at the same time classic.
Straight cut
At that moment, when women were tired of the uncomfortable styles of dresses, outfits appeared with a straight cut and a length below the knee. Simple, with a small amount of decor - such dresses are still popular and are 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 volumetric decor. Outfits may include 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 out a strict style. Minimal decor is complemented by chic accessories in the form of wraps, belts and veils.
Decor
Exquisite decor can not be catchy. Contrasting colors, vibrant elements and colored petticoats - all this cannot be present in a classic dress.
Lace and embroidery with beads or rhinestones can only serve as decoration for a wedding dress.
Skillful handling of these decorating elements will allow you to create the most unusual and very complex effects, ranging from complex ornaments and voluminous patterns to narrative compositions. Classic allows you to use delicate shades of white and beige, opal and pink for decoration. Their location and quantity does not lend itself to restrictions - at least in separate fragments, at least along the entire length of the dress.
Color
The color of course should be white. But do not consider it boring, because it is in white that the innocence that the bride embodies is contained in white.The image is fresh and can easily be combined with other colors.
True, a 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 disappointment if you are not peculiar to the winter color type. Designers use dozens of shades of white to create classic dresses, from which you can definitely choose the only one. Maybe it will be milk or cream, egg or pearl, alabaster or champagne. Although these colors are not pure white, their use is nevertheless possible in classic wedding fashion.
Classics always remain out of fashion. So it will be further. And if such outfits seem boring to you, then there are always accessories that add piquancy and allow the bride to display her personality.
Classic wedding dresses in my understanding are snow-white. I really liked the first dress (model with a crown). In such a dress you will be a real princess!
