Closed Wedding Dresses

Since ancient times, one glance was enough to charm the strong sex. And if an ankle showed up from under a full skirt or even a little shoulder was exposed from under openwork fabrics, then men generally lost their minds.

And now, wedding dresses are most reminiscent of luxurious ballroom toilets, generously exposing the charms of the bride: open shoulders and back, a bust slightly covered with a bodice or a deep neckline. Fantasy has no place to roam, everything is in plain sight. Excessive openness does not surprise anyone. But it does not intrigue the male gender. At the same time, a closed wedding dress looks like a relic of the past. But is it?

In fact, the wedding dress Kate Middleton is considered an example of sophisticated taste. He was expected, perhaps, with no less impatience than the royal wedding itself.

But any other bride, regardless of her social status, will look in a closed dress not only modestly, but also very noble.

Such a sublime, romantic and somewhat mysterious image among the abundance of a naked body from other brides will surely take all their eyes to themselves, and will make many wonder: is "nudity" really the only way to attract male attention?

• First of all, those brides who have a refined taste, a sense of proportion and style.
• Believing brides, and it doesn't matter whether they are Orthodox or Muslim, we have similar traditions in this regard.
• Girls who want to impress others with their exquisite style and stand out from the crowd. Such a choice can be dictated by the modesty inherent in the bride.
• A closed dress with a long sleeve, with a good cut, allows you to hide many flaws of the figure, not only too full, but also too thin (small bust, bony shoulders, poor skin, etc.). Some brides are too dubious and may themselves come up with some imaginary flaws, but a closed dress will be such a good choice that you should not be upset.
• To the brides, to whom the feminine flair tells: the body looks much more piquant and alluring if it is not exposed, but demonstrated in a closed, but translucent or tight-fitting dress. Indeed, such an outfit looks incredibly sexy with an external modesty of style.
• If the wedding takes place in winter, then brides in open dresses will not be envied - there is no time to catch a cold. Therefore, closed models will not only be more sophisticated, but also a more practical choice.
• If the wedding is held in the summer outdoors, a closed openwork dress is a good choice for brides with sensitive skin. It will protect the delicate skin from the scorching sun.

The name itself suggests that in such a dress the top and back are closed, as well as the hands - in whole or in part, depending on the length of the sleeve. However, being completely closed, it looks very elegant when using lace in combination with the main fabric of the dress, giving the bride's image softness and fragility.

At the same time, the wedding dress may look like a very low-necked ballroom toilet, only the bodice, back and sleeves should be made of lace or transparent fabric. Such dresses will help girls with a full figure to create an unforgettable image. And much more attractive than revealing outfits that demonstrate not the most successful parts of the figure (full shoulders and arms, fat folds on the back).

Another option is also possible: closed in front, long sleeves and an open openwork back, which looks very piquant and even extravagant.

A closed wedding dress can be found in any style. And their species are no less diverse than in open ones. This applies to the cut, and the choice of fabric or their combination.

The most dense fabric is most harmoniously combined with translucent lace or airy, from which spectacular drapery of the neckline is made. In addition, closed dresses can be worn at the wedding ceremony in the church - they correspond to all the canons.

Wedding dresses with a closed back will help hide possible skin defects, traces left by a swimsuit during tanning, etc. The bride should look perfect from any angle, so designers pay considerable attention to this part of the dress: decorate with a light mesh, lace or embroidery, along with beautiful buttons .

A closed top can be made of the main fabric, however, models where the main, rather dense fabric of the dress contrasts with lace or richly decorated chiffon inserts look much more interesting.

A closed wedding dress with a long sleeve gives the bride's image a certain aristocratic dignity, grandeur and, at the same time, restraint.

A sleeve can be in principle of any length and shape:

• long;
• three quarters;
• short;
• straight;
• narrowed;
• extended below.

The bride with short sleeves-lanterns looks very touching, even somehow childish, and the long narrow sleeve evokes associations with royal attire.

A closed-shoulder wedding dress helps create the image of a clean, chaste bride. However, here you should consider the features of the figure:

• V-neckline is suitable for a round face and broad shoulders, visually narrowing them;
• with the help of a notch in the shape of a “boat” the narrow shoulders of a thin bride will appear wider.

We already said above that the shoulders can be covered with lace or chiffon insert - it looks very beautiful and elegant.

A wedding dress with a closed neck is not recommended for full girls, as well as for a short neck, because visually it makes the neck even shorter. But for thin girls with a long neck, this is a wonderful option - it will emphasize their fragility, tenderness and some kind of helplessness that any man will arouse the instinct of a defender.

A lace dress on a satin cover looks incredibly impressive. The shiny fabric is half hidden by an airy lace top, but gently shimmers with every movement, and the delicate lace pattern looks even more beautiful against such a background.

Closed dresses are also a great option for pregnant women: they are slim and, depending on the taste of the bride, can have a wide variety of cuts. Very often, preference is given to the Greek style (Empire style) with a waistline under the chest, which successfully combines with sleeves and a beautifully decorated bodice.

The choice of fabrics for wedding dresses is extremely wide:

• brocade;
• silk;
• atlas;
• lace;
• tulle
• organza;
• chiffon;
• crepe de chine.

A combination of fabrics of the same color, but with different densities and textures, looks very elegant, and almost all fabrics combine perfectly with guipure and lace.

For a wedding celebration, rich fabrics with a complex texture are often chosen that practically do not need additional jewelry and require a laconic, exquisitely simple style, in particular, closed wedding dresses.

But dresses from less pretentious, including thin, airy, light fabrics, look very elegant thanks to various kinds of decorative elements.

In particular, large jewelry in the form of a flower made of fabric or bow became a fashionable detail, and then the use of rhinestones or embroidery is not too appropriate.It is with one single decorative element that the wedding dress will look emphasized elegant and stylish.

The traditional white color has many shades: snow white and ivory, pearl and cream, silver and bluish. The desire for originality encourages designers to use almost all the colors of the spectrum in creating wedding collections.

Increasingly, young brides give preference to dresses in soft pastel colors, and ladies for whom marriage is not the first - wedding dresses of rich flowers (blue, turquoise, lilac, purple, cherry, etc.).

There are even black wedding dresses, but this is already too much to shock the audience. But the red color, which is considered festive by many nations and has traditionally been used for wedding dresses, returns to its position, especially if the wedding is held in compliance with ancient Russian rites. Naturally, at such a wedding, only a closed bride’s dress is appropriate.

Closed wedding dresses can be considered one of the main trends in modern wedding fashion. They can differ from popular open models only with a closed top and sleeves made of lace, but this immediately gives them grace and elegant simplicity, and the very image of the bride has an inimitable dignity and even regality.

Short silhouettes of closed wedding dresses and the floor became fashionable. As well as tight-fitting or with a narrow bodice and a fluffy skirt.

A closed top and sleeves enhance the romantic motif and hint at sensuality, making the image innocent and, at the same time, sexy.

Laconicism and severity of silhouette, typical for models in retro style, only emphasize the dignity of the bride’s figure and her impeccable taste. Such models are distinguished by a minimum of jewelry, sometimes an unusual cutout of the neckline or a luxurious bow on the belt is enough to make the wedding dress look really chic.

The choice of a closed wedding dress testifies not only to the good taste of the bride - this is the choice of deep natures who do not want to expose either their body or their soul in front of everyone, but strive to preserve themselves for the one and only - their betrothed.
