5 reasons why we love illusion necklines

Dreamy, feminine wedding dresses are always a favorite. Illusion necklines are a fantastic trend that add a beautiful touch to even the simplest wedding gown. There is something endearing about a white gown with delicate details like lace on sheer fabric. It is both sexy and classic. It is no wonder that more and more brides prefer this design in their wedding dresses.

Here are five reasons why this fashion trend is one of our favorites.

#1 It is a superb option for women who dread strapless designs

Not every bride is comfortable in a strapless dress. Although it may look great, strapless wedding gowns are not high on comfort. The neckline may shift and unless it is perfectly fitted, a bride may keep tugging at it and look uncomfortable throughout the day. Illusion necklines allow brides to carry off the strapless style with a supporting element that is both stylish and beautiful. So, it is a strapless, with straps; could it get any better than that?

#2 Illusion necklines are subtly sexy

You can be sexy without exposing any skin, and this is one trait of illusion necklines. Illusion necklines add instant glamour to your bridal look. Not only do you look more sexy because of the sheer layer, it is a tasteful choice that is appropriate for almost any type of wedding. The demure bride’s femininity is played up and her charm is enhanced manifold with this pattern. Gowns that feature illusion work at the back as well, are a sight to behold. Sheer fabric in the neckline and back instantly make it more sexy, and render a picture-perfect charm.

#3 Illusion necklines eliminate the need for a necklace

The details of these dress necklines are usually so fantastic, that you do not need a necklace to draw attention to your neck and decolletage. Not only can you thus save hours of time searching for the perfect necklace, you can still sport a one-of-a-kind look. For the simpler versions, where the neckline is just a sheer fabric layer without embellishments, you can pair it with a necklace and dress it up.

#4 Illusion necklines suit both mature and young brides

The sheer layer of an illusion gown may be paired with any neckline on the bodice. There are options that end high, or plunge generously at the cleavage. There are enough options in all silhouettes, fabric and designs to suit every bride, whether she is in her twenties or forties, or is slim or curvy.

#5 The details on sheer are fantastic, but not overbearing

The beauty of this neckline is that it brings together fantastic details that subtly enhance the beauty of a gown. When the details are on a sheer layer, they are more visible, and classic. The same details that would look overwhelming on a thicker fabric gown, look pleasant on an illusion neckline. Sparkling accents can be kept to a minimum or used suitably, and it can still look picture perfect.

Step into the Future of Fashion: Discover the Enchanting World of 3D Wedding Dresses!

Some trends stay for a while and are then forgotten; others make the cut and live on to be all-time favourites. One such trend that has picked up momentum and was a designer favourite on the bridal runways this year is 3D wedding dresses.

3D embellishments add an endearing charm to a wedding dress, whether modern or traditional. Whimsical motifs like butterflies and flowers are scattered across gowns of various lengths and patterns to create strikingly attractive designs that every bride would love to dress in. The Fashionista website highlights this trend with Angel Sanchez’s futuristic wedding gown design for Spring 2016.

While that particular design may be suitable for a bold bride with its contemporary cuts and adventurous wavy layers of tulle fabric, plenty of gowns with 3D embellishments are a safer choice. Let us look at some of our favourites that make a list.

Jasmine Collection Couture Spring-T172010

Spectacular Alencon floral lace appliques spread throughout the length of this A-line gown, embracing it all over the bodice and fanning out into dainty clusters along the skirt. The differing textures of the lace and tulle cause the floral motifs to stand out in 3D style. The appliques are further embellished with sparkling stones and tiny crystals, adding a scintillating effect to the dreamy designs. Featuring a stunning sweetheart neckline and highlighting the waist with a waistband in a deeper color, the dress is nothing short of perfection itself.

Mori Lee 2676 Embroidered Venice Lace appliques on net gown

How feminine and delicate is this net wedding gown. Classic Venice lace appliques with intricate beading form clusters of floral extravaganza throughout the length of this gown. Softly framing the strapless neckline is a beautiful band of sparkling stones. The dress also has a removable waistband and the fit and flare design is slimming, thus allowing you to show off your stylish side.

Y11561 Teal from Sophia Tolli

Not all designs can look both feminine and bold at the same time, but Teal does. A luxurious spread of lace motifs engulf the bodice and sweep over the layered skirt, forming a pronounced 3D effect that cannot be missed. The softly scintillating crystal beaded waistband, stylish scalloped hemline and dreamy illusion neckline are additional features that make this gown a masterpiece.

Alfred Angelo 2522 gown with simplistic 3D motif

Some dresses can create magic with just a few elements placed at the right places. This Alfred Angelo achieves this effect, with just a few striking elements. A spectacular 3D embroidered motif on the skirt makes this dress stand out with striking effect. This well-balanced motif n the pleated ball gown skirt matches the beautiful waistband and glittering shoulder straps, that add the finishing touches to the modern fitted gown.
