Don’t get us wrong, we love a good classic sweetheart
neckline (really, what could be more feminine?). But there’s a certain amount
of sacrifice that goes with wearing a strapless sweetheart bridesmaid dress –
mainly, the comfort and security of never having to worry if your dress is
falling down. Of course, if you select a strapless sweetheart dress for your
bridesmaids, we’re sure they’ll make that sacrifice willingly (they’re your
besties after all) but we’d just like to throw something out there – there are
other neckline options you might end up loving, and that will give them a
chance to get down in the Chicken Dance without that whole awkward tug and
pull.
One-shoulder bridesmaid dresses have been hot for awhile
(read more about the one-shoulder bridesmaid dress trend here) but with the
increase in popularity of wedding dresses with straps or sleeves, we’re also
seeing more and more super pretty and feminine bridesmaid dress options with
straps, sleeves, etc. Here are four neckline options we love, and why:
1. Bateau. The bateau (French for boat) neckline is a wide
neckline that generally runs a straight line across the collarbone and, often,
almost to the shoulder points. The bateau is an uber-chic neckline option (it
makes us think of Audrey Hepburn, natch) and is flattering on most body types
(with the possible exception of very large busted girls).
2. Off The Shoulder. An off-shoulder bridesmaid dress is a
nice way to highlight the shoulders, collarbones and neck (and give the open
feel of a strapless sweetheart) while giving your maids some security in terms
of having the dress stay put. Again, flattering for most body types except
possibly girls with very broad (or sometimes, very narrow) shoulders.
3. V-Neck. We’ve talked about v-necklines before, and while
this isn’t exactly an earth-shattering trend it is a neckline we’re seeing on
more and more bridesmaid dresses, and truly is the neckline that is eminently
wearable for just about everyone. Plus, it’s super comfy and secure – just be
sure the girls have their dresses fitted and altered (if needed) properly to
ensure any low-v neckline keeps everything covered.
4. Cowl. We can’t quite decide if this is an up and coming
trend or a blip on the bridesmaid dress style radar, but we love the softness
and femininity of a cowl neckline. It looks great, again, on just about
everyone (except perhaps the bustiest of girls) and talk about comfy and
secure? Done and done.
