Neckline shapes for wedding dresses

Strapless, halter or scoop -- which one’s right for you?

V-neck square

The V-neck dips down to a v-shape at the front, which de-emphasizes the bust line. The back may be similarly cut or be higher and straighter. This style suits brides with medium sized breasts.


V-neck square	Square

Square

The square neckline is cut straight across angled corners where the straps or sleeves meet. This is a style for almost any bride.


Jewel/ T-shirt	Bateau

Jewel/ T-shirt

The jewel neckline is round and high cut, sitting near the base of the throat. This style is good for small busted brides and anyone wishing to cover up their upper chest/ collar-bone area.

Bateau

The wide neck shape of the bateau follows the collar bone almost to the edge of the shoulders. The front and back panels are either joined at the tip or separated by a thin strap.


Asymmetrical	Shoelace/ spaghetti strap

Asymmetrical

The neckline is different on the left and right of the bodice. The dramatic example here is the one-shoulder design. This style is good for the bride who doesn't need to wear a bra.

Shoelace/ spaghetti strap

The neckline is usually straight or slightly shaped, and supported by thin, delicate straps, which are sometimes detachable. This style is good for small to medium-chested brides.
