My Fashion Guide: Bridal gown trend alert: off the shoulder wedding dress

If you want to show off the skin in an elegant way on your big day, look no further than off the shoulder wedding gown. With this dress style, you can wear a statement jaw dropping necklace. This will draw attention to your face and upper body. What’s more, the odd the shoulder neckline can balance the full skirt if you opt for a ball gown style. The following are some ideas on choosing off the shoulder gowns.

Why choose off the shoulder style?

Strapless dress is one of the most popular wedding dress styles. However, I would not suggest you to choose a strapless style unless you can glue it in place and you have zero body fat. If you choose a dress that causes rolls of extra skin to appear whenever you move (underarm, back) then you'll forever dislike a good portion of your non-posed wedding photos. Instead, choose a flattering style that keeps you look sexy and allows you to move freely. Off the shoulder, halter or straps styles are great. Compare with halter and straps styles, off the shoulder styles add a touch of elegance in seconds. Make your day a little more interesting and make all their heads turn towards you with a sexy yet modest bridal gown!

Which body type is off the shoulder dress flattering for?

A gown that's worn off the shoulder is designed to reveal the whole upper curve of the shoulders and sometimes the uppermost arms. Off-the-shoulder styles can work in a pear-shaped bride's favor if she wants to create width at her shoulders, especially if the gown has a fuller skirt.
