Today there are several choices for a bride to select, when deciding on exactly what waistline she would like on her gown.
Generally, the waistline of a dress is where the bodice of the gown joins with the skirt at the seams. However not all styles have a horizontal seamed cut and brides often use clever design to enhance or disguise certain features of their natural waistline.
Each waistline style has its own beauty and particular attributes which would make it suitable for some figures or a poor choice for others.
Selecting a waistline for your gown is equally as important as your veil, headpiece, neckline and all your other features, as this sets the tone and outline for your finished look, creating the shape you desire.
