Wedding Dress Styles Whether you've envisioned your dress for many years, changed your mind several times along the way, or are still unsure, selecting the perfect gown will probably seem a daunting task. To help demystify the process, Martha and weddings editor Darcy Miller visit Michelle Roth Bridal Salon in New York City to compare four basic wedding-dress styles: the full-skirted ball gown, popularized by Queen Victoria; the A-line, which takes the same style its name suggests, with a narrow bodice and a wide skirt; the princess, defined by clean lines and a widening skirt; the sheath, whose darts and seams create a simple, streamlined silhouette; and the Empire, a high- waisted style that dates to the early-nineteenth century. There are a variety of sleeve treatments, including long sleeve, short sleeve, cap sleeve, spaghetti strap, and strapless, that can be adapted for each style of dress. The bride also has a number of fabrics from which to choose, such as satin, lace, silk, organza, and tulle. Look to the season and the type of wedding-formal or informal, day or evening-for guidance. Before you go to the bridal salon for the first time, browse through weddings magazines to get a sense of what you like; it's helpful to bring pictures of dresses that appeal to you. Also, be open to trying a variety of dresses. What may seem unlikely on the rack may be stunning on you.

Wedding Dress Styles

Whether you've envisioned your dress for many years, changed your mind several times along the way, or are still unsure, selecting the perfect gown will probably seem a daunting task. To help demystify the process, Martha and weddings editor Darcy Miller visit Michelle Roth Bridal Salon in New York City to compare four basic wedding-dress styles: the full-skirted ball gown, popularized by Queen Victoria; the A-line, which takes the same style its name suggests, with a narrow bodice and a wide skirt; the princess, defined by clean lines and a widening skirt; the sheath, whose darts and seams create a simple, streamlined silhouette; and the Empire, a high-waisted style that dates to the early-nineteenth century.

There are a variety of sleeve treatments, including long sleeve, short sleeve, cap sleeve, spaghetti strap, and strapless, that can be adapted for each style of dress. The bride also has a number of fabrics from which to choose, such as satin, lace, silk, organza, and tulle. Look to the season and the type of wedding-formal or informal, day or evening-for guidance.

Before you go to the bridal salon for the first time, browse through weddings magazines to get a sense of what you like; it's helpful to bring pictures of dresses that appeal to you. Also, be open to trying a variety of dresses. What may seem unlikely on the rack may be stunning on you.
