Halter - A sleeveless bodice with a high wrap neck. Sometimes backless; always sexy.
Midriff - A bodice that fits snugly around the mid-cage. Great for accentuating tiny waists.
Asymmetrical (one-shoulder) - An asymmetrical bodice with one exposed shoulder. Extremely fashionable, and therefore popular, in recent years.
Princess-line - These wedding gowns are super-slimming and have a sleek bodice characterized by two vertical seams that travel from bust to hem, giving the illusion of extra height.
Surplice - Another fashion-forward style, the surplice bodice is created by the cross-wrapping of fabric in either the front or back. The lower the neckline, the higher the sex appeal.
Tank - A short, sleeveless top with wide armholes, this style has become the most sought after in the last few years. Looks great when paired with a sheer wrap.

Wedding Dress, Designer Bridal Gown Colors 

Vogue Bridal Wear wedding gowns are available in many colors, however, when selecting "whites" or "off-whites", here are some useful tips. Off white. Stark white. Bright white. And what exactly is eggshell? Choosing a shade of white for your wedding gown has become almost as difficult as choosing the bridal gown itself. Here's everything you need to know to get the "right white" wedding dress.

The Shades

Stark White
The brightest, crispest white you can find. Looks great on brides with a darker complexion.

Silk, Diamond, or Natural White
A shade off of stark white and may be hard to differentiate from stark white in photos. "Eighty percent of the population looks best in a soft, diamond-white wedding dress, which isn't as chalky as a white-white," explains dress designer Melissa Sweet. "When in doubt, buy diamond white."

Ivory
Also referred to as "eggshell" or "candlelight." Some ivory wedding dresses have yellow undertones, making them look creamy; some are just a "quiet" white.

Rum or Champagne
A white with pink undertones that looks nearly white in photos.

The Selection

The key to finding your shade? Knowing your skin tone.

If your skin is fair: you'll look best in yellow-ivories and warmer natural colors. You should probably steer clear of stark white, though -- it may wash you out.

If your skin is medium with pink undertones: opt for creamier colors.

If your skin is medium with yellow undertones: try diamond whites or champagne.

If your skin is dark: lucky you -- most shades of white will complement your skin. If you have yellow or olive undertones yellow-ivory wedding dresses may not be best for you. Try a stark white or rum pink wedding gown.
