.

2.Off the shoulder:
As its name suggests, the shape of this neckline rests below the shoulders across the top of the bust line and consequently will draw attention to your uncovered shoulders and collarbone, away from your bottom half.

3.Portrait:
Not unlike the off-the-shoulder style, this neckline folds around the shoulders and meets in the front middle point of the bust, like a large headscarf worn loosely over the tip of the shoulders.

This style enhances the bride’s face features and neck and might also be a better option than the off-the-shoulders for brides who are self-conscious about showing broad shoulders or fuller arms.

4.Scoop:
This is a low wide round in cut neckline stretching softly to the shoulders and its height can vary at the front and back.

This classic neckline exposes in a most flattering way shoulders and neck, lessening hips and waist and looks good and elegant on most figures. The open neckline is a good option for women with a large bust as it gives the illusion of a smaller bust.

5.V-Neck:
Cut in the shape of the letter V at the back or front or both, the depth of this neckline varies, sometimes half way down the bodice, sometimes plunging down to the waistline, bringing a very feminine and seductive touch to the outfit.

This open neckline is flattering for full figured shapes. In a similar way to the Scoop, this is a very good choice for wider hips, as a fitted V-neck bodice will draw attention to the face away from your hips and stomach , and will enhance chest and neck with the result of a very feminine silhouette. Also a good choice for larger busted women, as by dividing the chest area it will reveal a good cleavage.

6. Halter neck:
This sleeveless style is formed by straps, which fasten round the back of the neck or a bodice with a high neck, which reveals very generously the upper arms and the back, producing a very feminine and sexy effect.

This glamorous neckline will attract attention to the shoulders, which is a good thing if you have great shoulders or are conscious of a maybe too large bust and too wide hips and waist but not such a good idea if you have narrow shoulders.

7.Spaghetti or shoe string straps: Very small straps which run straight over the shoulders and down the back or can be tied around the back of the neck. This minimalistic look is splendid on slender silhouettes but not such a good choice for brides with a fuller bust or narrow shoulders.

If you have planned a traditional ceremony in a church where revealing more of your upper body might be regarded as unsuitable, or you wish to protect yourself from the elements, you might consider covering your shoulders for the time of the ceremony with a soft drape, a sheer stole, or a bolero jacket which will bring an element of precision and proportion to the general shape of the outfit.

8.Strapless.
Combined with an A-Line skirt, the strapless neckline has become increasingly popular, as many shoulders look attractive when uncovered.

Very fitting, with no sleeves or straps, it might come straight in the front or shaped. Again, it will be flattering if you have a larger bust in the way this neckline appears to “break” the chest area and lessen the width of the bust and give the illusion of a smaller bust .

9.Bateau:
Running gently from one shoulder to the other, in a similar way back and front, this very classic neckline adopts the shape of a shallow curve along the collarbone to the border of the shoulders.

Very flattering for women with smaller chests as less revealing than for instance the off-the shoulders line, as it will give the illusion of larger chests and draw the eye up to the face and neck.

10 .Illusion:
Really any style of neckline, (scoop, sweetheart, V neck etc….) which is covered with a sheer net or chiffon and will usually stops at the bust line. The very distinctive effect of this fine netting"coverage" will draw attention towards the upper half of your body if you are conscious of you hips and waistline. This neckline contributes to add a soft and sophisticated look to the dress.

11.Jewel or T-shirt neckline:
This neckline actually looks like a T-shirt, featuring a high round neckline which follows closely the shape of neck and shoulders and rests at the base of the throat. This more conservative look was originally created to enhance the effect of jewellery. The simplicity of this neckline contributes to give a very elegant and charming touch to the dress, above all when worn sleeveless. The silhouette of brides with narrow shoulders and smaller busts will be flattered by this neckline as it creates an illusion of fuller chests when on the contrary brides with larger chests might avoid this option. The same goes for brides who wish to de-emphasise broad shoulders.

12.Queen Anne Neckline:
consists of a high collar in the back and sides of the neck coming round in the front in an open sweetheart neckline shape. This traditional style, originating from Queen Anne’s reign period in the 18th century has a very stylish look. Giving the impression of lengthening the neck, it will convey certain poise and be stunning on almost every bride.

13.Square neckline
As its name suggests, this neckline is cut into a half-square shape with right angle corners.

It is very flattering for most figures. In a similar way to the scoop neckline, this style makes the neck look longer by drawing the eye to the upper part of the body and diminishing hips and waist.
