Necklines.

• Square and curved square necklines have become increasingly popular and v-necks have gained a new popularity. These new necklines provide a fresh, open look without risking any "overexposure."
  
  
  
  
  
• Off-shoulder dresses continue to provide a romantic neckline. Some of the more popular off-shoulder gowns feature necklines that come around to the tip of the shoulder.

Sleeves.

• Sleeveless gowns have proven to be very popular, providing the bride a light, summery look. Conversely, with evening gown styles, going sleeveless can help to make a bride appear more glamorous.
  
• Cap sleeves (small fitted sleeves) continue to be a popular alternative to the sleeveless styles.
  
• The newest look in long sleeves is usually narrow and smoothly fitted in . Also, sheer sleeves with little or no trim help to convey a modern look.

Waistline.

• Empire waists remain a very strong trend in wedding gowns because of the way in which they add height to a bride. They help to shift the focus upwards, which works very well on petite brides.
  
  
  
  
  

• The newer style in dresses that have a "drop waist" (a waistline that is 3- to 5-inches below the natural waist) is to feature a straight-across waistline instead of the more traditional basque waists that dip down to a point in the front. This new waistline look gives a gown a more contemporary feel. Next Page.
