The boom of the short, modern or vintage dress
In recent years, short wedding dresses have become more and more trendy, and not just for civil weddings. There are models for all tastes, from the vintage look to the ultra chic. And a significant advantage, with a short dress, you will be completely free to move around and show off your pretty legs.If it is ideal for highlighting figure-8 morphologies (generous chest, marked waist and wide hip), be careful to keep a minimum length (a few centimeters above or below the knee, no more). If you are petite, the short wedding dress can lengthen your figure as long as it is paired with high heels.
You can also opt for a sort of consensus by choosing a dress that is short in front and long in the back. A resolutely modern cut.
What color for my wedding dress?
Your answer to this question is: obviously white! Yes but what white? Are you talking about off-white? ivory? nude? optical white? or even colored white? There are as many shades of white as there are skin colors. And precisely, the ideal is to choose your dress (white) that matches your complexion and the color of your hair.
If you are platinum blonde with white skin, opt for optical whites (blanc de blanc), powdery pinks or bluish grays. Conversely, if your hair is brown and your complexion is golden, opt for an ecru, ivory or off-white dress.
