I, for one, am glad that modesty has made a significant comeback in the world of Bridal Couture.
Thanks to Kate Middleton for bringing back a resurgence of interest in sleeves,
higher bodices and dresses that accentuate the waist. These dresses showcase bustlines, waistlines, and hips in ways that bespeak of mystery rather than revealing too much skin!
Case in point:
In case you don't know...that's Grace Kelley on the left and Kate Middleton on the right! |
See what I mean about some of the lovely offerings available to brides:

Priscilla of Boston offers a classic full skirted gown in a
timeless silhouette with lovely sheer sleeves
Monique Lulliler made lace and the corset her trademark...here she uses both to great advantage

And this one is from Alfred Angelo
Truth of the matter is that there are lots of gorgeous gowns for brides who want to combine loveliness with a sense of mystery on their special day |
I agree - I often think that the early Mad Men look, with the fitted on top and loose on the bottom dresses, modest but flattering - are the perfect style! I love Kate Middleton's style, and these bridal gowns are beautiful.
