Christian Dior revolutionized fashion in 1947 with his “New Look”, a 180 turn out of the gray days of fashion following WWII. Once restrictions lifted on fabric post war, Dior had the freedom to introduce the hourglass silhouette, showing off a cinched waist atop skirts flowing in yards of silks and layers of crinoline. Recently this defined waist has made a come back and brides are loving it.
A ball gown can be as romantic a confection as those seen in the corps de ballet, flowing in swirls of white tulle like the gowns above Thus, sweeping skirts equal sweeping entrances especially awesome on brides who know how to work their strut.
Chantilly lace under shirred tulle makes for a delicate and gossamer look on this bodice. The waist is cinched with a gray satin belt over yards of tulle skirt
