Wedding dresses with lace

Take a few steps away from the mirror: in a lace dress, the scale and direction of the pattern are the first to be read. A small repeat turns into a texture up close, and a large floral motif leads the eye through the bodice and skirt. The terrain catches side light and creates soft shadows; beads or embroidery add individual highlights. Therefore, the same lace should be seen both in daylight and in the photo.

The pattern should work together with the cut

The pattern does not exist separately from the silhouette. On A-silhouettes it can accompany the transition from a bodice to a flared skirt, and in mermaids — repeat the line of the adjacent cut before the beginning of expansion. The case leaves the motif a long, continuous plane, the ball shape leaves a wider space on the skirt. However, no scale belongs to just one silhouette: it's important to trace where the seam or crease interrupts the flower and how the pattern meets the waist.

In the upper part, lace is often combined with heart-shaped cut, open shoulders or a high neck. In one case, the pattern forms the edge of the neckline, in the other, it fills a more closed plane near the neck. Floral motif already sets the direction of the gaze; when beads and embroidery are added to it, evaluate not the amount of decoration, but whether the silhouette remains clear and where exactly the main accent occurs.

Lace is a broad category of different patterns, bases and ways of placement on a dress. Chantilly is only one of its varieties, so you should not transfer the impression from it to all lace models. Compare each dress in full length, in a portrait shot, and on your phone in different lighting; separately inspect the joints of the motif on the bodice and the back. IN catalogs of CRYSTAL wedding dresses you can first select options that are similar in silhouette, and only then compare the nature of their lace.
