Christian Dior Bridal Dress

Interesting decision of the bride's dressproposed by the famous fashion designer. He replaced long retro-style dresses with an elegant ankle-opening bridal gown. This innovation, called "maxi", won fantastic popularity among brides in its time. If you look closely at the silhouette, you can notice one characteristic feature that distinguishes each such wedding dress (it is important to preserve this feature in retro style). The couturier used an hourglass silhouette: a very fitted bodice and a wide fluffy skirt. In this outfit, the girl looks unusually feminine and elegant. In addition, this style allows you to remove many figure flaws and reveal to the public the elegance of wedding shoes, which is rarely possible for brides in long dresses. The skirts are made up of several layers of fabric - this gives them fluffiness and makes them look like a bell.
