In the world of fashion, necklines are a girl’s best friend. They set the tone for how she will look in all her outfits and will influence her choice of accessories and shoes. A well-fitting neckline is a foundation for any great look. The goal of this article is to help you choose the neckline that will be the best look for your dress.
Step 1: Choose a Style
First and foremost, you must pick a style for your neckline. There are many neckline styles and here’s the short version:
- Linen
- Modest
- Mid-Mod
- Lace
Keep in mind you do not have to wear a neckline that is simple and plain. You can pair the linen style with a short dress and high heels, or the lace style with a long dress and high heels. Whatever you decide, you want to make a statement, but do it in a way that will complement your dress.
Step 2: Decide on the Length of the Neckline
One of the most important decisions to make is how long your neckline is. The neckline has two parts, the neckband, and the strap.
The neckband is the part of the neckline that is closest to your chin. It is typically a few inches long. You can choose to either wear different types of neckline dresses as part of your dress or drape it over your shoulders and down your back. The strap is a long strip of fabric, usually a few inches wide, that is attached to the neckband on the side that is away from your face.
The neckline you choose will either have a shoulder strap or be a halter style. The strap can be either long or short, depending on your preference.
Step 3: Pick a Fabric
You also need to select the right fabric for the neckline. There are many types of fabric, but each has its own attributes.
Silk
This is the classic fabric for necklines. It looks and feels luxuriously soft and the draping is soft as well. Silk is typically more expensive than other fabrics. It also requires special care to maintain its softness and drape.
Organza
This fabric is like silk but has a finer weave and a smoother drape. It has a look and feels similar to satin. Organza is typically less expensive than silk.
Tulle
Tulle is a very lightweight fabric that has a very fine drape. It is meant to be used in small, lightweight items like necklaces because it will easily move with you as you move.
Step 4: Pick a Dress
This is the most important decision. The dress you choose must fit your measurements and be the right style and color for your neckline. This is the most important decision because everything else will fall into place.
Step 5: Choose the Perfect Neckline
If you have decided on the style and the length of your neckline, then it is time to make your choice. Once you know what type of neckline you are going to wear, you can start thinking about what accessories you are going to need to complete your look.
Whether you are looking to impress a special someone or just to fit in, these tips will help you find the perfect fit.
