Development trend of wedding dress

Changes in wedding dress styles: The original wedding dress was not very complicated in design. The long skirt with vertical lines, pleated sleeves and low neckline seems to be a replica of the popular clothing style at that time. Silk and satin are the main fabrics of wedding dresses; Later, the style of wedding dress was ankle-length. The front skirt was cut into a straight line, and the back one was decorated with another skirt that mopped the floor. When the bride walks on the red carpet of the church, the skirt that sweeps the floor slowly walks by the carpet, making the bride look like a fairy.

At the beginning of the 20th century, the wedding dress began to shorten, and at the same time, it also had the function of a dance skirt, which made the bride look different at the wedding ball. In the 1930s, popular wedding dresses tended to be tight-fitting, which made the bride more attractive. In the 1940s, simple tailoring, heart-shaped neckline and long-sleeved gloves became a fashion. In the 1960s, the length of wedding dresses was much shorter, and some of them were not much different from miniskirts. Flax and cotton are the most popular raw materials.

The wedding dresses in the 1970s showed strong nostalgia, with long hem, multiple folds and overlapping lace, which were highly decorative and mainly made of soft flesh-colored fabrics. The wedding dress design in 1990s broke the traditional skirt design and absorbed the fashionable design features, and most of the tops were exposed. There are miniskirts and practical wedding dresses in the skirt part, which can be assembled when the bride goes to church during the day or entertains guests and friends at night.
