最近选婚纱时看到的tips觉得很有帮助,也许选其它礼服时也适用,和大家分享一下.


OFF-THE-SHOULDER
Just like the name implies, this neckline sits below the shoulders, with sleeves that cover part of the upper arm. "The prettiest thing about an off-the-shoulder gown is being able to see the woman's collarbone and shoulders," says gown designer Janell Berte. "It's really feminine and sexy."
While this style is super-flattering to medium or full-chested women, Berte says an off-the-shoulder neckline will look good on almost all figures. If you've got fuller arms and are uncomfortable with baring your shoulders, though, you may wan to consider a portrait neckline.
Good for: Full-chested and pear-shaped women
Bad for: Broad shoulders, fuller arms

PORTRAIT
Similar to an off-the-shoulder style but made with more fabric, the portrait neckline is characterized by a wide, soft scoop from the tip of one shoulder to the tip of the other.
Good for: Fuller arms and prominent collarbones
Bad for: Undefined collarbones

SWEETHEART
The sweetheart neckline -- which is actually shaped like the top half of the heart -- is a wonderful option for fuller-chested women. "It really accentuates the decolletage," says Berte. The sweetheart is often done with an overlay of sheer material that rises higher than the heart shape, "giving the torso a longer line, and making the neck look longer."
Good for: Serious decolletage
Bad for: The decolletage-impaired

SABRINA/BATEAU
A very current look, this shape gently follows the curve of the collarbone, almost to the tip of the shoulders -- and it's cut straight across, so less of the decolletage is showing. "It's very nice without sleeves," notes Berte.
Good for: Small breasts
Bad for: The well-endowed

HALTER/HIGH NECK
The halter features straps that wrap around the back of the neck, or a high neck with deep armholes. Both look best on broad shoulders. And if you've got those, "It doesn't really matter how big your bust is," says Berte. "Though taller women -- 5'7" and up -- look best in this style."
Good for: Broad shoulders
Bad for: Narrow shoudlers

SCOOP
The scoop, a U-shaped neckline, is a classic. "Very Jackie O.," says Berte. It can be cut low, and quite often, the scoop will continue on the back of the dress.
Good for: Just about anyone

JEWEL
Also known as the "T-shirt neckline," due to it's similarity to an actual t-shirt -- the jewel neckline is round and sits at the base of the throat. "This look is usually for a more conservative bride," explains Berte.
Good for: Small-chested woman (it will make you look bustier)
Bad for: Large-chested women (it will make you look bustier, too)

V-NECK
The name says it all -- the neckline dips down in the front -- and sometimes in the back as well -- in a "V" shape, de-emphasizing the bustline.
Good for: B or C cups
Bad for: Anyone bigger or smaller

STRAPLESS
Very popular this season, the strapless neckline features, in essence, no straps. It looks wonderful when paired with either a sweetheart or straight-across square bodice.
Good for: Great shoulders and collarbones
Bad for: The smaller-chested woman

A FINAL NOTE
Even if you think you know which neckline will look best on you, try to keep an open mind when shopping for your gown. Something that looks great in a picture may not be right for your figure, while something you thought you didn't like could turn out to be perfect. "Even as professionals, we're often surprised," Berte admits. "We have guidelines we follow regarding what might look best on a certain woman. But sometimes, the rules just don't apply."
