For Your Wedding: Traditional Gowns

by Amy Nebens

Even the most modern bride finds these graceful, classic gowns irresistible. Laid out before you is every type of silhouette from A-line to ballerina to empire; necklines (including high, jewel, off the shoulder, and the appropriately named sweetheart); and sleeve. Enticing fabrics range from silk and satin to chiffon, organdy, and lace. Of course, there are many traditional embellishments and trains, too—and tips on shopping and restoring an heirloom dress to perfection.
