How to Recognize Wedding Dress Trends for 2009
- 1). Look at figure-hugging dresses. 2009 called for more sexy wedding dresses that formed to the feminine figure. These dresses are simple chic and could easily be used for standard evening gowns.
- 2). Notice the '50s-style dresses. This is a trend that also came out of 2009. These dresses feature belted waists, wide open chest designs and strong attention to the neckline.
- 3). Pay attention to mermaid-style wedding gowns. In 2009, many dresses were tight to the figure from the chest to the knee. Below the knee, the dress fans out to a wide bell, almost like a mermaid's fin.
- 4). Admire the selection of tea-length dresses. This was a popular option for nontraditional-style weddings. These dresses are slightly less formal, and generally feature open shoulders and ribbon belts.
- 5). Study the ballgown styles. This style made its resurfacing in 2009. These dresses are made to push you into the shape you desire, and can be adjusted to accentuate your hips, breasts, shoulders or stomach.
