Cuts and Textures: An Opening for Every Style
The latest collections from the big houses add openings in all kinds of silhouettes. The most traditional cur for an open skirt is the A-line silhouette, as it is easy to distinguish the cut between the pleats of the model. The straight cut allows more freedom to play with the height and width of the openings, while in mermaid cut wedding dresses, the openings are usually a little less obvious, but no less aesthetic.
Brides who wish to wear this type of model can be guided by the type of mood they are going for their wedding. The bulkier styles, such as classic princess cut wedding dresses, may be more appropriate for traditional weddings and even elegant parties, as the play of the opening with the fullness of the skirt is usually chic and delicate. The more fluid the texture of the skirt, the more appropriate it may be to wear it at outdoor events, such as bohemian weddings or garden parties.

A low volume A-line is perfect for a civil wedding, while a straight cut with a stiff texture is ideal for a cocktail party.
