A strapless dress with a high low hemline is an ideal choice for countless wedding occasions and celebrations. We especially love this style choice when the silhouette features clean design lines in a structured fabric - think Michelle Dockery's gorgeous Oscar de la Renta dress for the 2014 Golden Globes. It allows the skirt to flow beautifully and highlights a pair of gorgeous stilettos to perfection (or a signature silver lining...).
Likewise, our Meredith Black and White Dress combines two of our favorite iconic dresses--the little white dress and the little black dress--to create the perfect dress for the modern bride to wear to her Engagement Party, Couples Shower and Engagement Photos.
Featuring a beautifully tailored Jet Black Strapless Bodice and an elegant tiered Oyster-hued skirt with a structured hem detail, this Little Black and White Cocktail Dress guarantees a dramatic entrance...and exit. As seen in the photo above, it photographs beautifully, adding one more perfect silhouette to the modern bride's white dress repertoire. A dress to live a dream in...

The tradition of wearing white wedding gowns has both historical and cultural roots. Queen Victoria is often credited with popularizing the white wedding dress in the 19th century when she married Prince Albert in a white gown.

Wondering how to find your perfect fit in wedding gowns? Typically wedding dress sizes can be different from regular clothing sizes. Wedding dress sizing often follows its own set of sizing charts, and may differ from one bridal designer or brand to another. Wedding dress sizes often run smaller than regular clothing sizes, meaning that a bride may need to choose a wedding dress size that is larger than her usual size.
