Anyone, no matter what body type, can wear the scoop

Yesterday was my 20th birthday. My parents bought a beautiful for me several days ago. I put it on happily for the party in the evening. However, it was raining heavily on my way to the hotel where my birthday party would be held. At this time, I saw a grandpa looking quite worried at a crossing. Then I went over and asked if there was any problem. He said that the rain had blocked his way home and it was difficult for him to go across the road by himself. Looking at him, I felt really sympathy. Though I couldn’t wait to be with my friends at the party, I decided I should help the grandpa firstly. I took his arm and put the umbrella over his head. Just when we were about to reach the other side of the road, a car rushed towards us. Fortunately, it pulled off in time. What an emergency! However, my beloved prom dresses was spotted. My heart ached so much that I was almost to cry. I turned back, seeing a peaceful face. That was when I realized everything was worthy. The dirty dress could be cleaned again while life would never come again once we lost it. After we finally crossed the road, I felt so relieved.

There is no doubt that I was late for my own party. I told my parents and friends about the situation on the road. They were all quite supportive. They said that I had grown up and that was what mattered most. Looking at my spotted prom dresses, I smiled. I admit that a perfect birthday party was what I had expected, but nothing could be compared with the happiness from helping others. Perhaps that is the true meaning of growth and the dress also presented another kind of beauty.

Designer Wedding Dress Neckline Cuts

When shopping for long dresses for girls a wedding dress, it is important to be aware of the different neckline cuts that are out there. It is important to remember that different necklines compliment different body types. With so many options currently available, ranging from a sweetheart cut to a strapless look to the off-the-shoulder style, a bride-to-be may not know where to start! If you are in the midst of making a decision on a designer wedding dress, becoming knowledgeable about specific neckline cuts can help you make the right decision.

The Sweetheart

The sweetheart neckline resembles the top half of a pink and black dress heart, hence the name. This neckline is a good option for the fuller-figured bride as it accentuates the chest area. In most cases, the sweetheart neckline has an overlay of sheer material rising above the heart-shape or some subtle piping, both of which give a longer, leaner look to the torso. This effect also makes the neck look longer and more romantic. Brides with a more boyish figure should avoid the sweetheart neckline.

The Strapless

While some brides should avoid the strapless neckline, it does wonders for others. In many cases, the strapless neckline can be paired with the sweetheart neckline or straight neckline which gives the bride the illusion of a smaller figure. Women with broad shoulders should avoid the strapless wedding dress but those with delicate shoulders and collarbones will do quite well with this style.

The Off-the-Shoulder

The off-the-shoulder wedding dress neckline is a very popular one. Just as you would imagine, the neckline starts just below your shoulders and emphasizes the neck, shoulders, and collarbone. The off-the-shoulder neckline has small sleeves that cover the top part of the arm. This neckline is flattering to all figures, but brides with fuller arms or issues with their shoulders should avoid it. This style is ideal for pear-shaped women, and anyone who would want to show off their shoulders.

The Sabrina

The Sabrina neckline, also known as the bateau neckline, is great for brides with a certain body type. This neckline, cut straight across, follows the curve of the collarbone, edging near the tip of the shoulders. The Sabrina is usually accompanied by sleeves though many designers are now pairing it with sleeveless dress styles. Well-endowed women should avoid the Sabrina neckline.

The Portrait

Women with full arms and prominent collarbones may seriously consider the portrait neckline for their wedding dress. Similar to the off-the-shoulder style but with more fabric, the portrait scoops across the shoulders (from tip to tip). If you have an undefined collarbone, this is probably not the neckline for you.

The Scoop

Anyone, no matter what body type, can wear the scoop neckline. It is the ultimate classic style and can be either low or high cut. In many cases, the scoop in the front is complimented by a lower scoop in the back.
