A V-waist wedding dress dips to a point below the natural waistline: it refines the silhouette, lengthens the torso and shapes the transition between the corset and the skirt. It is also called a basque waist, and it particularly flatters princess gowns, whose full skirt flows from that point.
From Ricca Sposa, Maorine, in taffeta, has a structured corset with a marked V-waist and an asymmetric draped bodice, while Faurelle, in Dupioni silk, pairs a straight neckline with a V-waist corset. From Katy Corso, Kitty, in floral guipure, has a strapless corset with a basque waist and detachable flared sleeves.
