So, what is a basque waist? It’s characterized by a bodice that extends down the torso to form a V or U shape, falling below where the natural waist is. This design element creates a breathtaking hourglass figure and adds a regal touch to any wedding day look.

Why Brides are Loving the Basque Waist


Versatile Styles
Whether you dream of a fairytale ball gown or a sleek mermaid dress, the basque waistline can be seamlessly integrated into various bridal styles. It adds a unique flair to any gown, making it a standout choice for fashion-forward brides.

Historical Charm
If you’re inspired by a bridal style that’s vintage-y and Victorian in nature, then you simply must go for a wedding dress with a basque waist! It allows you to embrace the romance of the past, bringing a sense of old world charm and timeless beauty to your wedding day look that will make you feel like royalty.
