What is a bateau neckline?
The “bateau”—also known as a boat neck, is a classic style that is perfect for emphasizing your collarbones and neck area. The chic cut is slightly elongated and slightly dips from shoulder to shoulder. Some gowns feature tip-of-the-shoulder iterations, and others may stop just past the shoulder’s midway point.
The elegant vibe of a bateau neckline can work with sleeved gowns or sleeveless styles in a variety of silhouettes, making it super versatile. Some of our favorite bateau wedding dresses are from Mikaella, who has taken the cut to a modern meets royal vibe that is undeniably chic! Which of the below styles is your favorite?
