What is a drop waist?
A drop waist dress is a style where the waistline is significantly lowered, resting around the hips rather than the natural waistline. This design elongates the torso, creating a sleek and balanced silhouette.
Drop waistlines have made a huge comeback in the bridal world. And we love the return of a classic look! For the bride looking for a modern spin on a vintage style, a drop waist wedding dress could be for you.
