While the waists for summer sundresses are
coming up to the bust line, the waists of wedding dresses are dropping. Ali Landry, at her
wedding to Alejandro Monteverde in
Mexico on Saturday, wore a strapless Monique Lhuillier gown with a low, drop-waist. The ivory gown had a full skirt
with hand-sewn layers of organza, tulle and chiffon, similar to this one from the
Spring 2006 runway collection. Drop-waisted dresses are not for everyone, as
their curve-skimming lines are not flattering on every figure. They are perfect for curvy silhouettes and the slim,
curvaceous Landry would have looked stunning in one. Wedding gowns by Lhuillier retail for upwards of $3,500, but the
runway and custom models can go for much more.
