A corset or strapless wedding dress is all about its structured bodice: a sweetheart neckline, a boned corset, a top that stays in place on its own without straps. It's the bodice that shapes the waist, and it's where most of the embroidery and lacework is concentrated.<\/p>\n
A strapless bodice is simply a fitted top without straps. A corset is boned: vertical bones structure the bust and define the waist, sometimes with lacing at the back to fine-tune the fit. A corset gives more support; a strapless bodice is easier to wear all day.<\/p>\n
Several of our designs feature a sheer corset in tulle or lace<\/a>, with visible boning. It's a recent, instantly recognisable look that gives you the structure of a corset without its opacity. These designs also appear among our modern and unique wedding dresses<\/a>.<\/p>\n A strapless dress should be judged sitting down as much as standing up, and with your arms raised. Corset lacing allows for adjustments, which the boutique will fine-tune for you. This is the kind of dress where the fitting matters most: find a stockist near you<\/a> and ask which designs they carry.<\/p>","link":"https:\/\/www.ellebeline.com\/en\/wedding-dresses\/corset-strapless\/","name":"Corset & strapless wedding dresses","slug":"corset-strapless","taxonomy":"product_cat","parent":508,"meta":[],"menu_order":0,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ellebeline.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat\/522","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ellebeline.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ellebeline.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/product_cat"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ellebeline.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat\/508"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ellebeline.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product?product_cat=522"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}What to check at your fitting<\/h2>\n
