Wiggle In a Pencil Wedding Dress

For years a traditional wedding dress had always been full length or calf length until the fabulous 1950s which brought with it full swing skirts and nipped in waists. Dior was at the fore front of the fashion revolution when he designed pencil dresses which concentrated on bringing the eye to the woman hips rather than waist. This was an era of glamour and designed to celebrate the female form. It wasn’t long until the pencil wedding dress designs became popular.

These dresses are elegant and timeless and create a sort of wiggle when you walk. The hemline is tapered below the knee and this style has been adopted by many an old Hollywood starlet. So we’ve got wonderful pencil short wedding dress designs in our boutique and want to show you a few here:

Darcie by Timeless Chic is a beautiful satin knee length wedding dress is so elegant and classic.  The strapless bodice has a wonderful sweetheart neckline and a matching bolero jacket. It’s a look that can change from day to evening and anywhere in-between
