Drop waist wedding dresses are a type of bridal gown that features a distinct waistline that sits lower on the hips, typically just above or at the hips. This style of wedding dress has a fitted bodice that transitions into a flared or full skirt, creating a dramatic and elongated silhouette.
Drop waist wedding dresses have been popular for decades, and were particularly fashionable during the 1920s. Today, designers continue to create modern interpretations of this style, incorporating intricate beadwork, lace and other embellishments.
