Aisle Style: Illusion Neckline Wedding Dresses
An illusion neckline is sheer fabric extending from the bodice up to the shoulders or collar bone area. This sheer fabric usually has lace, beads, or embroidered appliques that appear to be extended from the bodice of the dress. It is a very beautiful neckline for a wedding gown.
