A straight silhouette is a great alternative to a wedding dress for those who want to emphasize their figure but want to do it in a relaxed way. A wedding gown in a straight silhouette, or as they are also called sheath dresses, is more body-hugging than an A-line silhouette, but noticeably looser than a mermaid dress. Such dresses flatter the figure beautifully and are often made of refined fabrics, such as silk, satin, mikado, and lace.
Usually, such dresses completely or partially lack a train. These styles often are more minimalistic and simple, not overly adorned giving a very elegant and sharp look, exuding timeless chic. A straight silhouette dress will be an ideal option for a civil ceremony or as a second look for a party if you’re more of a ball gown girl.
The desire to have a wedding gown without a train is usually the main reason to get a style in a straight silhouette. Some brides don’t consider wedding dresses with a train, because it can restrict movement and be quite impractical. If you seek the bridal gown without a train for convenience but still crave to have that sophisticated glam moment at the ceremony – you can choose a straight-cut wedding dress with a detachable train or a long lush overskirt.
Straight wedding gowns by Milla Nova boast a huge variety of styles: we have both long straight dresses, midi-length, and mini styles. For additional playfulness, we offer options with and without a slit – even if the original design comes without a slit, you can add it without any hassle, and vice versa.
Offering sheath wedding dresses with different types of sleeves: with long sleeves, off-the-shoulder sleeves, strapless, on wide straps, on thin straps, and even with removable sleeves – we cater to the diverse tastes of our brides.
