Generally, people focus on the skirt of a
ball gown more than the bodice. In fact, bodice is also a very important part
for a ball gown. Elaborate bodice design can also make a ball gown attractive. Today,
let’s see what the designer does usually to stand out a ball gown bodice.
First: Beads and Sequins
What we see commonly on a ball gown bodice
must be shinning beads and sequins. Sparkling beaded accents and sequins can
make the bodice dazzle your eyes. This is really a good way to add brilliance
to the bodice.
Second: Handmade Flowers and Bows
Handmade flowers and bows are often used to
decorate ladies’ dresses. A floral accent or bow detail on the bodice
absolutely will draw some attentions for the ball gown. If the accent is
oversized or the quantity is enough, the ball gown must be more eye-catching. However,
the size or quantity should not be too exaggerated. Otherwise, the ball gown will
look alternative.
Third: Lace and Appliqués
Lace is always used to beautify the ball
gown bodice, usually as overlay, which is also pretty and outstanding. If the
bodice is adorned with luxuriant appliqués, I believe the ball gown must be
more elegant and attractive.
