This Risqué Wedding Dress Trend Is Going To Be BIG In 2018

Blame Dior (or maybe Kim Kardashian…), but the naked dress has moved beyond the runway and red carpet, and onto the aisle.

At least, it has according to Australian bridal label Grace Loves Lace, who have launched a brand new, ‘naked’ wedding dress design in response to demand. The ‘Alexandra’ design features white lace with a nude underlay to give a barely-there ‘naked’ effect.

“The nude-tone lining is definitely for the more adventurous and untraditional woman and also a great second dress option for the reception or after party,” Grace Loves Lace founder Meghan Ziems told Harper’s Bazaar UK.

ALEXANDRA is one of those gowns that just screams of sophistication. We designed it to have perfect balance - something we really focus on during the design stage. Fully lined aside from the sheer décolletage that highlights the bust and shoulders, the fitted silhouette is a series of play-off's: the centre front split is the perfect way to balance the high neck, and the open back is elongated by the train. The 3D floral French lace with a pearlescent sheen and hand applied lace motifs on every edge give it a textured, opulent finish. So much time, passion and care goes into each design, and each dress is then handmade in our Australian studio and delivered worldwide | stylist@graceloveslace.com.au #graceloveslace #theuniquebride

For everyone else, she says “the women wanting a fresh and more minimal look will still lean toward the ivory/white linings.”
