{Can’t Afford It/Get Over It} Illusion Necklines

February 22nd, 2011 by Britt

Reader Lona sent in a CAI/GOI request for this particular dream dress: Priscilla of Boston, Style 4509.  She wrote: “I can’t seem to find anything with quite as much drama as the neckline provides.  Lots of similar silhouettes, but that neckline!!!!  Please help!!!”

First and foremost: Lona’s got taste. I think adding drama to the neckline is a great way to make your look unique… Here are a few gowns that will have you saying, “Girl, that neckline is playing tricks on me… but I like it!”

    This was a great post! As a bride who's also thoroughly obsessed with that POB gown, I have spent a lot of time looking for less expensive alternatives. One that's definitely noteworthy is this little number by Mon Cheri: http://moncheribridals.com/item/?i=111206&col…

    I love illusion necklines. They're so glamorous!

    Just an idea: If you want an illusion neckline dress with that bling like in the original, get one of the plain ones and then pick up a sparkly bib necklace (www.sammoon.com has some great cheap options) and have your seamstress remove the chain and attach the pendents to the neckline of your dress :)

    Oh, how I adored that POB dress! I'd actually like to add two more to the "get over it" list, both by Alfred Angelo:
