This style of neckline usually leaves the upper back uncovered. Halter necklines are fantastic for showcasing a bride\u2019s shoulders and drawing the eye upward, which can create a sense of balance in a bridal look.\u00a0<\/mark><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-10 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.maggiesottero.com\/sottero-and-midgley\/rhett\/19714\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"550\" height=\"733\" data-id=\"58124\" src=\"https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Sottero-and-Midgley-Rhett-Sheath-Wedding-Dress-25SK305A01-Alt52-BLS.jpg\" alt=\"Bride wearing Rhett by Sottero and Midgley\" class=\"wp-image-58124\" srcset=\"https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Sottero-and-Midgley-Rhett-Sheath-Wedding-Dress-25SK305A01-Alt52-BLS.jpg 550w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Sottero-and-Midgley-Rhett-Sheath-Wedding-Dress-25SK305A01-Alt52-BLS-250x333.jpg 250w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Sottero-and-Midgley-Rhett-Sheath-Wedding-Dress-25SK305A01-Alt52-BLS-120x160.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.maggiesottero.com\/sottero-and-midgley\/rhett\/19714\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"550\" height=\"733\" data-id=\"58125\" src=\"https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Sottero-and-Midgley-Rhett-Sheath-Wedding-Dress-25SK305A01-Alt50-BLS.jpg\" alt=\"Bride wearing Rhett by Sottero and Midgley\" class=\"wp-image-58125\" srcset=\"https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Sottero-and-Midgley-Rhett-Sheath-Wedding-Dress-25SK305A01-Alt50-BLS.jpg 550w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Sottero-and-Midgley-Rhett-Sheath-Wedding-Dress-25SK305A01-Alt50-BLS-250x333.jpg 250w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Sottero-and-Midgley-Rhett-Sheath-Wedding-Dress-25SK305A01-Alt50-BLS-120x160.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-wedding-dress-sleeves-and-straps\"><strong>Wedding Dress Sleeves and Straps<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Next up, we have wedding dress sleeves and straps!
