This unique silhouette is all about drama and elegance, with a fitted bodice that dips into a V or U shape at the front, creating the illusion of a longer torso. Originally popular in the Victorian era (yes, we’re going way back), the basque waist made its grand debut in bridal fashion in the late ‘80s and ‘90s, and now, it’s back and better than ever!

There’s something undeniably magical about this silhouette. The basque waist has a way of flattering the figure, cinching the waist, and adding a touch of fairytale romance to any gown.
