The Basque Waist: The Elegant Bridal Trend Brides Are Loving
If you're searching for an elegant wedding dress that feels both timeless and contemporary, look no further than the rising bridal trend that’s capturing hearts across the bridal world: the Basque waist.

What is a Basque Waist?
A Basque waist features a bodice that dips into a V-shape at the front (and sometimes at the back), elongating the torso and cinching in the waist for a flattering, sculpted look. Popular in historical fashion and revived by couture designers, the Basque waist is now being reimagined in stunning, modern wedding dresses — and our curated collection at Lyra Bridal in Salisbury showcases some of the best.
