Bridal Fashion: Halter Wedding Dresses

There's something about wedding gowns with a halter neck that's both sexy and sophisticated at the same time! Perhaps it all started with Marilyn Monroe's infamous white halter dress in the Seven-Year Itch..

"Halter necks are flattering on any figure - they create the illusion of a wider bust line, narrower waist, and pair perfectly with anything from a sleek, long skirt to a pouffy, short skirt."..
