The Sweetheart Neckline

The sweetheart neckline is literally shaped like the top of a heart. It is one of the most popularly worn necklines. Especially for evening and bridal-wear.

The curved shape emphasises the shape of the bust, creating a flattering look for women. Most designers have used the shape at some point in their careers. Designers that particularly like the sweetheart neckline include: Roberto Cavalli, Vivienne Westwood, Giorgio Armani and Donatella Versace.

The sweetheart neckline is regularly used on corsets as the definition of the bust works beautifully with the nipped-in waist.
The sweetheart neckline is also very popular with brides. It is the most popular neckline shape in corseted wedding dresses and is worn either strapless or with straps.

As well as on wedding dresses the sweetheart neckline appears on the red carpet all the time. The feminine shape is timeless.
