The Basque Waist Wedding Dress Trend & Our Most-Requested Gown Yet
Some silhouettes resurface in new ways – more refined, relevant, and flattering than ever before. The Basque waist is one of those styles that returns with intention, evolving into something both nostalgic and sharply modern. With long, sculpting lines that dip with purpose, it cinches, lengthens, and frames the body with ease.
The Basque-Waist Gown of Your Dreams
Brides today gravitate towards detail-driven silhouettes that feel vintage-inspired, sculpted, and unique – and the Basque waist delivers all three. Its elongated lines create a natural focal point that flatters the waist and hips for a snatched look.
Our newest arrival, Vittoria, is a design that answers your most frequent request: a perfected Basque-waist gown, made timeless in the Grace way. Something structured, architectural, and unmistakably romantic. And now, she’s here. A full-circle A-line gown with a sharp Basque waist and pleated cat-eye bodice that perfectly blends precision with presence and romance with edge.
How Structure Evolved with Us
From day one, Grace Loves Lace set out to challenge what bridal could be. Our earliest collections broke the rules, featuring stretch fits, no boning, and no corsetry, creating gowns that allowed women to move and dance freely. As we grew, our innovation evolved with us. We introduced built-in shapewear, flexible boning, and construction techniques that supported the body without ever restricting it. The intention has always been the same: comfort first and confidence always.
Vittoria is the culmination of that journey – a balance of architecture and ease, crafted to sculpt without restriction with internal flexi boning while still feeling effortlessly lightweight to move in.
