Dresses we love: boatneck

Ever since Megan Markle stunned us with her classic bateau-neckline wedding dress, we’ve been loving this regal look.

The bateau or boatneck neckline features a wide, high neckline that follows the natural curve of ones collarbone and traditionally ends at the shoulder points. The style was actually made famous by Audrey Hepbrun in the 1954 film Sabrina, thus earning the nickname ‘Sabrina neckline’.

Bateau necklines give an effortlessly vintage and classic feel, perfect for the timeless bride. Here are a few of our favourites:

The higher neckline has allowed me to bring elegance and modernity to a single style.
