About sweetheart neck blouse design
A sweetheart neck has two curves over the bust that meet in a small dip at the centre, like the top of a heart. It is a dressy, feminine neck seen often on party wear, bridal blouses and lehenga cholis. When it is well fitted it flatters most bust sizes, and it looks best on a long neck and an hourglass or pear-shaped figure. Because the shape sits right over the bust, the fit matters more than the fabric or the work.
Tips for sweetheart neck blouse design
- Ask for a princess-cut blouse with padding or cups. The two curves need a firm base or they fall flat.
- Keep the centre dip at about 6.5 to 7.5 inches. A deeper sweetheart needs a very close fit to stay in place.
- Cap sleeves, sheer net sleeves or no sleeves keep the look light and let the neckline stand out.
- Edge the curves with piping, a thin border or a row of pearls so the heart shape is clear from a distance.
Questions people ask
Does a sweetheart neck suit a heavy bust?
It can, if the blouse is well fitted with cups and the dip is not too deep. A very low sweetheart on a heavy bust needs firm support.
Which saree suits a sweetheart neck?
Net, georgette, organza and light silk sarees, and lehengas too. On heavy silk, edge the curves with a border so the shape still shows.
Which necklace goes with a sweetheart neck?
A choker or a short, curved necklace that sits above the dip. A long haar hangs into the dip and hides the heart shape.
