Most of these wedding dresses had a full skirt and were often made to appear even fuller with a slip made of crinoline or some other stiffer material, and often a hoop underskirt. This gave the appearance of fullness in the skirt and a small waist. A tiny waist was the ultimate goal.
The dresses were often decorated with faux pearls and sequins. Sleeves were long or short, but usually fitted. Scoop necklines were very popular. Silk and satin were usually used for the material in the skirt and often taffeta for the bodice.
