Updated on February 3, 2017
These gorgeous gowns show off just the right amount of skin.
The coolest way for a bride to wear an illusion gown? Paired with gorgeous texture!
For our February/March issue, our fashion team checked in to the recently renovated Ritz Paris to photograph our favorite styles and silhouettes.
Whether you've envisioned yourself in a slim sheath, an A-line, a mini, or anything else, we've got you covered. (But seriously, though. These illusion dresses show off the perfect amount of skin: not too much and not too little.)
