The Lecia Bridal look

The gowns fall into three silhouettes. Ball gowns with full skirts include the Suong Ball Gown Maxi Dress, finished with applique, fringe and beads, the Lan Ball Gown Maxi Dress, the Origine Blanc Ball Gown Maxi Dress and the Cloud Ball Gown Gathered Tulle Floor Length Dress. Mermaid cuts that skim the body and flare at the hem include the Van Mermaid Maxi Dress, with a straight-across neckline and draping, the Bridgitte Mermaid Maxi Dress and the Lily Mermaid Sleeveless Duchess Satin Floor Length Dress. The Suong Sheath Maxi Dress is the column option.

Necklines are a recurring detail: the Khue Sweetheart Maxi Dress and the Chieu Sweetheart Maxi Dress, the Khuong Halter Maxi Dress, and the semi-heart neck on the Audrey Tulip Semi-Heart Neck Duchess Satin Midi Dress and the Arianne Sheath Semi-Heart Neck Silk Satin Floor Length Dress. Fabrics named in the titles run from duchess satin, silk satin and taffeta to Chantilly lace, organza and tulle. Most pieces are white.

Capsules and shorter pieces

Three capsules are browsable on their own: Her-Portrait Collection - Lecia Bridal, Petals Fling Collection - Lecia Bridal and Blossom Ballads Collection - Lecia Bridal. The short dresses, such as the Mila A-line Off-Shoulder Chantilly Lace Mini Dress, the Aimee Fit and Flare Sequin Tulle Mini Dress and the Farah Bubble Corset Waist Silk Satin Mini Dress, suit a reception change or a civil ceremony. Accessories are the Aimee Stone Veil, the Irene Bow Veil, the Lalie Gathered Asymmetric Veil, the Jesse Flower Applique Gloves and the Ladonna Gathered See-Through Gloves.

When to wear it

These are wedding gowns first, with the short dresses and sets also bought for cocktail parties, birthdays, Christmas, New Year and honeymoons. Most gowns are sleeveless, strapless or open-shoulder. Brides who want covered arms can add the gloves, choose a long veil, or ask MEAN BLVD about sleeve options before ordering a made-to-order gown.

How do Lecia Bridal gowns fit?

Many gowns are made to order, which is noted on the product page, and fit is close through the bodice with structure in the skirt. Measure bust, waist and hip and compare with the size chart; for mermaid cuts, the hip and knee measurements matter most.

How should I style them?

Keep one point of focus. A heavily appliqued gown wants a plain veil such as the Irene Bow Veil; a clean satin column takes the Jesse Flower Applique Gloves and a statement earring.
