The Basque Drop Waist Trend: A Bridal Silhouette We’re Loving at Marcella’s Bridal

If you’ve been exploring bridal trends for 2025, there’s one silhouette that’s making a graceful and romantic comeback: the Basque drop waist. At Marcella’s Bridal, we’re loving this timeless trend—not only for its elegance, but for how beautifully flattering it is on so many brides.

The basque waist is known for its dramatic, V-shaped drop that elongates the torso and highlights the natural curves of the waist and hips. It’s the perfect blend of structured sophistication and soft romance, giving brides a corset-inspired silhouette that feels both modern and classic. This style adds subtle drama to a gown while maintaining a feminine, graceful feel. We offer a range of gowns at Marcella’s Bridal that incorporate this beautiful design. 

Lately, some of our favorite celebrity brides have also been loving the drop waist trend. Demi Lovato recently wore a stunning drop waist gown at her wedding featuring a structured corset bodice and an off-the-shoulder neckline. Alex Cooper wore a gown with a basque waist and internal corset for her wedding to Matt Kaplan, describing it as her dream dress that made her feel classic, chic, and timeless. Brooke Sansone also made a fashionable statement with a gown that featured a flattering drop waist design. It’s clear that this trend is having a major moment in weddings seen around the world.

We believe that a gown should highlight some of your favorite features, and the drop waist design can do just that. If you're drawn to this look, we’d love to show you our favorite drop waist gowns during your appointment. Don’t miss the chance to try this gorgeous trend on for yourself—it might just be the dress moment you’ve been waiting for.
