Vintage Remade: Illusion Necklines

The sheer beauty of the illusion neckline ...  another wedding trend offering a nod to the past. Kate rocked a royal one. Audrey Hepburn rocked one at the Oscars. And of course, we're seeing these lovelies pop up in wedding gowns for spring 2012. Why so popular? I think it's because the sheer coverage around the neckline, shoulders and arms is sexy yet modest at the same time. And, no sliding like you'd have with a strapless dress. A perfect combination.

What do you think of illusion neckline gowns? Love them or leave them in the past?
