Sweetheart Necklines

May 5th, 2010

I love a good tube dress, but unfortunately the same can’t be said about how they typically look on me. I find the straight-line across the chest far too severe and it’s a slippery slope to the dreaded uniboob.  Enter the sweetheart neckline.  The heart-shaped top is not only flattering, but demure in the most seductive way.  Here are a few of the dresses that have caught my eye this season.


1. Adam Jenna Silk-Blend Bustier Dress, $475
2. Rachel Gilbert Whitney Crystal-Embellished Dress, $1,525
3. Alice by Temperley Scarlet Silk-Blend Dress, $425
4. Topshop Floral Tube Dress, $84
5. By Malene Birger Geelong Crepe Strapless Dress, $450
6. Forever 21 Distorted Floral Sheen Dress, $22.80
7. Anna Sui Embroidered Lace Dress, $470
8. Rebecca Taylor Strapless Silk Floral-Print Dress, $495
9. Tibi Strapless Silk-Georgette Dress, $345

    LOVE the first and the last one. Completely agree about sweetheart necklines being demure yet seductive; it’s why i love them.

    Ooh I love that beautiful blue dress by Tibi… what a stunning shade! And uniboob made me laugh. How have I not heard this expression before? x

    The 4th dress I noticed in the Topshop online store, but I just can’t wear them. Don’t look good on me.
