A wedding dress should emphasize the beauty of the bride and the solemnity of the moment. On X-Day, all eyes and camera lenses are directed at the newlyweds, so every little detail is important, carefully planned almost a year before the event.. Vera Wang creates perfect masterpieces that have become the dream of millions of girls around the world.. Judging by the photographs, the masterpiece can only be worn on a perfect body with a wasp waist. What about us, are we ordinary people?
A little about the magician herself
Her biography is not distinguished by Brazilian passions and unexpected twists of fate, but demonstrates an example of how talent finds its way, placing it on a pedestal. Vera Wang, the daughter of Chinese immigrants, was born in 1949 in New York. The purposeful girl studied ballet and figure skating, and studied at the Sorbonne at the art school. It didn’t work out with professional sports, but the woman still skates in search of inspiration and relaxation amid the hustle and bustle of life.
Only in 2007 did Vera Wang have a rival, Monique Lhuillier, who was truly able to provide worthy competition.
Her innate impeccable taste helped her become a senior editor at the popular Vogue magazine at the age of 23.. The doors of the best designers' houses opened for her. In 1987, she changed her job to Ralph Lauren and absolutely nothing foreshadowed global changes.
The impetus was the upcoming wedding with Arthur Becker in 1989. That’s when we had to face the well-known problem of all brides - there was nothing in the stores that would fit and please them! Like any other girl in such a situation, she turns to the dressmaker. The bride buys expensive natural fabric and draws her “dream dress,” which came to life thanks to the skillful hands of a seamstress. The work cost about $10,000, but it was a huge success! The entrepreneurial spirit suggested that a huge niche of exclusive and magnificent outfits for demanding female representatives, and these are the majority of us, is empty.
My father helped open the first boutique; ready-made options were displayed there, but then creativity came into play, and my own lines of luxurious outfits were born. Soon her collections conquered Hollywood. When American stars appeared in them at weddings, any item from the boutique became the dream of millions of women around the world.
Such style icons as Victoria Beckham and Jennifer Aniston appeared in wedding dresses from Vera.
What is the secret of success?
Silk, satin, lace, sophisticated lines and a thin belt at the waist have become the hallmark of the Vera Wang brand. Looking at the photographs, you understand that the American woman with Chinese roots really has excellent taste and sense of proportion: no crazy frills and kilometers of incomprehensible material.
I can talk about the magnificence of Wong’s models and sincerely admire them for a very long time, Therefore, I will highlight the main advantages of its models:
- Only natural and expensive fabrics are purchased for sewing.
- Each creation is in a single copy; no matter how hard you try, you won’t be able to find a high-quality exact duplicate! Exclusivity is guaranteed.
- Originality, tenderness, chic and elegance in one bottle. There is nothing superfluous, neither in details nor in cut.
- All elements are cut out and stitched by hand under strict quality control.
- You can find an outfit for every taste! The salons offer various solutions for the most demanding and capricious clients.
- The designer’s approach to creating new lines is also interesting. She boldly experiments with color; she even has a collection of black dresses that has won the hearts of millions.
There are references in various sources that Wong is very fond of black.
The prices are high, but it's justified; we pay for quality and exclusivity.
Why can't everyone wear a Vera Wang dress?
Remembering my favorite film “Bride Wars”, I would like to quote that it is not the dress that is adjusted to the bride, but the bride to the dress. You have to pay for uniqueness. When ordering an outfit with a big name that fits your figure, you should carefully monitor your diet! Not a single bride will then dare to loosen the clear waistline and re-stitch it, losing authenticity. Beauty requires sacrifice, we all know this, and exclusivity even more so!
It is difficult to find and buy it; it is better to contact Vera Wang boutiques directly. Judging by information from the official website, wedding dresses are sold in Germany, Italy and the USA.Of course, people have long understood the demand and are starting to offer replicas, making similar models from photographs on the Internet, they can be adjusted to suit any budget and figure, but this is no longer Vera Wang! Even from the photographs there are noticeable differences, not to mention the fabrics.
Unfortunately, for many women, a real wedding dress from a celebrity remains only in their dreams, but with due perseverance, there are no unattainable goals. If you really want it, then everything is in your hands!

I just don’t understand why, from the author’s point of view, these slender girls are abnormal??? I'm tired of these double standards: everywhere I come across the same thing - there are thin people, and there are “normal” ones. It turns out that thin girls are now considered abnormal, so what? And where is your vaunted body positivity and tolerance? I’m thin and articles like this offend me.
Secondly, it’s terribly annoying that today they like to condemn couturiers so much for saying that they only sew on skinny people. Let me remind you: a couturier is an artist and he is not obliged to bend to the wishes of the crowd. sees only reeds in his outfit - his right.
I support Yulia.Moreover, in the photographs the girls have a completely standard-slim figure, especially for their age, but for some time now they have been “thin” = “not like that.” If in your understanding an ordinary lady is 160/80, then... I don’t know. It's a pity.
And yes, there are designs that are not intended for sizes other than small ones at all. The same works by Haider Ackermann, for example. And there is nothing terrible about it. Now most of the clothes are made into rectangles with a waist of 70-75 in size S, although this is already M/L. Leave something for the skinny.
