22 Sultry Wedding Dresses With a Slit
We all want to feel beautiful on our wedding day, but finding a wedding dress that strikes the perfect balance between a traditional bridal look and subtle sex appeal is, in a word, tricky. Enter: wedding dresses with a slit—a modern bridal dress silhouette that allows you to have your cake and eat it too.
Not only does a wedding dress with a slit give you the opportunity to show off your legs (and your wedding shoes!), but it also provides ample movement—a must if you're planning a beach or garden wedding. A high slit also adds a lovely modern touch to more traditional bridal looks (think ball gown, high-neck and princess wedding dress styles).
Whether you're shopping for a sultry evening dress, a flirty party dress for a civil ceremony, or the ball gown of your dreams, there's a wedding dress with a slit for every kind of bridal style. We've rounded up some of our favorite wedding dresses with a slit from recent bridal collections below.
