Choosing a bateau wedding dress
A bateau, or boat neck, neckline runs high and wide, almost straight across from one shoulder to the other just below the collarbone. It covers the chest while showing the line of the neck and shoulders, so it suits brides who want a covered look that still feels open.
More than half the gowns here pair the bateau with long sleeves for a covered, classic look; others have cap or three-quarter sleeves, a cape, straps or no sleeves at all. Most are A-line, with some mermaid shapes, and nearly all list a built-in bra in their details.
Because the neckline sits close to the shoulders, your shoulder and neck measurements matter: they are among the 21 measurements you enter, and our team checks them before production. Made to measure, the gown is delivered within 2.5 cm (1 in) of the measurements you order; a small local adjustment may still be needed. Production takes 8–12 weeks for most gowns and 10–14 or 12–16 weeks for some; each gown's page shows its time. Delivery then takes 1–2 weeks.
What is a bateau neckline?
A high, wide neckline that runs almost straight across from one shoulder to the other, just below the collarbone. It is also called a boat neck. It covers the chest and shows the shoulders and the line of the neck.
What is the difference between a bateau and an off-the-shoulder neckline?
A bateau neckline sits on the shoulders and runs across the collarbone; an off-the-shoulder neckline sits below the shoulders, leaving them bare. Both show the line of the shoulders, and both are often paired with long sleeves.
