Front-Slit Wedding Dresses, Fall 2013

The Spring 2013 bridal runways were full of sky-high slits. But for fall, designers left a little more to the imaginination.

A more subtle way to show some leg? Shift your slit from the side to the center so less skin sneaks out while you walk. The lacy opening down the middle of this Monique Lhuillier trumpet gown is the perfect example.

The flowy fabric of this Watters Brides balances out the va-va-voom factor of its slit that stops mid-thigh.
