Meet the Charlotte wedding dress, one of the hottest gowns from Locket (formerly known as Wtoo) by Watters.
Locket is a collection of dresses focused on romantic, feminine gowns that make a statement. Charlotte is the epitome of that. She is a dream dress inspired by upcoming trends, designed for the modern bride, and has taken the internet by storm. This is one of the most requested gowns in our store.
Romantic Bohemian Wedding Dresses
Charlotte is a mix of a bohemian vintage and old money. Her stunning lace design, delicate embellishments, and old school charm vibe is offset by a plethora of modern details.
Charlotte is the perfect choice for brides leaning toward fashion-forward styles:
- Soft a-line silhouette
- Strapless neckline
- Corset-style Basque-waist bodice
- Dreamy Chantilly lace
- Plunging neckline
- Textural accents like eyelash lace detail and ethereal lace layering
- Looks like separates
This full lace look never goes out of style. Intricate lace like Chantilly, Venice, Alençon, etc., are luxury fabrics. They work for our free-spirited brides as well as the most traditional and formal. 2026 is going to have many brides looking for all-lace bridal gowns.
The Basque Waist Corset Bodice
The first detail you will notice is that the gown looks like separates!
The Basque waist bodice lays atop the skirt for a very sharp and defined waistline, yet the full gown is actually still one piece. The dramatic basque is a style that we’ve seen growing in popularity over the past year. A deep plunge helps to elongate the torso while subtle exposed boning assists in both sculpting the waistline and providing bust support. The neckline and plunge are lined with delicate eyelash lace trim, which gives the gown a slightly vintage vibe.
The back of the bodice features a lace-up corset with a delicate lace so as to not overwhelm the gown or any of the incredible details. Dresses with lace up backs provide impeccable fits and snatched waistlines!
Chantilly Lace and A-Line Silhouette
Charlotte is made in the most classic bridal silhouettes: A-line. The A-line shape flatters every body type, and brides will be able to dance all night long without feeling restricted. The intricate Chantilly lace rests on top of a layer of horsehair in the skirt. This layer of horsehair helps maintain the a-line shape.
Versions Of The Locket Charlotte Wedding Dress
If the plunge neck is a little low for you, meet Charlotte modest.
If you love Charlotte but not looking at A-line gowns, meet Claire, Charlotte’s modern boho fitted design!
Of course we are size inclusive. We have all of these versions available for try on, in regular and plus sizes, at Darianna® Bridal & Tuxedo!
Train and Color Options For The Charlotte Wedding Dress
Charlotte has a chapel-length train which is perfect for walking down the aisle and also makes for an easy bustle. Extensions of the train are possible as customizations if you want a longer, more dramatic train. The eyelash lace that trims the neckline and plunge on the bodice also decorates the hem of the skirt and train.
This wedding gown is featured online and in-store in ivory lace with blush underlay colorway. It can also be ordered in full ivory for brides wanting a more subtle or traditional look. However you decide to make Charlotte your own, rest assured that you picked a dress that will withstand the test of time and garner many compliments on the best day of your life!
Bridal Accessories For Charlotte From Wtoo Locket
Part of the charm of the Charlotte gown is that you really do not need to add too much to accessorize it! The soft, all-over lace adds so much detail that adding much more would begin to take away from the dress itself.
The perfect veil for Charlotte would be a raw edge French tulle or English netting veil. This would solidify the bridal look without adding or taking away from a gown so stunning. Another way to accessorize Charlotte would be through jewelry, and pearls are the perfect way to polish off a look so elegant on your wedding day! We think a pair of dangling pearl earrings or a bracelet are the ideal accompaniment to complete the bridal look.
Venues and Seasons For The Charlotte Wedding Dress
She’s the perfect dress for very romantic and delicate vibes while still being classically bridal. Her floral pattern within the lace makes her a perfect fit for spring and summer weddings. If brides order her with the blush lining color, she is also a fabulous choice for fall weddings as well.
Charlotte has a elegant look and touch of glamour to her, so she will be perfect at traditional style venues like cathedrals, museums, historic country clubs, and ballrooms. She also would be great at venues like wineries and gardens because of her whimsical eyelash lace detailing and floral pattern. Her lightweight fabric makes Charlotte (and Claire!) perfect destination beach wedding dresses.
Brides looking for timeless elegance or an old money aesthetic will love how seamlessly Charlotte fits into their overall theme and into their venue space.
