Rise of the near-naked wedding dress: Nipple-exposing lace, plunging necklines and daring thigh-high splits... but would YOU wear one on your big day?
- Lingerie-esque wedding gowns dominated 2016 Bridal Fashion Week
- Alon Livne, Pronovias and Theia showcased exposing designs
- Embracing the barely-there look appears key for confident brides-to-be
Brides-to-be, forget making a statement with a mile-long train, diamond-studded tiara and meringue-like skirt - the way to really court attention on your big day is to don a nearly-naked gown.
Not for the faint-hearted, flesh-flashing dresses appeared to be the go-to look for 2016. New York's Bridal Fashion Week saw models storm the runway in daring designs that wouldn't look out of place in a racy underwear shop.
Demure frocks were dropped for nipple-exposing lace, plunging necklines and daring thigh-high splits.

Meanwhile Irish label Theia - who have dressed everyone from Taylor Swift to Khloe Kardashian - wowed the fashion crowd with their boldly unique wedding dress.
The powerful grey and blue design featured large flowers, leaves and what appeared to be a Geisha-girl print.

Famed for their dramatic garments, one quiff-haired model showcased a see-through mesh gown that had a plunging V-neckline and delicate spaghetti straps. A silver jewel-encrusted bodice and appliqued flower detailing was all that protected the model's modesty.
Another bronzed beauty turned heads in a red carpet-worthy gown. The long-sleeved dress, made out of intricate lace, featured two thigh-high splits and nipped in at the waist.
Meanwhile American designer Houghton's show featured a model in rose-adorned white lace tights, a pair of 1950s-inspired high-waisted white pants and a completely see-through drop-waist dress with a ruffled skirt.
