Choosing such a dress is not an easy task: you need to decide on the style, style, color, texture.
What types of evening dresses are there?
Modern fashion offers many models in which it is easy to get confused and miss important things. This article is a guide to evening dresses. It will allow you to better understand all types of outfits for celebrations.
Short
Length to the knee or above (not much). Many girls choose them because of their flirtatiousness, practicality, and convenience. This option is more versatile than a long outfit; it will suit almost any occasion and will restrict movement less. Looks great on those with slender legs and emphasizes their beauty. The style can be straight or with a full skirt.An interesting option is asymmetry: short in front, long in back. Design: use of ruffles, embroidery, rhinestones, drapery. This decor will give it luxury.
REFERENCE. The rules of etiquette dictate that such dresses can be worn only for late events (starting no later than 7 pm).
Balloon
A style with a fluffy oval skirt of an unusual shape. It is similar to a tulip skirt, but has a difference: it is larger and tapers at the bottom of the product.
The volume is achieved due to the design: a lining must be sewn for it, and the lower edge of the main skirt is folded and sewn to the lining. Varieties: straight, wide (reminiscent of a trumpet), with pleats at the waist.
Top:
- open shoulders;
- slightly open neckline;
- closed shoulders (various cutouts available).
Fabrics: satin, silk. The colors are varied: from calm to flashy, festive. REFERENCE such fabrics are best suited, as they have the properties of forming drapery. This dress is the perfect way to smooth out thinness.
Baby dollar
The name speaks for itself: the product contains elements that are used in sewing children's clothing. It features bright bows, sequins, sparkles, and ruffles. To make it more mature and get the necessary contrast, the product is complemented with revealing elements: short length, open neckline, inserts made of translucent material. This creates a contradictory combination: both cute and sexy.
Main features:
- a full skirt (often multi-layered);
- high waist.
REFERENCE. Best suited for girls. Otherwise, there is a high risk of looking ridiculous.
Imperial style
The opposite of open dresses. The top, shoulders and arms in such products are covered with fabric. Less explicit option.
Characteristics:
- V-neck;
- the décolleté area is most often open;
- flared sleeves (3/4 or long), sometimes gathered at the bottom;
- for sewing sleeves, thin translucent fabric is used;
- length: medium (knee-length) or floor-length.
Long
A wide variety of models are presented. Suitable for special occasions, meetings, receptions. They always look luxurious, so for an important celebration it is worth choosing this one. This season, multi-layered options are in fashion: they are original and beautiful. For them it is better to use calm tones: pink, peach, nude shades. This way the image will be more balanced. You can open some areas of the body with the help of transparent inserts, an open neckline, wide straps, and slits at the edges. The trend is light flowing fabrics, appliqués, mesh, and lace.
Ballroom
One of the most popular and chic models.
Peculiarities:
- fits tightly on top - corset base: completely open or closed;
- closed corsets have long or ¾ sleeves;
- fluffy long skirt (floor-length). Definitely multi-layered;
- for sewing the lower layers, light but durable fabric is used;
- overskirts are thicker: jacquard, silk, guipure;
- to add more pomp, hoops are used: skirts are sewn around them, thus forming a strong frame. But such products are quite heavy and inconvenient;
- decoration: waistline decor, open back.
They look better on tall girls.
REFERENCE This option is suitable for truly significant events.
A-line
Elegant, but more versatile and practical option. Top: corset or completely closed (like imperial ones). Skirts: curvy, trapezoidal. Fashionable materials: jacquard, satin, velvet, knitwear.Suitable for any figure and any age.
Mermaid (gode, trumpet)
The name is self-explanatory: the top is tight-fitting, and the full skirt begins just below mid-thigh. It can be corseted or completely closed (in this case it is possible to open the back). More suitable for girls with a proportional figure and thin waist.
Direct
An elegant and stately option. The effect is achieved through the use of fabrics with beautiful texture and design.
Decor:
- front cutout (usually V-shaped);
- deep neckline on the back: open or decorated with chains, straps, inserts (made of lace or translucent fabric);
- slits along the edges (for those who are not afraid to show off their legs).
Empire style
The product is made from light soft fabrics, elegant and airy. It has a high waist and many pleats of material.
Greek style
Peculiarities:
- the waist is also high;
- use of lightweight fabrics;
- drapery, layering of material;
- one shoulder is open, the other has a thick strap (continuation of the dress). Can be declared with a ring.
- one of the most suitable options for pregnant girls.
Asymmetrical
An attribute of the avant-garde, but it is not necessary to move into it. Asymmetrical skirt: short in front, long in back. May be fluffy, fabrics of inner and outer skirts may differ in color. Bodice: One shoulder is completely open. The remaining strap is often decorated with large details. This style suits short girls.
