High-waisted dresses are charming and work wonders. They can visually subtract several years from your actual age, as well as hide the sides or a dimly defined waistline. However, for this you need to correctly determine the model. If you take the wrong thing, it will not only not hide the flaws, but will also emphasize them.
Existing options:
- High waist smok. It is characterized by cascading frilly layers. They start under the chest.
- Shift. Usually very short, with no or very little cleavage. It fits loosely around the chest and practically doesn’t do that. It gradually expands downwards, but not much.
- Trapezoid. In fact, this is a collective word for A-line dresses with an undefined bodice line.
- Shemiz. A loose-fitting dress that looks like a shirt and is gathered under the bust with a drawstring or elastic.
- With an asymmetrical hem. This look is characterized by a skirt that is shorter in the front and longer in the back.
- Baby dollar This short and ultra-short wardrobe item is typically characterized by a tight-fitting bodice that emphasizes the shape of the bust, as well as a wide or layered skirt. The item is usually made in a distinctly girlish or glamorous style.
- Tunic. Short, loose cut, often with an insert-belt under the bust.
- Empire style dress. A very elegant item with a very high waistline, an open neckline, no sleeves at all or with puffed sleeves. The classic version goes to the floor, but today there are also mini ones.
How to choose
The main misconception about such dresses: absolutely all of them are suitable for pregnant women. In fact, the line of the waist, ending directly above a large belly, emphasizes it and visually enlarges it. First of all, this applies to dresses that have a fluffy or even pleated skirt after the belt.
The situation gets much worse if there are large or horizontal patterns on the hem. For example, flowers in traditional Russian style. Because of this combination, there is a high probability of turning into a real ancient Russian woman - the one depicted by artists. Without a certain age and clear proportions.
The same should be said about almost tight high-waisted options. Perhaps some simply overweight girls will be able to choose a similar thing for themselves, and it will even hide the absence of abs, but for ladies in this position such a cut is definitely not suitable.
Pregnant women should take a closer look not at things in the empire or baby-doll style, but at a real trapezoid. A not too strongly defined chest and a completely unemphasized waist will not crowd or hamper movement. Well, the owner herself will not look as if she is trying with all her might to hide or emphasize her position.Ideal option: the product is sewn from a material that does not fly apart from the slightest wind and does not wrap around the silhouette, but is able to keep its shape.
Important! If the trapeze is made of very light fabric, for example chiffon, then the dress will move back when moving. Because of this, the material will begin to fit in the front, and an attempt to hide the tummy and sides will turn out to be a failure.
Small breasts also require caution. An empire style dress, as well as short naive dresses, can visually “steal” a few centimeters from the bust. The problem can be solved using the following models:
- with hidden cups in the bodice (such a thing will have to be washed only by hand, otherwise the hidden part may move);
- with small folds in the bodice area;
- with a wrap around the chest, but only on the condition that the dress, or at least its upper part, is made of thick fabric.
Well, for small busts, a bodice with an elastic band and a lace-up option are prohibited. Such details are designed to draw you in. Moreover, they do this not only in fact, but also visually.
What can you wear with elegant dresses with bust extensions?
It all depends on the specific thing and goals that the girl is pursuing. Helpful Notes:
- If you want to create a distinctly girlish look, then you should take an a-line dress and complement the look with knee socks or plain white tights in combination with Mary Jane shoes with very tiny heels.
- An evening look can easily be made from a chiffon dress, clutch, bracelets and earrings. It's better to let your hair down.
- The basis of an intensely casual ensemble: a denim dress, socks, boots (replaced with sneakers) and a bun hairstyle.
Important! Turning to the baby dollar trend, allow yourself large jewelry and accessories, pink, purple and gold shades, cute and naive prints.
Shoes and accessories
Shales. They go well with Greek outfits, with moderately elegant sundresses, as well as with wardrobe items with an asymmetrical hem. Very tall girls can wear them with a smoky, shift, or chemiz dress.
Boats. A universal solution, equally suitable for thin and plump women. The last thing you should choose is a model with a more stable and substantial heel.
Important! The stiletto heel is more suitable for those with a chiseled figure.
In terms of styles, pumps will definitely look great with the following clothes:
- flowing floor-length model, including one with a slit;
- an outfit that matches the baby-doll's mood (pair with high- and very high-heeled shoes, a platform in the front is acceptable);
- a dress with a really full skirt that reaches to the knee or falls slightly below;
- office variations of elegant dresses with a waist under the bust.
Sandals. Another almost always appropriate shoe, you just need to feel the mood of the dress. If it is completely girlish, naive and touching, then choose a neat pair with small heels or tiny wedges. For a floor-length outfit, classic high-heeled sandals are almost always good. Wear a tunic-like item with shoes that vaguely resemble Greek sandals. Well, sandals with flat soles will ideally complement a short trapezoidal dress.
Mules. They form a successful combination with asymmetrical dresses, tunics, and some models in the baby-dollar style.
Ballet shoes. You don't have to wear heels to look chic in a beautiful high-waisted piece. You can create a cute or feminine look with ballet shoes that are correctly selected in color and texture.
Boots. Thin, non-muscular girls should definitely wear stocking boots with a short dress in the currently fashionable boho style, or simply made from thin flowing printed fabric (the pattern should be gypsy, colorful, or folk). A hat and a bag on a long leather strap (or on a chain) will complete the look. An asymmetrical hem, in turn, requires ankle boots, and a knitted item requires a knee-high boot.
Boots. A wool and denim A-line model will “pop” in combination with both short and long boots.
Sneakers. White sneakers are a way to turn almost any dressy dress into the basis for an everyday look. Only chiffon and similar fabric properties fall under the exception. You still need to wear shoes or summer shoes with them.
In terms of handbags, everything is simple. Accessories that need to be carried in your hand will definitely come in handy. Make a choice between an envelope and a clutch based on the color and cut of a particular dress. It’s worth trying to take a closer look at the model with a long strap. Well, with baby-doll dresses and other options, which are characterized by a tight-fitting bodice and a full skirt, choose a cute handbag that holds its shape well.
There are a lot of styles for an elegant dress with an extension from the chest. Due to this, a girl of any size has the opportunity to choose an outfit that suits her shape and taste. To make the right choice, do not forget to take into account exactly how the fabric lays and whether there are problems in the neckline, sides, abdomen and legs.
