Summer is coming, it’s worth looking now for new light outfits in which the body will breathe and the long-lasting color will please the eye. In recent years, a staple consisting of a cotton and viscose (sometimes lavsan) component has gained popularity. This is a thin, well-draped fabric that is widely used for sewing summer dresses. Read on to learn about their styles and selection nuances.
What styles of staple dresses are there?
Stylists offer many models of light outfits of various cuts. These can be open or closed dresses with or without sleeves, with different details and lengths. Whichever style you choose from those suggested below, consider some features of staple fabric:
- it shrinks up to 6% of the length, because it consists of many natural fibers;
- The coloring is permanent and will not fade in the sun;
- Requires careful washing, preferably by hand in warm water and a light, non-machine spin.
Long with short sleeves
The staple fabric is light enough for the skin to breathe and for the woman to feel comfortable in it. But it is also heavy enough to form beautiful folds that react to any movement with a slight sway.
When walking, the fabric seems to flow, and a wide flared skirt or frills at the bottom of the dress add endless charm and femininity to the look. In combination with short sleeves - straight, winged, lantern - this looks especially impressive.
Important! This style is suitable for both girls and mature women. It makes young people even more attractive, and removes a good ten years from older ladies.
Long Long Sleeve
Floor-length dresses, which came to us from the catwalks several years ago, have taken root in women's wardrobes mainly in summer versions. But so many different styles have been invented that it’s impossible to list them all. Long sleeves in a staple dress can be made in different variations:
- three-quarter;
- flared;
- gathered, at the bottom on the cuff or on the drawstring;
- lush - “poet”, “balloon”, “bishop”, long “lantern”;
- sleeve with a slit or cutout of the upper third.
Any long dress with long sleeves is suitable for slender girls, but Chubby women should not overload their image with volumes, so choose a long sleeve style that does not have gathers in the shoulder tier.
Important! The dress, made from a bright monochromatic staple of a straight silhouette with a one-piece batwing sleeve, looks original, fresh, and stylish.
Shirt
This summer you can't do without a trendy shirt dress, and the staple for this style is perfect. Give preference to floral prints, bright fabrics or calm colors, don't forget about the check or stripe – and the outfit will make you a stylish girl with an impeccable figure.
Important! A shirt made from a plain sand-colored fabric will match the currently fashionable “safari” style.
Tunic
Don't forget about this universal style that suits everyone. It will cover the upper part of the figure and demonstrate slender legs. Experiment with the length and you can find the perfect option for you. Properly selected accessories will help transform a dress from casual to elegant, and plain fabric in pastel or dark shades will allow you to wear it to the office.
Important! Young slender girls do not need to wear jeans or leggings with a tunic, but ladies with curvy figures and older women cannot do without it.
Empire style
The peculiarity of the cut of this dress is underbust and loose, flowing skirt. It is ideal for plump women, but will look no less good on a fragile girl’s figure. Printed staple fabrics with floral or small geometric prints will help make your look romantic and dreamy.
Sundress
You can't do without a stylish sundress in summer. An outfit with straps made of bright printed staple fabric is indispensable in your everyday wardrobe for walks on vacation or gatherings with friends on the outdoor terrace of a cafe. Floor-length models look stylish, and midi sundresses with an asymmetrical hem are no less good.
A-line with belt
This style can make a dress cute, stylish and even chic. It all depends on the details that complement the cut of the silhouette and the color of the fabric:
- a wrap with ties around the waist, a flared long skirt, and a polka dot print create one look;
- a closed bodice made of dark staple, a slightly widened hem, knee-length, short sleeves with a flounce at the end, a long belt with loose ends - the image already looks completely different;
- A dark cherry midi dress with a shirt collar, front closure and a Japanese obi belt is the third option.
Oversized
But with a voluminous silhouette, you can come up with models endlessly. It is suitable for any figure and will look stylish for any age.. The fabrics chosen are plain, dark or pastel shades, striped, checkered, small flowers or with a large floral print on the bottom.
Off Shoulder
This style will be at the peak of popularity in the summer. Long dresses with bare shoulders look great, gathered along the top edge with elastic threads. Dresses with single or double flounce around the shoulders are trendy. Especially The open top part of a striped shirt dress looks interesting. The length can vary from mini to maxi.
Boho style
Boho-style outfits work great in a summer wardrobe, and those made from staples are particularly attractive. Staple dresses in the boho style hold their shape well, are light, flexible, and can be perfectly combined with fabrics of other colors, lace, decorative and shaped ribbons, cotton embroidery, and fringe.
Dress-robe
The trend is a scent in any design. Floor-length or midi-length dresses look interesting on curvy beauties. A flared skirt and an uncharacteristic asymmetrical cut will distract the eye from problem areas, and the smell will accentuate the expressive bust. The robe can have a fastener in the form of buttons, a zipper, or simply be tied.
