Jacquard is one of the most beautiful fabrics for a women's dress or suit. Thanks to its elegant patterns and beautiful weaves, this material is suitable for women of all ages. Dresses of a wide variety of styles are mainly sewn from jacquard. Everyone will be able to choose a suitable model in accordance with their figure and other preferences. Read on to find out what styles of jacquard dresses exist.
Features of tailoring and styles
In terms of its texture, jacquard is a dense but soft fabric, which is created using a complex weave of threads. As a result, intricate patterns are formed, which are the main difference of this material. When creating fabric, both natural materials and synthetic threads can be used, so every girl can find a jacquard product to suit her wallet.
Thanks to the density of the material, the dress holds its shape perfectly, on the basis of which its style and cut are determined. Usually, such things are cut using the simplest patterns possible, without unnecessary sewing complications. The fact is that the richness of the material does not require additional refinements in the style; the rule applies here: the more patterns on the fabric, the simpler the cut should be. No need for frills or embellishments, but elegant, smooth lines are welcome, which favorably emphasize the figure and hide imperfections under dense material.
Important! Jacquard is famous for its wear resistance, so the product will last you a long time even if you wear it very often.
What models are there?
There are too many styles of dresses made from jacquard fabric, but we can highlight those that are most often found in fashion stores.
Shirt
A shirt dress is perfect for everyday wear. It literally represents an elongated shirt. The length can be different - mini, knee-length or midi. The dress is fastened with a number of buttons and is complemented with a collar or placket on top.
Mermaid
The second name of this style is gode. This is a very feminine and eye-catching holiday dress that beautifully emphasizes your figure. It’s called “mermaid” for a reason: the skirt from the waist to the knee tightly fits the figure, and below it expands, reminiscent of a fish tail. The dense jacquard texture allows the “tail” to lie in beautiful tails, and thanks to the tulle lining, the skirt holds its shape well.
The upper part of the dress can be made in different techniques: sleeveless, with a boat neckline, and a jumper at the neck. In any case, the top should be open enough to balance the look.
Case
One of the most strict, but at the same time elegant options is a sheath dress.With its simplicity, it emphasizes and brings to the fore the texture of the fabric, which is its main decoration. There are two main models of the case:
- fitted. The darts are located on the chest and extend down towards the waist or hips;
- with a detachable skirt. This style consists of two parts: a top and a pencil skirt. The case can also be fitted using small darts.
An elegant jacquard case can be suitable both for work in the office and for a festive or special occasion. Most The knee-length model looks advantageous: it does not cut off the figure and emphasizes the beauty of women’s legs.
Flare
A flare is a special cut of a dress where the skirt flares out at the bottom. You can create this effect in a variety of ways:
- using a half-sun or sun skirt;
- wedges from the chest or waist;
- small folds. Jacquard is a fairly dense material, but light, so any folds will form soft waves. From the outside it looks feminine and attractive.
A-line
The A-line dress is a universally recognized classic. It fits perfectly into a variety of events in life: both everyday and festive. Usually like this the style is one-piece, that is, without a detachable skirt. The downward expansion begins at the waist or chest. This model perfectly complements a belt made of contrasting fabric or plain jacquard.
The optimal length for this style is either maxi (which is suitable for an evening out) or mini (5–7 cm above the knee). This way the product will not distort the parameters of the figure and will look its best.
Pipe
“Pipe” model suitable for women who want to hide imperfections in the abdomen and waist. The peculiarity of the cut of this style is the absence of a pronounced waist.Undercuts may be provided, but the dress is not fitted, fits loosely around the body and does not emphasize the waistline. In order to visually elongate the figure, it is better to give preference to a model with a vertical longitudinal pattern.
Dress-suit
This combination suits older ladies and looks very solemn and festive. This kit consists of two parts: sheath dress and jacket or bolero, which can be worn over the dress or it is immediately attached to the main part.
