Who is it for?
Elegance is inherent in every woman of any age. Therefore, such a detail of decor as frill should be chosen with extreme caution. She is not suitable for every woman.
So, for example, a blouse with small flounces (frill) is better for girls with curvaceous shapes. Due to the small ruffles-flounces that go down almost to the edge of the blouse, your figure will visually appear thinner.
Large, large ruffles for women and plus-size girls are not acceptable. They can add extra pounds to your silhouette and make it even more magnificent.
We recommend slender girls to prefer frill with large frills, reaching the line of the chest. This decor will visually add volume to your chest and make the silhouette more attractive.
