American armhole dresses - perfect for beautiful shoulders

Dress models that have an American armhole are feminine, festive, and very romantic. This top is most often present in evening dresses and elegant blouses.

The armhole is called American, which is a diagonal cutout that starts in the armpits and ends at the girl’s neck. Such cut neckline allows you to leave your shoulders open.

Some options for dresses look good on beauties of medium build with small breasts, a narrow waist and rounded hips. Closed type of armhole is preferred by older women, and models of dresses with open back - young girls.

The dress, the top of which is represented by the American armhole, looks feminine and beautiful, but not suitable for everyone.

Wedding dresses with an arm-worn American look very elegant and give the image an unfaithful femininity, especially if the neckline is trimmed with lace or guipure.

For the first time, outfits with an American armhole became popular in the fifties of the 20th century, when a film with Monroe was released. The white dress of this legendary actress was liked by the public, which introduced such an armhole into the women's wardrobe.

By the 90s, interest in this piece of clothing had faded, but from 2011-2012, the American armhole again appeared on the catwalks.Although in modern outfits she has changed, such a sexy and sensual element can now be called quite popular among well-known fashion designers and fashionistas.

The American armhole in dresses can be represented by the following options:

1. The model of the dress is made with an open back, but the armhole on the chest is closed. This is the most common type of dress with an American armhole. These outfits look spectacular and sexy, but also sophisticated. In them, the armhole can be emphasized with lace, golden trim, mesh and other decor. Most often, such dresses are sewn from chiffon and other flowing fabrics.
2. An armhole of this kind is combined with a stand-up collar. This model is a compromise for girls who do not want to bare their backs. In a dress with such a top, the shoulders will be open. A similar dress is chosen for celebration and for the office.
3. The dress has a V-neckline. The armhole in such a product is represented by a loop that “hugs” the neck. Such a loop can be one-piece, but can also be fastened or tied.

• Before buying a dress of this style, be sure to try on. You must be sure that the model sits on your figure perfectly, and all ties or fasteners are very convenient.
• Do not buy a heavy dress with an American armhole, as it will put pressure on the neck and cause discomfort.
• Remember that the style is able to visually expand and emphasize the shoulders. And so the outfit would be the perfect choice for girls with narrow shoulders.
• If your neck is short, the best choice would be a dress with an armhole made with a V-neck. By choosing a model with a stand-up collar, you will visually make the neck even shorter. If you have a long neck, an American dress with a stand will suit you perfectly.

For cocktail and evening dress, decorated with an American armhole, it is recommended to choose long gloves. This outfit also looks good with a stole or with a fur cape. Also complement this dress with a clutch bag and stilettos or wedges.

Pendants with long chains, long earrings, medium-sized bracelets go well with dresses of this style.
