The material from which the home dress is sewn is most often represented:

Silk dresses are the most expensive, but at the same time the most pleasant in hot weather. In addition, homemade silk outfits look elegant. Most often they are bright and with a rather motley color.
The most popular and widespread are knitted, cotton and linen home dresses. Caring for such products is very simple, and the colors and styles of such outfits are represented by an extensive assortment. In addition, they are cheaper than silk. Viscose home dresses are also considered budget and wear-resistant models.
Velor home dresses are bought for the cool season, as an alternative to a warm bathrobe and suit. This fabric is pleasing to the body and looks very attractive. Models of this material often have a hood.
Length
Long
Dresses to the ankles are chosen not so often as a home outfit. Mostly such models are popular in the cool season. They are also in demand among girls who want to hide full or ugly legs.
Midi
Knee-length home dresses are the most common among outfits of this type. They are suitable for a girl with any figure and can be represented in a variety of styles. Many home midi dresses have a sleeve, and most often its length is three quarters.
Short
Models above the knee length are not as common as medium-length home dresses, because you often have to bend over during housework. Meeting guests in a short home dress is also not very convenient. If a girl chooses a short outfit, then most often he is represented by a tunic dress.
Selection tips
First of all, it is important that the model of home attire does not restrict movement. Therefore, very narrow and too tight outfits for the home are not suitable. You should not buy products with constantly falling straps, unfastened buttons or too tight elastic bands.
Other important tips when choosing home dresses will be:
- Buy models made of high quality and natural material.
- Choose the correct length of the product, taking into account your height. The average length is the ideal choice, while long-legged beauties should not buy an excessively short home dress, and long models are contraindicated for low girls.
- Also pay attention to the depth of the neckline, especially if you live with children.
- Among the shades, it is better to choose pastel colors, since too bright or dark shades can cause irritation, both in the woman herself and in households.
- If you looked at a model with a print, consider the features of your figure, since a small pattern will slim, and a large pattern, on the contrary, will add volume.
