Sheath Dress

Elegant, strict, but at the same time sexy, sheath dress at one time made a real revolution in the world of fashion. After the First World War, when the economies of European countries were noticeably shaken, spending several meters of expensive fabric on one dress seemed extremely unreasonable. That is why lush, multi-layered outfits were replaced by simple, concise models.

• One of the undoubted advantages of the sheath dress is that it looks good on a variety of young ladies. This dress does not have strict restrictions on age and physique. Skinny and donuts, young girls and respectable ladies - all of them must certainly acquire a sheath dress.
• On the basis of one sheath dress, you can create many different images - from business to romantic. All that is required is to change shoes and accessories.
• Dress style "sheath" is an outfit that will be appropriate almost everywhere. In it you can appear at work, and in the evening go to the cinema or to a party - you will not need to change the outfit.

The body-fitting style of the sheath dress is suitable for a wide variety of body types.

Using the right color of the outfit, pattern and decorative elements, you can correct some of the shortcomings, for example:

• if you are worried about a small breast, ruffles or frills on the bodice of the dress will help to add volume to this part of the body;
• too narrow hips can be made a little wider by choosing a dress with a peplum or a small drapery on a skirt;
• horizontal flat on the dress visually make you lower and fuller, and vertical, on the contrary, stretch and narrow the figure;
• tall girls are recommended to wear a sheath dress of classical length, that is, to the middle of the knee, and miniature - shortened models.

Sheath dress is a very practical piece of clothing. If you have a busy day, feel free to wear this outfit in the morning.

Not only classic heeled shoes are suitable for the dress case, but also flat shoes, for example, ballet flats or lace-up shoes. Therefore, in the case you will feel comfortable driving or on a walk around the city.

If you plan to go out in the evening or gatherings with friends, replace strict business accessories with more informal or smart ones. So the office dress will turn into a festive outfit.

A sheath dress, such as his fashionistas had learned at the beginning of the last century, was extremely concise. It was sewn in two parts and had only side seams. The absence of a seam between the bodice and the skirt created the effect of a high waist, and visually lengthened the legs.

A classic sheath dress has a length just below the knee. The cutout on the chest is round and shallow. This model does not have sleeves and various decorative elements - a belt, pockets, etc. Only thin straps are allowed. Traditionally, the sheath dress is made in black or in neutral colors - gray, beige or blue.

Lace sheath dresses look incredibly gentle and romantic. This is not an option for work or walk, but for a gala event or party.

Especially spectacular lace patterns in light colors. A sheath dress made of white lace can even be a wedding dress for a modern bride. For other occasions, take a closer look at dresses of dusty pink, pale lilac, peach and other pastel shades.

Sleeves are a detail that was absent in the classic sheath dress, but on modern models it is found quite often. A short-sleeve dress is perfect for warm weather.

Long sleeves on a sheath dress are a rare occurrence. Most popular are models with a sleeve length of ½ or ¾. Moreover, the sleeves are not always made of the same fabric as the dress itself.

Cocktail dresses are usually either sleeveless or have very short sleeve-wings.

Traditionally, the sheath dress did not have a collar, as did the sleeves. But the classic models have replaced the more modern and diverse, so today the collar is a completely ordinary element of the sheath dress.

Collars can be very different, but most often there are models with a small turn-down collar in a contrasting dress in color. As a rule, these are business dresses resembling the school uniform of the last century.

Sheath dress with a stand-up collar looks like a national Chinese outfit. Evening models with collars of the “rocker” or “heart” type are also popular.

A sheath dress with a neckline is the most modern option among all of the above. A girl in a tight-fitting dress with a beautiful neckline that accentuates her breasts always attracts glances, therefore, such an outfit must be chosen carefully.

To look attractive, it is not necessary to choose the deepest neckline that opens most of the chest. No less spectacular and seductive you will look in a dress with a neckline, only hinting at what is hidden under it. Take a look at models with a classic “boat” neckline, which slightly open your shoulders or dresses with a deep, but very narrow neckline.

Today, sheath dress can be of any length. A skirt just below the knee is still considered a classic, but you still need to choose the length, guided by the parameters of your figure.

When we talk about a short dress, we usually mean the length to the middle of the thigh or higher. Such dresses are recommended to be worn only by happy owners of slender legs. In addition, stylists say that it is better for a tall, long-legged girl to opt for models with a longer skirt, and leave mini-dresses to short young ladies.

The average is the length to the middle of the knee. Such a dress is suitable for almost everyone: if not every girl can boast of perfect hips, then knees and lower legs are the least problem areas of the figure for most young ladies.

A sheath dress with a midi skirt can be almost a universal, everyday type of clothing that can be worn with a trench coat or leather jacket, sandals or boots.

The little black dress that Coco Chanel created covered her knees, as the fashion designer considered this part of the body the most ugly woman. Modern ideas about beauty have changed, but elongated dresses are still popular.

A long sheath dress slenders and draws a figure like no other outfit, so girls with magnificent shapes will surely like it. For greater effect, preference should be given to models in dark colors or with contrasting side panels.

A black sheath dress is a classic outfit for an office or formal event, but in other cases you should not limit yourself to monochrome colors. Consider the most spectacular color variations of the sheath dress.

A woman in a red tight-fitting dress simply cannot fail to attract attention, therefore this option can be chosen only if you are ready to become the center of the holiday. If you like red, but prefer more restrained outfits, pay attention to models of muted shades, for example, a wine or a coral sheath dress.

A white sheath dress is a very romantic and sweet outfit. We have already said that such a dress is often chosen by brides who refuse traditional lush dresses.

So, a black sheath dress is an eternal classic, once and for all fixed in fashion thanks to Coco Chanel.

Simple and elegant, it is still considered the basic element of a women's wardrobe, on the basis of which you can create a wide variety of images - from business to flirty-sexy.

Blue is a discreet and noble color, so it is great for an exquisite sheath dress.

The palette of blue is very rich: dresses in cobalt and azure shades look completely different.

Despite the fact that gray refers to neutral colors and is most often found in the wardrobe of business girls, a gray sheath dress can also be stylish and unusual.

Color restraint can be compensated by the original cut of the dress or interesting accessories. Take a look at models with an unusual neckline or color accents.

• Dresses with asymmetric cut in the new fashion season are again becoming popular. Pay attention to models with an uneven hem (for example, shortened in the front, elongated at the back) and dress dresses with a high cut on the skirt.
• This spring and summer, narrow dresses will give way to more magnificent dresses. Those who adhere to tight-fitting dresses to stay in trend should take a closer look at the cases with a voluminous skirt - with drapery, lace or fringe.
• For the winter, designers came up with extravagant sheath dresses with fur or leather accents. In the cold season, you will be very comfortable in an insulated dress made of inflated, quilted material.

Sheath dress is good in that it can be combined with a variety of items of clothing from your wardrobe.

But the problem of outerwear for the dress of the case is not worth it. A light raincoat, a classic trench coat, jeans, a leather jacket, a jacket, a blazer, an original sleeveless jacket - all this goes well with this outfit. On a summer evening, when it gets cool, you can throw a stole or bolero over the case.

In the morning of the working day it can be a simple roomy bag, an elegant scarf around the neck and discreet jewelry. Going to a bar or a party in the evening, grab a clutch bag or small handbag on a chain. Remove a scarf from a neck and fasten a wide, bright belt on a waist. In the evening, you can afford more noticeable jewelry - large earrings, bracelets, multi-tiered beads.

A girl dressed in a sheath dress is the very embodiment of femininity and elegance. For such an exquisite dress, of course, it is worth choosing high-heeled shoes. A variety of shoe models are suitable for the case: from sandals with thin straps to classic boats, platform shoes and with a thick stacked heel.

Black and beige shoes fit almost any dress.

The contrasting color shoes, for example, lemon sandals with a lilac dress, look no less impressive.
