Dress bag - for extravagant women

Despite the fact that trousers and suits have long and firmly settled in our wardrobes, the dress is still the most feminine element of clothing. Only in a dress can a girl feel like a truly elegant and fragile creature. However, classic puffy or tight-fitting dresses quickly get bored, so designers are always looking for new fashionable solutions.

Over the past century, many original styles of dresses have appeared for a variety of occasions. This article is dedicated to one of the most extravagant models - a bag dress. We will talk about what it represents, to whom it suits and how to wear it correctly.

Despite the fact that such a bold style is considered a recent invention, its prototype appeared about 300 years ago. At that time, women thought that outfits should not only be beautiful, but also comfortable, allowing them to move comfortably. It was then that dresses appeared vaguely similar to modern "bags" - with a classic thick bodice and long sleeves, but with a very magnificent and loose skirt.

Quite quickly, the fashion for spacious outfits was forgotten and the next time a bag-dress appeared on the fashion arena after the First World War - when they began to give preference to simple and unpretentious clothes. However, real popularity came to this model only in the middle of the last century, when it began to appear in the collections of famous couturiers.

Today, a bag dress is an option for casual clothes for girls who lead a dynamic lifestyle.In a modern embodiment, such a dress can be supplemented with various details: pockets, sleeves or a collar.

Dress bag straight cut. This is a classic version of this model. Under such a dress, all the bends and bulges of the figure are hidden, so many girls intercept the outfit at the waist with a belt or strap to create a more feminine image.

Cropped bag dress. This is a summer version of this style. In a spacious dress with a skirt to the middle of the thigh, you will be comfortable even on the hottest day. Models for summer are usually sewn from thin, natural fabrics of bright colors - chiffon, chintz, linen, etc.

Dress bag with pockets. This is not only a comfortable outfit for every day, but a great option for the office. Large patch pockets add a bit of mischief to a simple, sleek business dress. Often pockets are made of material contrasting in color or texture.

Dress bag with a zipper. Another variation of this outfit. Zipper on clothes can be not only functional, but also a decorative element. Dresses with a long fastener on the back look especially impressive: a vertical line visually stretches and narrows the figure.

Dress bag with a smell. It is a cross between a dress and a robe without a belt. It looks very unusual, but not every girl will risk putting it on, as it can visually deform the proportions of the figure. Quite often, such dresses have wide sleeves.

The dress bag is a very specific outfit and, unfortunately, it does not suit everyone. It is generally believed that only tall, slender girls can afford a dress of this style, since the rectangular shape makes the figure shorter and more voluminous.

In fact, the dress bag can be worn with any height, you just need to choose the right length:

• Elongated models covering the knees are suitable for long-legged young ladies - minus a few centimeters of growth does not matter to them.
• Miniature women should pay attention to the dress-bags with a skirt above the knee. Models for the cold season can be worn with tight tights or leggings - so you will not sacrifice either beauty or your own comfort.
• A bag-dress will not hurt slender girls, but only create the desired volumes in the right places.
• Puffies in such a dress will also feel confident, as it is able to hide problem areas. If you have a short stature and a full figure, you should handle the dress bag very carefully. Avoid models with patch pockets, short sleeves, drapery, and a horizontal pattern. In addition, be sure to wear heels to this outfit.
