Each woman is able to look amazing in a dress if the style is chosen successfully. But among the variety of models, one can distinguish an outfit that can decorate absolutely any female figure - this is a dress with a smell.



Features
In a dress of this style, the front part is divided into two separate elements. One of them is scoured on one side from above to the second, as a result of which an outfit forms a V-shaped neckline.

Often, ties are used to fix the dress on the figure. The length of the models can be different, but the classic option is considered the length slightly below the knees. Often the model of such a dress is made in the form of a dressing gown with a smell, but the fabrics for the dress were chosen expensive and beautiful.



A bit of history
The appearance of dresses with a smell effect is associated with Diana von Furstenberg. The idea to create such a model of the dress came from this famous designer in 1973 after she created the top by smell. For sewing the first dress of the new style, a jersey fabric was used. The dress beautifully emphasized the feminine silhouette, did not interfere with movement and was easily worn. In the first two years, women sold out more than five million of these outfits.


In 1997, Diana decided to update the wrap dress. New models began to sew from modern fabrics, their hem was shortened, and the collar was made narrower. The reprinted dress also featured interesting prints and updated trim. Nowadays, such models are in demand among women and are found in the wardrobes of many fashionistas.



We also note that similar clothing for women appeared a little earlier.Back in the 40s, Claire McCardell offered American women loose clothing that smelled. The designer’s creation was a denim outfit, but it wasn’t a wraparound dress, as he was worn on top of more elegant clothes.

Who is it for?
In a dress with a smell effect, any woman looks graceful and attractive. Thanks to the V-neck created by the halves of the outfit, you can effectively emphasize and slightly lengthen the neck.



In addition, the advantages of such dresses are:
- Visual narrowing of the shoulders.
- Underline the waistline.
- Improving the silhouette (the girl looks taller and more slender).
- Visual enlargement of the bust.


Given these advantages, the style can be recommended for women with curvaceous shapes, especially if the figure resembles an inverted triangle. If a girl wants to narrow her waist, she should choose a plain outfit and add a belt of the same color with the dress.




Styles
The most common such dresses with a smell:
- With a flared skirt.
- With an asymmetrical hem.
- With a pencil skirt.



Knitted
Such dresses are referred to as casual wear. In a dress with a smell of knitwear, a woman looks very attractive, since such an outfit helps in creating a beautiful silhouette.

Knitwear is easily draped and helps to emphasize feminine bends. In addition, dresses from this fabric are well washed and do not need to be ironed.




Knitted
Dresses with a smell effect are presented both by machine and manual knitting. If you knit such a dress with knitting needles or crochet, you will get a unique product to your liking. At the same time, knitted patterns are both summer (from thin cotton) and more dense (from wool and acrylic).



With sleeves
Sleeves in models with a smell come in both long and short lengths. There are dresses in which the sleeves are completely absent, but three-fourths of the products are considered the most attractive. Such a sleeve exposes the wrists a little, which adds to the image of romance and tenderness.


With drapery
In such dresses, the front part of the product, which is wraparound, is beautifully draped. For the manufacture of such outfits, fabrics are used that can flow and fall, forming folds and assemblies. Most often, such dresses are monophonic (blue, red, pink are especially common), but printed products are also found.

Length
Long
This length of the wrap dress is chosen mainly for special occasions. Dresses on the floor of this style look especially luxurious in scarlet, silver, ivory, white, burgundy and emerald color.

Ankle-length summer casual dresses are also common. Often they are decorated with a bright print, for example, floral or cage. Many long dresses of this style are worn with a belt, which happens to match along with or contrasting colors.




Midi
The average length is found most often with odor models. Such dresses are both modest and elegant, as well as daring and seductive. They can be tied using a plain belt, secured with a brooch or with a hidden clasp. Such dresses are very diverse and can differ in the shape of the neckline, color, fabric or the presence of a sleeve.





A short
In such dresses with a smell, a woman looks very seductive and sexy. A short length is often chosen for an evening outfit, picking up stilettos and an elegant handbag to it.
In such a dress, the girl will draw attention to her legs, so this model is recommended only to slender young ladies.



Popular colors
Red
Models with the smell of this color can be worn on a date or in the theater.

If you want to attract attention, choose a dress of a bright shade, trimmed with contrasting color inserts, rhinestones or embroidery.



The black
Models with the smell of black can be called a successful office option.

Since black is referred to the base color, it is easy to combine any accessories with such outfits.



White
Often, white wrap dresses are presented by beach models made of translucent and airy fabric. Such products are almost not noticeable on the body and bring coolness on a hot summer day.

In addition, there are elegant snow-white models - both long above the knees and long to the floor.



Blue
Dress in this color can be both elegant and casual.

An elegant blue satin dress, complemented by a silver belt, looks elegant. Dark blue models are suitable for business style, as they will not stand out in the office. They are supplemented with boats and a jacket.



Season
Summer
For sewing summer models of dresses with a smell, linen, cotton and other lightweight fabrics are used. Often, for such dresses, a multi-colored fabric is selected, so that the products turn out to be bright and juicy.




Spring / Autumn
In cool autumn weather or early spring, dresses with a medium-odor smell are usually worn. They are complemented by a cloak, jacket or coat, as well as boots or high-heeled shoes.



Winter
In winter cold, the most popular models are the smell of dense knitwear and wool. They usually have a long sleeve.


What to wear?
You can pick up any handbag for the dress of this style.

A large casual bag model, a small clutch bag, and a handbag with a long thin belt will look equally attractive with it. Neck can be decorated with a small elegant scarf.



Accessories
A good choice for a dress with a smell can be called long beads (beads should be small), as well as hanging earrings.

If the model has a three-quarter sleeve, it is worth decorating the wrist with several bracelets or expressive watches. The evening dress of this style goes well with pearls and gold jewelry.



Footwear
Sandals or high-heeled shoes are the perfect pair for wraparound models. Especially if the dress is presented in its classic length - midi.

Sandals with straps will work well with a summer dress. In a cool time for such a dress, you should put on stilettos. In winter, a wrap dress can be complemented with high boots without a heel or with thick, steady heels.









A wraparound dress is a little seductive as it creates the effect that the smell can open. I love these dresses!
