Features
Modern dresses with a low waist - this is a greeting from the 20s of the last century. It was at that time that a real revolution took place in the history of women's fashion. In the struggle for equality with men, women began to abandon long, magnificent skirts and began to look for new solutions for themselves. Low-waist outfits appeared as opposed to empire and corset dresses, emphasizing feminine forms. A downward waist line makes the silhouette more flat, rectangular. Thus, dresses made the figure a little boyish. In addition, it was convenient to move, dance and play sports in them.

Who is it for?
Low-waist dresses appeared during the First World War. Then the ideal of female beauty ceased to be airy, fragile creatures, and the eyes of men turned to strong, athletic girls who could cope with hard work. This was reflected in the styles of women's clothing. Dresses with a low waist are most suitable for girls with a sports figure: tall and wide-shouldered.



If you are of the type "rectangle" or "inverted triangle", you can safely put on such a dress. Avoid dresses with shifted waist lines should be girls with wide hips, as well as persons of short stature.

Provided that the dress has a tight corset, it perfectly corrects the figure. Short dresses with a low waist and a full skirt are not suitable for everyone. Only having narrow hips and slender legs, you will look perfect in this outfit.



Length
Traditionally, a low-waist dress was not long, since it appeared at the very moment when the women finally decided to abandon the outfits on the floor. However, today you can see such dresses of different lengths.

Long
A long low-waist dress can be both an exquisite evening outfit and light clothing for walking. Classic silhouette dresses, which are often chosen by brides, belong to the first category. Such an outfit is an excellent outlet for future mothers who want to hide the emerging tummy. A loose skirt, gathered in beautiful pleats, makes the image feminine and romantic.




Midi
The classic length for a low-waist dress is midi - after all, a century ago, women still did not allow themselves to bare their legs very much.

A medium-length dress is a universal option that is suitable for both a working day and a festive evening. For models in the style of casual, the waist is usually underestimated by only a few centimeters. Such a fit is most optimal for skirts of different cuts - narrow, flared or pleated.

A short low-waist dress can also be an option for casual or sportswear. A free cut allows you to actively move, so in this dress you can comfortably skate, play tennis, etc.




Wedding Dresses
Every day, more and more brides make a decision in favor of dresses with a low waist. Over the past few years, this style has remained a real trend in wedding fashion.

As a rule, a wedding dress with a low waist has two mandatory elements: a bodice or corset bodice and a long, full skirt. Together, this creates an incredibly beautiful silhouette. Such dresses demonstrate the beauty of the bride’s neck and shoulders, emphasize the chest and waist, and also mask all problem areas. High-waisted wedding dresses are so sophisticated that stylists advise brides to get along with a minimum of jewelry and choose a very simple hairstyle.



Evening options
The greatest love among fashionistas is the use of two varieties of evening dresses with a low waist. The first is jazz style models that have become popular thanks to the Gucci fashion house.

How they look, you can easily imagine remembering the movie "The Great Gatsby." Small dresses, straight or slightly fitted, with luxurious decor. Embroidery, lace, beads, rhinestones - jewelry can not be too much. The second variety is the low-waist dresses with a long straight skirt that Chanel fashion house created. They are performed and thin, flying fabrics, have a simple but expensive decor.


Does it fit complete?
Dresses with a low waist are great for full, because this style allows you to visually adjust the figure.

If you have a tummy, it means that tight-fitting dresses made of elastic fabric are not for you. But models with a lowered waist line give the upper part of the figure the shape of a rectangle, thereby hiding all the protruding parts. You can’t hide lush hips with such a dress, but corrective underwear solves the problem. But the full hands and shoulders can be balanced with a fairly fluffy skirt. Girls with luxurious shapes should choose models with a skirt no higher than the knee. And do not forget about the heels - so you will look much more elegant.



Selection tips
- Details of the dress can favorably emphasize your merits, or vice versa, ruin everything. If you have luxurious breasts, pay attention to models with a beautiful, unusual neckline. The flawless skin of the neck and shoulders is a great occasion to purchase a dress with an open strapless bodice. Graceful hands are emphasized by short, magnificent gloves.
- You should be very careful with the length of the low-waist dress, especially if you cannot boast of large stature. Tall girls can choose models of any length for themselves, but for miniature young ladies it is better to stay on dresses with a skirt on the floor.




What to wear?
The choice of accompaniment to a dress with a low waist depends directly on the dress itself. If this is a classic evening outfit, then you do not need anything except shoes, handbags and jewelry. Dresses in the style of the 20s can be supplemented with accessories from that era - tiny hats, headbands, boas or beaded purses on a chain. A casual outfit can be combined with almost everything. Such a dress will look good with a cloak, denim or leather jacket. Short dresses in a sporty style can be worn with skinny jeans or leggings.





Accessories
For most of us, dresses with a low waistline are associated with fashion at the beginning of the last century. To create a harmonious image of jewelry for such a dress, you need to select the appropriate ones.

Women's evening dresses in those days embodied the concept of glamor - there was so much luxury and splendor in them. For formal occasions, you should wear exquisite retro jewelry or jewelry: long knotted beads, sparkling pendant earrings, bracelets and rings with large stones. Just don’t wear it all at once - a pair of jewelry will be enough.



Footwear
A downward waistline visually makes you lower, and your legs are a little shorter. Therefore, the main task when choosing shoes is to choose the one that will smooth this effect. This means that you will have to abandon shoes with flat soles, as well as high boots and boots that will additionally “cut” the foot horizontally.

The best option is high-heeled shoes or sandals. Shoes in beige and tight color will be an excellent choice, since, firstly, it will fit almost any outfit, and secondly, visually lengthen your legs.
