Dress "Tatyanka" - for an elegant figure

Surely all fashionistas have heard of such a dress style as the "dress-Tatyana." Have you ever wondered why such a given style of dress was called “Tatyana”? The most plausible version is the one that claims that this style is named after the main character of Alexander S. Pushkin’s famous novel “Eugene Onegin” - Tatyana. It was in this style that costumes were made for theater actors of the female roles of the ballet "Eugene Onegin".

Now the dress-Tatyana is a huge success with fashionistas. This is due to the fact that such a style is universal in nature - it can be worn by women with a different figure and physique. The second reason for its versatility is that dresses of this style can be completely different in terms of their purpose. It can be a cocktail, ordinary-everyday and even business attire.

An obvious distinctive feature of the dress "Tatyanka" is that its bottom has folds starting from the waist. This form of dress resembles the shape of an hourglass. A fluffy skirt makes the figure more feminine and tender. The upper part of the dress, including sleeves with a neckline, are different. They can be short, long, or even absent (which makes the shoulders open). A closed dress can be with a V-shaped or rounded neckline.

As already noted, dresses-Tatyana are universal. They are suitable for girls with different shapes. This dress will turn a thin girl into a tender doll. For holders of a figure such as an hourglass, it will emphasize the merits and make the image more feminine and elegant. Also, the dress will well hide the lush hips of women with a triangle-like figure.

Choosing the length of the dress, it is necessary to take into account that it visually shortens the growth of the body.Therefore, it is better for small women to purchase models with a short skirt. We do not recommend dresses of this style to women with an apple-shaped figure, for the reason that a fluffy skirt will only add volume to their figure.

An outfit with such a style can be sewn from a wide variety of fabrics. The main thing is that the fabric is soft, and it can easily be draped into small and large folds. Summer models of dresses are sewn of silk, chiffon, thin linen, lace or chintz.

"Dress-Tatyana" can be worn at any time of the year. The main thing is that the fabric is suitable for the weather. The material can have various prints: polka dots, stripes, flowers, geometric shapes, abstraction, etc., while it is not necessary that the figure covers the entire outfit. For example, the upper part can be sewn from plain material, and the skirt from checkered. In this case, the waist area can be decorated with a stylish belt or a beautiful bow. The skirt can be sewn from one or more materials.

To create additional volume under the skirt, you can put on a petticoat. In addition, dresses with two-layer skirts are unusually beautiful. The bottom layer, in this case, needs to be made longer, and trimmed around the hem with lace or other decorative fabric. Despite the fact that the dress has a fairly simple cut, it can look elegant, solemn and expensive if you choose the right accessories for it.

“Tatyanka” can be worn with wide or narrow belts, with a bolero, with fitted blazers, sweaters, leather and jeans jackets. Raincoats and a loose-cut coat are perfect as outerwear. To create a business image, a checkered dress with a closed top and a lush bottom is perfect. If the dress has open shoulders, then you can add a beautiful shawl to the image.

The choice of accessories for a Tatyana dress primarily depends on the color and style of the dress. In a business style, it is better to limit yourself to a stylish bag or a laconic clutch of dark shades. Necklaces, beads, bracelets and bows here will look ridiculous. However, a festive outfit in such a style can be decorated with a long string of pearls, bracelets and a stylish clutch. Accessories should be the same shade or different tones of the same color. However, for a bright outfit, we strongly recommend that you select accessories of muted shades. You can add a decorative flower on a belt or shoulder to a romantic dress.

"Dress-Tatyana" can be worn with a variety of shoes. But it is much better to combine it with high-heeled shoes or a platform. They help maintain a direct posture, and the shape of the legs will be presented in the best possible way. It can be beautiful and elegant shoes, ankle boots, sandals, wedge sandals or small boots.
