Complete the dress with cuts. And not only one. It will depend on the chosen skirt. If you chose an evening dress made of silk and plan to visit a restaurant, summer cafe in it, then avoid the tight bottom.
The dress must be airy, not restricting your movements. Forms are exceptionally light, flowing. This is the perfect evening look.

Something simple, light, literally emphasizing the beauty of your eyes. Massive jewelry can significantly disrupt the integrity of a delicate summer look.
One sleeve
If you plan to attend a gala event, try wearing a long evening dress with one single sleeve. They look great. Many public figures now and then appear on catwalks and parties in similar outfits. The sleeve is predominantly long.
Versace's fashion collection has recently amazed everyone with original non-traditional evening dresses, the main attribute of which was one long sleeve. The decor turned out to be noteworthy, which made it possible to create the image of Amazons, primitive women. But if you pay attention to the “fashion” of those times, it turns out that the asymmetry was in trend. It was from there that the love for one sleeve was preserved. Of course, now they are made much more elegantly.
But, despite the well-deserved respect for Versace, the brand Vionnet became a real master in creating models with one sleeve. Slanting is the best we have seen lately. Interestingly, one single sleeve present on the evening dresses of the collection has an optimal length slightly above the elbow. For the summer season, this is the perfect solution.
Do not think that an extremely young and slender girl can afford to wear a long evening dress with one sleeve on the floor. The same Lawrence Olivier, at 56 years old, proved that this outfit is able to perfectly sit even on a mature lady.
Restrictions lie only in the skin. If it is flabby, saggy, and the chest is excessively large, then the dress with one sleeve should say loud NO. Well, or first you need to put yourself in order, go in for sports, after which you can already try a new image.
Types of sleeves
We have already said that long dresses go well with sleeves. But which ones? Let's talk about their varieties.
Flared
Flare again with leaps and bounds returns to the fashion world. Therefore, designers come up with more and more new ways to use it. The sleeve, which has a smooth extension to the bottom, perfectly combines with the dress to the floor. A certain silhouette floating in the air is created, the figure becomes light, airy.
It is better to use guipure, chiffon or silk as the material. And if you completely combine in one outfit different in terms of fabric texture, the result will exceed all your expectations. If you want to hide overly chubby handles, then your choice is a light translucent guipure.
A flare is best started from the shoulders, elbow or wrist. The last option is already full cuffs.
Lush
The splendor on the sleeve can begin from above, and then taper off, approximately from the elbow area. As you know, we are talking about flashlight sleeves. But remember, this option is suitable for young, young people.
But there is another magnificent sleeve, suitable for more mature ladies - a poet. In this case, the expansion starts from the shoulder, and the sleeve narrows only at the wrist. If you have excessively thin pens, then it will suit you perfectly.
Three quarters
You can say the classic version of the sleeves. Ending the sleeve length will be slightly below the elbows.
The beauty of the model is that it suits any girl, from thin to fat. Three quarter sleeve is best combined with long cocktail dresses made of thin knitted fabric or satin.
Raglan
You are unlikely to be surprised that the name of the type of sleeve comes from a surname. Moreover, the name of the Lord. This Englishman had the glory of a noble carduel, and therefore he watched fashion incredibly closely. In addition, Lord Raglan was still a noble warrior.
During the famous war in the Crimea, he proposed a special cut for the sleeves, especially for military uniforms. The bottom line is that the whole-cut element was folded in half, thereby eliminating unnecessary seams. Due to this, the clothes became more waterproof. The innovation was welcomed by higher authorities, as a result of which the fashion for such sleeves was preserved to this day.
Bat
Well, the name of this type of sleeve did not come from the name of the noble lord, but from a rather unpleasant living creature. Nevertheless, the sleeve itself looks much more attractive.
This, in fact, is one of the interpretations of the one-piece sleeve. But the armhole at the "bat" is underestimated, it starts from the waist level. The sleeve is created with the front and back of the outfit, the decrease begins from the shoulder to the wrist. As a result, we get the likeness of bat wings. Hence the name.
Its charm is that the sleeve hides the extra fullness, and also disguises the fat folds on the arms and waist. With it, you can emphasize the waist, as well as visually achieve harmony in the silhouette of a beautiful woman.
Narrow
This is a classic that is perfect for a long dress on the floor of a tight-fitting style. As a rule, narrow sleeves are combined with high neck performance. Due to this technique, a wonderful contrast is created - on the one hand, thin and graceful handles, and on the other hand, marked recesses in the bodice area.
So feel free to wear long dresses, go to important and fun ceremonies. Even in summer, in a long dress and with sleeves, you can be incredibly beautiful, attractive and charming. Just correctly approach the issue of choice, consider the features of your figure, emphasize the merits and carefully hide the existing flaws. Keep confidence, radiate positive and never forget that you are the best.
