Greek style evening dresses

Ancient Greece gave the world not only the discoveries and works of great thinkers, but also beautiful legends, realistic myths about the goddesses and priestesses who inevitably were dressed in flowing clothes. Designers could not resist the beauty of the robes of the Greek goddesses and decided that modern women are no worse. Now, evening dresses in the Greek style stubbornly win their places in the wardrobe of a modern lady.

Greek dress can not be confused with other styles, since only such antique along with unique features:

• the fabric is only light and flowing;
• lines - smooth, slightly outlining the contours of the figure;
• cut - free, not constricting in movements;
• Waist - necessarily high.

The combination of all these elements underlies the creation of the Greek dress, which is often sewn in the image and likeness of the tunic. Such images can still be attributed to the “empire” style, in which the waistline and the skirt immediately beginning, which is too high to the level of the chest, are the main distinguishing characteristic.

Modern designers firmly took up Greek dresses, made their changes, created a number of new images, added details that were not there before. Even asymmetry successfully wedged into the Greek evening style. Each of these innovations is successfully embodied and gives the dress a certain zest.

We found good reviews for dresses with a draped upper or lower element. Chiffon is superior to all other fabric options. The embodiment in the model of the lower skirt year makes the dresses so chic that they are instantly disassembled by admiring young ladies.

As for the entire upper part of the evening dress in the Greek style, the variations are huge and simply unrealistic:

• single straps, double, of various widths;
• complete absence of shoulder straps;
• the presence of sleeves;
• festoons of lace, embroidery and rhinestones, placed along the entire line of the neckline and on the high belt;
• jewelry and lacing from ribbons on the back.

The presence of the train very much transforms the girl, adding royal grandeur to the image. If there is lace on the dress from above, then the image immediately acquires romance and tenderness.

In an evening dress made in the Greek style or Empire style, the bodice often acts as the main element for decoration. Designers do not skimp and try to place rhinestones, beads, sequins as finely as possible. Even Swarovski stones are used.

This season, models consisting not of one layer of fabric, but of several, are gaining popularity and relevance. In beauty, such a skirt overshadows everything that you could see before.

The Greek evening dress looks original, short in front and long in back. This is a kind of modern interpretation of style.

Even ball gowns are now made in the Greek style. There are several mandatory points that must be present in this outfit:

• the bust is compacted, expressive, with a plentiful amount of decorative elements;
• wide chiffon skirts;
• unobtrusive flow around the tissues of a girl's figure.

There is a decent place even for pleating, especially if it falls and completely covers the legs.

There are several unique outfits in the world of women's fashion that suit everyone and smooth out existing problems in the figure. For example, an Indian sari outfit and, by the way, a dress in the Greek style.

1. Lush forms will hide behind draperies, which even for a thin figure will become an opportunity to add a few pounds.
2. Having a “hourglass” figure you don’t have to worry at all - the perfect look is guaranteed.
3. It is not for nothing that pregnant women often choose dresses made exactly in the Greek style. High waist and lightweight fabrics are what you need for comfort and freedom, which is maintained during any movement. Even a small stomach is not so visible under a freely falling skirt.

You might think that Greek dresses are already so feminine and cute that no element can make them even more perfect. And no! Length experiments showed completely different results, presenting cropped Greek dresses to the entire fashionable world.

Choosing a length that reaches to the knee or falls a little lower, the girl seeks to show her legs, whose beauty does not allow them to hide behind long skirts.

In shortened models, there are still free skirts, which in overwhelming cases are constructed with chiffon. At the waist line, which also remains too high, jewelry may be present.

A long sleeve even wedged into this style, creating from a purely summer version a practical autumn version of the outfit. Shoes for a short dress do not have to have a heel, and not even the smallest one. You can focus on the situation and choose from boats or medium heels. A clutch bag is suitable for any look, but especially for this.

The Greek style in evening fashion dictates its own rules not only regarding the style, but even the choice of fabrics is significantly limited to three positions: satin, silk, chiffon. It is the fabric that is successfully selected and perfectly selected that will serve as the highlight that should be present in every outfit, especially in the evening.

Where, if not in a Greek dress, there should be rhinestones of various colors, complex lace elements, beads, embroidery, sequins, stones, and indeed, everything is beautiful, elegant and artsy. From all this assortment of jewelry that serves as a decor, you need to choose no more than two elements so that simplicity is protected and there are no divergences with the ease of fabric.

If we are dealing with classics of the Greek style, then the shoes must certainly be light: sandals, thin ribbons or straps.

With low growth, it is possible to consider the option of sandals, but they should also be light, without heavy and rough elements. Shoes, wedges and massive heels have no place in the Greek image.

But when choosing jewelry, you can slightly dilute the light image with a massive bracelet on your hand or a gold set (earrings and pendant). The hairstyle should be truly Greek: a bezel, braid or miniature diadem. A small bag will not be superfluous.

Do not think that a dress with an antique character is an exclusively summer option that you can try on in sunny weather. Shawl, stole, which can be fixed with a brooch, will not freeze. Even a coat or cloak can be combined with a spring dress in the Greek style or Empire style, if their length is not shortened, and the style does not have rough lines.
