Who suits
Products made from a very specific material will not be appropriate at every event and will not suit all female representatives.
Remember the following points:
- The surface of the material is covered with microscopic villi, which create additional volume. Therefore, such vestments should be chosen by slender young ladies with a toned body.
- A tight-fitting short dress can draw attention to problem areas, others will notice the existing folds on the abdomen or massive hips. You can divert your gaze from such defects with the help of a well-chosen style, but still few can afford a tight-fitting evening toilet.
- Some restrictions apply to age. Previously, velvet was associated with high status, wealth and maturity of a lady. Because of this, some models may look inharmonious on young ladies, but they will emphasize the impeccable taste, sense of harmony and wisdom of an older woman.
Also, do not fit them into the office and business style - the attractive power of the surrounding views is very great. But on special occasions, whether it be a trip to a restaurant, a wedding ceremony, an official event or another celebration, velvet will reveal its potential to 100%.
This fabric is quite dense and warm, so the best time to wear these dresses is autumn and winter.
Fashionable styles
Barely touching such vestments, you can feel like a queen.
There are several types of velvet, from which toilets of unimaginable beauty are sewn:
- plush - has long fibers (up to 8 mm);
- velor - has a velvety surface and medium-length pile;
- corduroy - vaguely resembles royal fabric, but with thick pile and longitudinal ribs on the front side;
- semi-velvet - pile fibers are longer, located less frequently. Has a cotton base.
With a slit
Accentuates seductive feminine forms with a side cut that exposes the leg.
Asymmetrical
Such a popular element has found itself in this direction. Here asymmetry is expressed in armholes on one shoulder or when creating bandeau dresses.
Sheath dress
This style is used to being considered an office style, however, due to its velvety, the case turns into a magnificent attire, full of charm and sophistication.
The dress-case perfectly hides figure flaws. You can appear in it in a theater or restaurant, at a dinner party or a celebration.
Several stylish options:
Lush
The so-called A-line with a deep neckline draws attention to the bust and distracts attention from the large hips. High-waisted vintage designs are also popular.
With open back
This emphasis will clearly not go unnoticed in public. In this case, the front can be made in lace motifs.
Combined options
Heavyweight fabric impresses with weightless lace inserts. Guipure can be present as edging on the hem or sleeves, or it can act as a full-fledged element in the form of an insert that covers the neckline or a deep cut on the back. The novelty of the season are models in which the velvety layer acts as a lining under a layer of lace that imitates openwork knitting.
Variations of velvet-satin and velvet-silk also look great. Designers have already presented their creations at the latest fashion shows.
The best colors
The shade of the garment plays a key role in shaping the look. Today, emerald tones are in vogue, they are appropriate for youth parties. The beauty and good sense of style of older ladies will fully reveal rich scarlet colors.
For a business meeting, you can look towards blue, the variety of which is great: from rich indigo to light blue and aqua.
In general, an unusual kind of matter requires interesting color schemes. The splendor of plum, burgundy, cherry and other undertones will delight the eye.
Do not forget about the lifestyle and taste preferences of the fashionista. It is best when the clothes are comfortable. Shining eyes, a breathtaking smile and a good mood are more important than the announced trends.
Black
Such a classic will give the owner charm and elegance, and also, importantly, visually make her slimmer.
Red
Bright and challenging color suits strong-minded individuals. The scarlet robe is intended exclusively for significant occasions, no one dares to call it ordinary.
Try to choose a shade of red that will ideally match the color type of your appearance.
Blue
A representative of a cold color scheme will emphasize the aristocracy of its owner.
Does length matter?
The answer to this question is obvious: of course yes!
Further arguments explain why:
- evening dress to the floor visually lengthens the silhouette, makes the girl slimmer, so everyone can afford it. Seductive options with mid-thigh cutouts. However, minimalist design creations are also captivating, with great appeal in their simplicity and ingenuity. Such models are designed for special occasions, in a long dress you will not be able to go to a club or a dance party, it will be uncomfortable in it, and such a bow looks somewhat ridiculous;
- short samples fell in love with young women. They open up long legs, suitable for attending youth parties, going to a club or restaurant. Styles differ from each other in the cut of skirts, sleeves, cutouts and other elements.
Is it suitable for overweight ladies?
Excess weight is far from a sentence. Plump ladies also have the right to look beautiful. Moreover, rounded shapes are appreciated by many men much more than angular thinness.
When choosing attire for an upcoming event, the following points should be kept in mind:
- the fullness of the handles will help to hide the sample with long sleeves and closed shoulders;
- a deep neckline will distract attention from a large belly;
- The V-neck will visually lengthen the neck and stretch the face;
- Longitudinal folds along the entire length and the smell visually slim.
The real salvation of appetizing donuts are charcoal colors. They hide extra pounds at the right time.
At the same time, in the presence of excess weight, it is worth abandoning cream and beige undertones, since they tend to visually add hateful centimeters.
Stylists' offers for women Plus-Size
The key to success is the right style.Style connoisseurs offer many different options to help cope with the existing problem of excess weight:
- High-waisted swatches help stretch your legs and hide your tummy. At the same time, the deep neckline demonstrates the beauty's main trump card - the bust;
- the case model looks austere and businesslike, this is a classic solution for a puffer with the correct proportions. A good addition is the zipper on the back;
- if you have beautiful shoulders, choose an offer with or without straps. The drapery in this case will camouflage the protruding sides;
- an a-line dress should be present in the wardrobe of an elegant woman. Ideally fits the hourglass shape.
What shoes are suitable
If you decide to put on a breathtaking toilet, then choose your shoes with all responsibility. The choice should fall on the shoes, other options are inappropriate here.
Laconic pumps with stiletto heels or other stable heels will best emphasize the elegance of the chosen outfit.
The material also plays an important role. For example, suede or velor, we put a categorical "no". Despite the fact that they are very similar in texture and appearance and texture, this is how you run the risk of "overloading" the image, because the dress should remain the central detail.
The best option is leather, color - classic black, shoes to match the clothes - mauvais ton.
Refuse from patent leather shoes, because they can also distract attention from the main figure in the image.
Evening fashion
Velvety outfits attract maximum attention in the evening, as the entire fabric reveals its chic under artificial lighting. A simple cut can act as the main trump card of the image, but do not forget about interesting details that will help to achieve perfection:
- appliqués, asymmetry and exclusive finishes;
- light drapery - the beauty of velvety fabrics is hidden in iridescent folds. An excess of folds is undesirable, but a small number of folds or a small flare are welcome;
- do not bust with jewelry and other accessories.
Here are some great combinations:
Everyday options
Many believe that this material is impractical, quickly worn out and difficult to maintain. Remember: expensive and high-quality velvet does not behave like that. You can easily find clothes for your daily use, whether it's shopping or going to work. Moreover, the designers have developed a lot of variations for this.
Straight cut, frill or frill trim, crinkled fabric effect, elegant embroidered collars and frill proved to be good.
For the summer season, sundress dresses with thin knee-length straps will fit. For young ladies, stylists recommend cute mini-dresses with a variety of skirts and sleeves.
