Follow the general rules of propriety. For example, adult women are encouraged to choose a solid cut and austere outlines. And young girls can afford a little frivolity - a shortened length, seductive cuts, translucent inserts.
Full ladies should look for the appropriate halftones, the optimal cut and the recommended size of the peas. Read about it in the corresponding section below.
Small growth can be visually increased by wearing a little thing with peas of a slightly elongated, oval shape. Complete the ensemble with high stilettos and opt for a midi or maxi length.

Well, any model suits tall and slender ladies. We advise you to choose a shade to your face, and choose the right accessories. The main thing with them is not to overdo it!
Fashionable styles
There are many styles in which peas feel delicious. We propose to study this item in detail:

- With a flared skirt. Such a toilet comes out incredibly feminine and romantic. He transforms even an imperfect figure into an ideal one, giving it the shape of an hourglass. Adds charm and personality to the bow.
Such a thing is in perfect harmony with a lush, openwork petticoat. You will get a pin-up style retro-look - by the way, nowadays insanely fashionable. Find a bright color: for example, pink, yellow, red and white, or vice versa.
- Off the shoulder, deep neckline. This model lends sophistication and sexuality. A cool choice for walking with your loved one, a first date, a vacation at sea. The top can be made on a loose elastic band, thin straps, without straps, on a corset basis.
- The dress comes with or without sleeves. The sleeves themselves can be tight-fitting or loose. Short or long. Flared or straight.
- Basque... This element serves as a decoration, it perfectly emphasizes the waist. Therefore, girls with a small tummy love him. He magically slims the figure, while he himself is strict and elegant. Fits organically into the business genre.

- Dress shirt... This is a very fashionable style today, which is worn with high boots and belted with a wide belt. If desired, you can create your own combinations. Peas help set off an outfit and give it a catchy look.
Important! So that the image does not turn out to be vulgar, choose a dress carefully. If the size of the peas is large, let the silhouette of the thing be as simple as possible.
Length matters
The height of the dress is an important parameter that affects the complex bow. A floor-length dress is a win-win option for a special occasion. It looks expensive, chic, graceful. Visually lengthens growth, gives refinement and grace.
Midi size, or just below the knee, is great for almost all ladies. Such attire seems elegant and discreet. It is moderately open, but not vulgar.
Try it with heels and a high hairstyle that reveals a delicate neck. By the way, a string of pearls will be just right there.
A mini skirt is a lot for young girls with slender and straight legs. Unfortunately, this option is too flirty for a grown woman. It also requires perfect legs. Brave ladies wear such a product for a holiday. It is convenient for a walk or a picnic in it.
Pea sizes
It would seem the same drawing. But how different it looks if you change its value, frequency. Let's consider this in detail:
- The shallow diameter allows you to adjust the shape and silhouette. He is a godsend for girls with a slight corpulence. It is also the best option for a business dress code.
- The large circle is considered a noble classic. It doesn't suit everyone because it adds visual dimension. It also looks a little pretentious, so you should use such a toilet with care. Always clarify the nature of the event.
On a note! If you need to highlight some part of the figure or draw attention to the elements of the cut, large peas localized in this area will perfectly cope with such a task.
- A combination of peas of different diameters is actual. Especially if they are located on light, flowing matter in a chaotic manner. The look is effective and complete even without accessories.
What material are they sewn from?
The print gracefully sets off any fabric texture. It fits well on both matte and glossy textures. Let's start in order:
- Cotton. This is the best example for a hot summer. The fabric is highly breathable, the body breathes and does not sweat. It is convenient and comfortable in it. It also has very good wear resistance. Popular models are flared, airy, puffy sundresses, shirt dresses.
- Knitwear. The elastic material fits perfectly on the figure, it is very pleasant to feel it, it is comfortable to be in it. It is great for everyday use. The denser texture is intended for the winter period, and the thinner one for the summer.
- Chiffon.The little things turn out to be delicate, playful, weightless. The transparency of matter involves the introduction of a lining.
Such a dress is well suited for evening dresses for obese women. An opaque and dense base will hide ugly rolls and folds. And seductive chiffon with pretty polka dots will showcase feminine forms.
- Atlas... It is used for sewing elegant and graceful evening dresses. It is in perfect harmony with organza, lace, guipure in decoration.
- Silk. Like the atlas, it looks elegant and festive. Silk dresses are suitable for summer. Colors sit very brightly on them, so the spots are especially expressive. The luxurious shine of the fabric will emphasize the sophistication of the fashionista's bow.
Choosing the best color
The color of the pea print is of great importance. A dark pattern on a light one is considered a classic. But the mirror variation does not lag behind in demand. For example, a strict black dress with white or beige spots is quite suitable for the office. The chic red is the perfect choice for a prom with girlfriends. For a celebration, find a non-dark product with large polka dots. And what a sensual tandem will turn out from the delicate, pastel color of the fabric and the snow-white guipure for the petticoat!
- Red... Suitable for slender ladies. And also brave, who are not afraid to stand out and turn their eyes on themselves. Floor-length cuts made of airy fabric are especially effective.
- White... This is the best choice for summer, sea, walks, sunny days. The cut can be anything. Peas are most often red or black. The snow-white bow looks noble and aristocratic. Put on a wide-brimmed hat and laconic pumps.
- Brown. The image will turn out to be very restrained and strict. Modest and graceful at the same time. Acceptable dress code colors.
- Black... A traditional classic for all occasions. On a dark canvas, light pictures are especially expressive.
- Blue. Creates a dramatic contrast. The color of the circles can be light or dark, from snow-white to blue, turquoise, aqua.
Note. Blue shades do not always suit dark-skinned young ladies of the autumn or spring color type. They'd better stick with a warm palette.
- Yellow, pink, green undertones from pastel colors look no less romantic. This spectrum is considered the most touching option. It is also youthful and refreshing.
Is the outfit suitable for overweight ladies?
It will not only fit, but also help visually bring the parameters closer to the ideal. Follow the advice of fashion stylists and feel free to wear a beautiful pattern:
- A combination of peas of different diameters is considered successful;
- It is undesirable to take material with large and rare circles. On the contrary, the finer and more often the fabric dazzles, the slimmer the figure will appear;

- For the "pear" type, you should find a product with puffy sleeves, bare shoulders. For the "apple" we recommend buying a model with a basque. A flared skirt suits ladies with an inverted triangle type.

- Shoes it is also recommended to take monophonic ones, without an abundance of straps, buckles, designer pieces. It is advisable to choose a high heel or wedge heel.
