In 2017, the sheath dress is once again among current trends... In each of its appearance on the catwalks, it demonstrates new approaches to the image, fresh solutions and the imagination of its creator.
Sheath dress is
Sheath dress is a tight midi dress without sleeves and collar. It has no seam at the waistline and is a cocktail, evening or casual option.
A bit of history
The sheath dress was first created in 1928 by Coco Chanel. By that time, her little black dress was already about two years old. The models were similar, but the sheath dress had a narrower cut and additional lines. The name was given to him "Chanel Ford". This is a kind of hint that the dress should gain fame no less than the Ford-T.
The first wave of popularity swept it in the 30s, during the period when its mass production began. The model of that time is different from those that women are accustomed to in modern times. A closer version was designed by Christian Dior twenty years later. For the first time, women of that time had the opportunity to wear tight-fitting dresses, which the representatives of the aristocratic society liked.
During this period of time, 60 years of the last century, the sheath dress experienced a second wave of popularity. If earlier a sheath dress was sewn in black, now it appeared in various color solutions.
Who suits
A woman of any age and physique can afford this dress. Women with a non-standard figure, taking it as the basis of the image, can use many tricks to correct flaws. These include accessories, jewelry, additional wardrobe items, shoes and hair. Upgraded sheath dresses can successfully solve these problems on their own. You just need to choose the right model of the dress.
Beautiful styles and models
Any additional detail from the hand of a talented designer can transform a thing. The dress will not only look different, but also perform certain functions. Some add-ons are universal and will suit most women, others - only for some of them. Although the latter are of significant benefit in solving problems with silhouette correction.
Much attention of a woman is attracted by the design of the neck, the presence of additional details or open areas. For work, a woman chooses options for a sheath dress that are close to the classic model. As a cocktail option - dresses with cutouts or open body areas: shoulders, back. These beautiful models dresses have gained widespread popularity.
Basque
Basque won the love of women in the last century, coming into French fashion from national costumes Spanish Basques. In modern times, the Basque began to actively appear in the wardrobe of women, starting in 2012, when fashionable world catwalks designated it as one of the trends of new collections.

Basque will add volume to women with narrow hips and hide the tummy or insufficiently rounded buttocks. She is able to transform the most simple model dresses, adding character and appeal to her.
With open back
One of the current ways to attract attention and stand out from the rest of the women is to wear a dress with an open back. This technique is used by representatives of the beau monde, demonstrating revealing outfits at social parties. The red carpet requires bright images. Therefore, celebrities, whose figure allows them to resort to any daring experiments, often purchase just such dresses.
Currently, dresses with an open back are decorated with rhinestones, beads, sequins and lace. Decorated dresses with an open back look expensive, give a woman a more seductive look and allow you to diversify the range of dresses as much as possible. The open back stretches the silhouette, so these dresses are recommended for women of short stature.
Off shoulder
Among the dresses with bare shoulders two common styles can be distinguished: a bandeau dress and a dress with an American armhole. Each of these models has significant advantages. The bandeau dress hugs the top of the body, revealing the shoulders and neckline. It draws attention to the shoulders, so this version of the dress will not work for women with an inverted triangle body type. For women with a triangle body type, it is shown.
The cut of a dress with an American armhole can be tight or loose in the chest. In both cases, it shows the shoulders. Therefore, girls with wide or sloping shoulders should also avoid such a dress.
With flounces on the shoulders
A dress with flounces can have several types of cut. Some open the shoulders, others have asymmetrical necklines and one shoulder open. For others, the flounces are located along the seam of the sleeves or the neck, and the shoulders are completely covered. All these models significantly increase the upper part of the figure and are recommended for women with narrow shoulders.
Boat neckline
The neckline got its name from its small but wide boat-like shape. He evenly opens his shoulders, visually increasing them. A dress with such a neckline is able to balance a figure with wide hips.

Classic
The classic model of a sheath dress is designed to the best way emphasize grace, beauty female body... It repeats the shape of an hourglass, strives for a universal, perfect silhouette, without being distracted by unnecessary details. Therefore, the model was not provided with sleeves, collar or additional seams, except for the darts on the chest.
The length of such a model reaches the middle of the knee. With this length and the absence of a horizontal seam at the waist, the dress does not shorten the woman's height and is suitable for short, medium or tall women.
With asymmetrical neckline
The asymmetrical neckline on the dress is associated with freedom and playfulness. A dress with an asymmetrical neckline does not require additional decorations on the neck. But if it bares one shoulder, then the bracelet on the arm from the side of the open area will help balance the image. Asymmetry attracts attention, so this is another good option for a dress for women with wide hips.
Spaghetti Straps and Strapless
Wide and narrow straps have different properties. The narrower the straps, the wider the shoulders appear. Dresses with narrow straps are not suitable for overweight women, women with inverted triangle and rectangle body types. They need to choose the widest possible straps.

Short-sleeve
Short sleeves on dresses are often decorative, although they should also be chosen based on the characteristics of the figure. Because the short sleeves only slightly cover the hands, the cut is important for them. By design, they can be one-cut, set-in, combined and raglan.
Among the set-in sleeves one can distinguish “wings”, “flashlight”, flutter and “tulip”. Of the listed options, only the wing sleeves and the adjacent tulip sleeves do not create extra volume. Other types of sleeves widen the shoulders, so they are suitable for women who need to balance wide hips.
