The history and formation of the black dress in the wardrobe
Little black dress, from french Le Petite Robe noir - a knee-length dress suitable for formal, solemn, everyday appearances. Appeared and came into fashion with the help of Coco Chanel. In 1926, the designer created the concept of a universal outfit of a simple cut, loved by women all over the world.
The black color made the dress especially practical, neutral, easy in combinations and always relevant. Stunning success came after the frequent appearances of Audrey Hepburn in this dress. Her outfit from Givenchy in the film "Breakfast at Tiffany's" made the black dress iconic. The image presented in the picture is the personification of the standard of wearing a small black dress with pearl jewelry.
Yves Saint Laurent also contributed to the popularization of black dresses. In his collections, models of the shade of a raven's wing often flash. Not far behind is Christina Stambolian, whose dress has become one of Princess Diana's calling cards. It was in it that she came to a gala dinner at the Serpentine Gallery and caught a lot of unkind glances, because the outfit did not fit into the dress code.
Other stars also can not deny themselves pleasure and often go out in a black dress. A big fan of this versatile outfit is Angelina Jolie - she chooses knee-length styles for daytime and evening outings.

The right length of the dress
Build, height, features of the figure affect the correctness of the length of the ideal dress. In order not to spoil the figure, it is important to know your length:
- Above the knees. If you are the owner of long legs, you can afford even an ultra-short mini, and if not- choose models a little longer, complementing with heels, platform shoes;

- Up to the knees - the same length, suitable for almost any girl. Flat shoes and heels are suitable here;
@milenasmitm
- Below the knees - this length is suitable for tall and medium-sized girls. Miniature ladies length will visually "steal" growth. You can solve the problem by choosing a dress with an asymmetrical bottom and complementing with heeled shoes, but we advise you to prefer knee-length models.

Choose the style according to the figure
Sometimes it's very difficult to know what's right for you and what's not. To do this, we made a mini-instruction that helps to choose the style based on the features of the figure:
- A classic triangular dress up to the knees is an option that is well suited to owners of lush hips and a small tummy. If the hands are slightly full, look at dresses of this style with long sleeves;
- A fitted classic dress just above the knee with a three-quarter sleeve is a model for girls with a tummy and full arms, in which the upper and lower parts are proportional. To abandon this style is with long legs or an elongated body;
- The dress is suitable for girls with a thin top, voluminous bottom and slender ankles. The lush skirt of the dress will hide too wide hips, full buttocks, legs. If it's all about you, the outfit will look 100%;
- A dress with a scent is a dress where one part goes to another, goes to all types of figures and is comfortable. Difficulty in wearing causes the owners of miniature breasts, but everything is corrected by the correct bodice.
Choice of dress material
Few people pay attention to this, but fabric plays an important role in creating a beautiful silhouette and may or may not fit different girls. For example, a velvet dress is full, and satin materials, on the contrary, decorate girls with shapes:
- Cotton – Soft cotton is practical, versatile and suitable for any type of figure, especially relevant in the styles of boho and casual. It will emphasize the advantages, and with the right style of the dress, it will also hide the flaws;
@namelazz
- Leather - fabric is suitable for sports girls with a rectangular type of figure. Girls with shapes are better off avoiding such dense fabrics;
@ladyelizacummings
- Knitwear - treat it with caution, choosing under the type of figure. For fat girls, tight knitwear is preferable - it will help hide flaws. Thin on the contrary fits an athletic physique;
- Satin and silk - for rounded shapes this is an excellent solution. Flowing fabric will emphasize the merits, while coarse fabrics will add extra pounds. Lightweight fabrics are ideal for linen-style dresses;
@alexanderwangny
- Corduroy and velvet are materials that tend to fill, so curvy girls will not be suitable. But if you want to give the figure volume, then they are just for you.

Dress models for different types of figures
No need to be upset anymore looking in the mirror at an incorrectly built silhouette. Now you will receive a master class on choosing the ideal version of the dress:
- Pear - girls with narrow shoulders, a thin waist, but a lush bottom need to balance the bottom and top, focusing on the waist. The shoulders should be voluminous, textured, and the hem straight or moderately tight;
@lime_official
- Inverted triangle - those who have broad shoulders, narrow hips, no pronounced waist will suit models with a curvy bottom. Tutus, cleavers, trapezoids will narrow the top, emphasizing the waist. It is better to choose a tight top, with a fixation at the neck and an "American" neckline;
@namelazz
- Apple - owners of thin arms and legs, but a voluminous body without a pronounced waist need to focus on the legs and neckline, stretching the silhouette. Suitable straight cuts, dresses-cases with an open neck, short sleeves and length above the knee;
- Hourglass - a balanced type of figure is worth emphasizing and almost any style copes with this. You can afford a tight silhouette and a short hem, but it is important to know the measure so as not to look vulgar;
- Rectangle - a physique without "outstanding" shoulders, waist, hips, buttocks needs an emphasis on the waist. To do this, choose models with boat cutouts, puffy sleeves and a flared hem. Complement the bow with a wide belt.
