Each self-respecting girl’s wardrobe should have lace dresses, if not several, then at least one. Clothing made of this openwork material can turn even the most brutal representative of the fair sex into a cute princess, and vice versa, wearing such an outfit, any gray mouse will become a sexy heartbreaker. But there are several golden rules that tell you how to wear lace dresses, and today we will open them for our readers.
Dressed from the past, straight to the future
Once lace was available only to a very small number of fashionistas. Light translucent fabrics were woven manually from expensive raw materials, and therefore many could not afford. Now, good lace dresses are also expensive, especially when it comes to designer clothes created by world-famous couturiers, but still they do not fall into the category of inaccessible luxury.
Despite the fact that guipure has been enjoying constant popularity for more than a century, a few years ago there was no such boom on clothes from this openwork material, as it is now. Typically, lace was used for sewing formal wear or as a decorative finish for the main material. The lace dress to modern girls seemed archaic and outdated. Something that for many years was gathering dust in an old grandmother's chest. But the designers returned this glorious material to its former glory and, offering fashionable women luxurious dresses from lace, did not fail.
What style do lace dresses belong to?
A definite answer to this question cannot be given. The style of the dress is determined more by its style than by the material. But in the case of lace, one cannot reason so unambiguously. The gentle and airy material in itself evokes thoughts of romanticism, and therefore it is to the ladies who prefer this style that a dress with lace is more suitable than others. The photo presented further nevertheless strongly refutes the exclusive belonging of guipure to clothes in ruffles and ruffles.
The restrained style of the dress and the addition in the form of a classic jacket will make the image very businesslike, but moderately strict, with a subtle hint of femininity and tenderness. But if you go even further and beat the lace with leather, a denim shirt, boots with plaques and rough jewelry, you will be able to realize a unique and unlike anything glam rock.
Work dress code
Of course, all girls love dresses, especially when they are truly luxurious and make you feel like a queen in any setting. But the reality is that we don’t have the opportunity to wear such outfits as often as we would like. But this is not a reason to deny yourself the beauty! Business style does not shackle a woman in typical blue-gray colors of costume fabrics. Lace can and should even be worn for work.
We make a reservation that a black dress with lace is not the best option for the office. It is not too formal and is more suitable for a cocktail party, and not for solving business issues.
Fortunately, designers offer girls a lot of beautiful outfits with lace trim for work. It is better to stop your choice on restrained dresses that are up to the middle of the knee in gray, blue, beige tones. They are universal and will look appropriate in almost any environment. But do not miss the opportunity to treat yourself to other beautiful natural flowers:
- sky blue;
- rose quartz;
- peach;
- walnut;
- light brown;
- mint;
- dark green;
- taup;
- purple violet.
All these shades are quite conservative, but have a pronounced saturation, and therefore will help to emphasize the individuality of the girl.
The red carpet is waiting for you!
Choosing an evening outfit, you can forget about modesty and treat yourself to a riot of colors and the original style of the dress. Nevertheless, we want to pay attention - it is important to choose your ideal image.
- Firstly, there should be a small space between the body and the cloth of the dress for freedom of fit.
- Secondly, a too short lace dress will look like a nightgown, and not like an outfit worn to go out.
- Thirdly, a dress that consists entirely of guipure and has no lining is not comme il faut. Only secular divas, shining at concerts and shocking the audience, can afford to wear this, but if a girl attends a prom or a wedding party, she should wear something more chaste.
Accessories should be restrained and emphasize the appearance of their owner. Makeup is also best done as natural as possible by highlighting either the eyes or lips. Shoes are selected neutral - narrow beige boats in leather or patent. Massive, flashy jewelry in the case of lace is also "not the case." A string of pearls, an elegant bracelet, a catchy ring with stones or beautiful earrings will look much more harmonious, but only one thing. It is strictly forbidden to wear everything at once - this is a sign of bad taste.
Ah, this wedding ...
Wedding dresses with lace are probably the most beautiful. Guipure is a traditional material for sewing wedding dresses. It is openwork lace with its stunning edge, elegant pattern and delicate texture that will best help to emphasize the girl's youth and innocence, her grace and freshness.
They usually don’t sew the whole dress from lace - with this fabric they drape the line of the neckline and shoulders, cover the back, or let it go along the hem. Although there are stunning models of outfits, entirely consisting of delicate guipure. In this case, it is usually not about magnificent styles, but about dresses of a straight cut, A-line and a "little mermaid". In a lace version, a mini-wedding dress or a front-cropped model with a train will also look wonderful and romantic. For the wedding, not only white dresses with lace are relevant, but also dresses of such delicate shades as ecru, champagne, coffee with milk, cream, cream, soft pink.
Solid openwork
For tailoring formal dresses, stylists do not recommend using red lace or combining scarlet with charcoal black. This is an overly flashy combination that does not decorate a woman, vulgarize her. If the dress consists entirely of guipure, its cut should be as simple as possible - without ruffles, frills, layering and any other frills. The exception is only a train - it can be long and magnificent, but the top in this case needs to be simplified as much as possible. Dresses with a closed front and a fully or partially bare back look elegant. Such a style is always a win-win option. A lace dress with an open back favorably emphasizes a beautiful figure and makes the image of a girl incredibly light and alluring.
Graceful details
Guipure and lace can be used not only as the main material for sewing a dress, but also for its decor. Moreover, almost any part of the outfit is decorated with lace fabric, and each new version will look completely different. It can be dresses with lace below, on sleeves or a bodice, on a skirt or only on a peplum, the back or a part of it can also be openwork - in any case, a veiled hint of nakedness will give the dress a valid note of sexuality and passion.
