Appearance story
The "fish" style is a variant of a tight-fitting dress, expanding downward. He was so named because the girl in this dress becomes like a mermaid with a chic, voluminous tail. Such an outfit appeared most likely during the Victorian era. True, at this time the train is not just a decoration. This is a clear indicator of the status of a woman: the longer, the more noble the person. But representatives of the church were categorically against such a fashion. They called the train "the tail of the devil." But today these dresses continue to be popular among fashionistas.
Back in the last century, the fishtail dress was often found in the wardrobes of famous women. Hollywood stars chose him as a dress for social events and parties. In Russia, this style became popular only in the eighties of the XX century.
The appearance of the dress gradually changed and took on new forms. Initially, it was a tight-fitting outfit, with a flared skirt starting at the knees. Now you can find a dress, the long tail of which comes from the waist, or decorated with a section flowing from behind, like a train. Fashionistas can choose for themselves any suitable option for going out to parties, or use less elegant types of dresses for formal receptions.
Who suits the style
Girls with lush, rounded hips can make their figure sexier and more elegant by choosing this style of dress. The voluminous hem, expanding from the knees, will attract attention and look harmoniously with wide hips.
But a dress with a tail descending to the floor without extension will be more suitable for ladies with the apple shape.
For girls with a lush bust, this style of dress will also appeal. The top can remain open, emphasizing the neckline, and the fluffy tail coming from the waist will make the bottom more voluminous. But with this type of figure, it is not recommended to wear a dress that will tightly fit the hips, since all attention will be focused on the chest and the image will become less harmonious.
