Representatives of the fair sex probably know how important it is to look feminine. The embodiment of tenderness are skirts and dresses. If a lady wants to be a true lady, there should be more than one romantic set in her wardrobe. Wardrobe items that make the image softer include skirts with flounces. About how to choose, with what to combine and how to sew such a skirt - in today's article.
Brief description of the model
True fashionistas are well aware of what this model is, but nevertheless we recall that a skirt with frills is the original cut of a free skirt, to the bottom of which decorative fabric elements are sewn. The model looks festive, voluminous and attractive - shuttlecocks always attract attention.
Who is it for?
Despite the beauty of this product, the model is not suitable for all women. Here are some tips to help you figure out if a skirt with flounces is right for you or not:
- overweight women will visually add unnecessary volume to the skirt;
- for ladies with a wide chest and voluminous shoulders, the model is ideal - the volume of the skirt will equalize the top with the bottom;
- if the figure resembles a rectangle, a similar cut will help to highlight the waist;
- pear-shaped forms from a skirt with frill should be abandoned, because the wide hips visually increase. An option for women with this type of figure can be a long and straight skirt with a flounce at the bottom.
Determine what type your figure belongs to and decide if this model is right for you.

Long skirts
One of the most delicate images can be created from a skirt to the floor and a lace or light top. In addition, a long skirt with frills will perfectly hide the imperfections of the figure that you would like to hide from prying eyes.
During hot summers or warm springs, this model perfectly complements the everyday look or working office style.
The advantage of the skirt is the possibility of using an open top. You should remember the rule that with a free cut of the skirt, the top should be tight-fitting, otherwise you run the risk of getting a completely formless something. A top made of lace or a tight-fitting material is perfect. For cooler weather, you can use a long-sleeved T-shirt that emphasizes the curves.
As for shoes, you need to focus on your preferences. Remember that such a model of skirt involves shoes on a flat stroke. Perfectly complement the image of light ballet shoes, leather sandals or stylish slip-ons.
Short skirts
Confident and willing to demonstrate their legs the world should take a closer look at short skirts with frills. Do not forget that such a model is suitable only for slender young girls. On women aged, a playful short skirt will be somewhat inappropriate. Why wear a skirt with frill so as not to look vulgar?
Combine a short skirt with slim jeans shirts or a slightly loose cotton shirt. For colder weather, you can choose a sweatshirt. A short skirt goes well with half-closed tops or blouses, so you should not focus on any area of the body except the legs.
Shoes can be selected according to the weather. To create a stylish rocker look, try wearing a short skirt in combination with sneakers. For a walk around the city, opt for slippers or light sandals.
Skirts with straight flounces

A classic straight skirt with flounces below and knee-length is especially good with open sandals with thin heels and a tight-fitting top with thin straps. This bow favorably emphasizes the fragility of a woman and her sophistication.
Flared sun
A similar style of skirts is most often used in cases where they create images for theatrical productions or thematic dances. Due to the large amount of fabric, the hem of the skirt perfectly stretches up and can serve as an element of dance.
If you decide to choose a sun-flare for everyday wear, then keep in mind that moderation of the upper and shoes are important here, because all the attention is taken by the noticeable cut of the skirt.
As a top, a tight-fitting silhouette blouse or top, preferably monophonic, is suitable for this type of skirt. If the skirt is made of printed fabric, then the top should be as simple as possible. Jewelry is best used minimalist and sophisticated, shoes fit without a heel.
