Dress models that have an American armhole are feminine, festive and very romantic. Such a top is most often found in evening dresses and elegant blouses.

Peculiarities

American is called the armhole, which is a diagonal cut that begins in the armpits and ends at the girl's neck. This cut allows you to keep your shoulders open.

Who is it for?

A model with such an armhole is perfect for slender girls who have small shoulders.

Some dress options look good on beauties of medium build with small breasts, narrow waist and rounded hips. The closed type of armhole is preferred by older women, and the models of dresses with an open back are preferred by young girls.

The dress, the top of which is represented by the American armhole, looks feminine and beautiful, but does not suit everyone.

Such an outfit should be discarded for women whose shoulders are broad or sloping. If a girl with such a figure still wants to wear an American dress, it should be supplemented with a fitted jacket or a light scarf.

Wedding dresses with an American armhole look very sophisticated and give an unbelievable femininity to the image, especially if the neckline is trimmed with lace or guipure.

A bit of history

For the first time, outfits with an American armhole became popular in the fifties of the 20th century, when the film with Monroe was released. The public liked the white dress of this legendary actress, which introduced such an armhole into the women's wardrobe.

By the 90s, interest in this piece of clothing faded away, but from 2011-2012, the American armhole reappeared on the catwalks.Although it has changed in modern outfits, such a sexy and sensual element can now be called quite in demand among both famous fashion designers and fashionistas.

American armhole in outfits can be represented by the following options:

  1. The model of the dress is made with an open back, but the armhole itself on the chest is closed. This is the most common dress with an American armhole. These outfits look spectacular and sexy, but sophisticated at the same time. In them, the armhole can be emphasized with lace, golden trim, mesh and other decor. Most often, such dresses are sewn from chiffon and other flowing fabrics.
  2. The armhole of this type is combined with a stand-up collar. This model acts as a compromise option for girls who do not want to expose their backs. In a dress with such a top, the shoulders will be open. A similar dress is chosen both for celebrations and for the office.
  3. The dress has a V-neckline. The armhole in such a product is represented by a loop that “hugs” the neck. This loop is available in one piece, but can also be fastened or tied.

Selection Tips

  • Before buying a dress of this style, be sure to try it on. You need to be sure that the model fits perfectly on your figure, and that all the ties or fasteners are very comfortable.
  • You should not buy a heavy dress with an American armhole, as it will put pressure on the neck and cause discomfort.
  • Remember that the style is able to visually expand and emphasize the shoulders. And therefore, the outfit will be the perfect choice for girls with narrow shoulders.
  • If your neck is short, an armhole dress with a V-neckline is the best choice. Choosing a model with a stand-up collar, you will visually make your neck even shorter. If you have a long neck, a stand-up American dress is perfect for you.

What to wear with?

Long gloves are recommended for a cocktail and evening dress decorated with an American armhole. This outfit also looks good with a stole or a fur cape. Also complement such a dress with a clutch bag and shoes with stilettos or wedges.

Accessories

Pendants on long chains, long earrings, medium-sized bracelets go well with dresses of this style.

However, if the American dress has a V-like neckline, it is better to refuse jewelry on the neck.

They write that it is not recommended to wear with sloping shoulders ... I have very sloping shoulders, and such a dress looked very feminine - like Pushkin's beauties!)

Can I wear dresses that press on my neck if I have problems with the thyroid gland and have had surgery?

Sofia, it all depends on the style, the degree of the disease and your well-being. There are different dresses of this type - this can be seen from the photo. You can choose not pressing, but only masking the neck. Naturally, if there is a feeling of pressure, you need to exclude this. First of all, you need to give up dresses with a loop that hug the neck.
