Bucket dress - for extravagant women

Despite the fact that trousers and suits have long and firmly settled in our wardrobes, the dress is still the most feminine element of clothing. Only in a dress can a girl feel like a truly graceful and fragile creature. However, classic fluffy or tight-fitting dresses quickly get bored, so designers are always in search of new fashionable solutions.

Over the past century, many original styles of dresses have appeared for a variety of occasions. This article is dedicated to one of the most extravagant models - a dress-bag. We will tell you about what it is, who suits it and how to wear it correctly.

While such a bold cut is considered a recent invention, its prototype appeared about 300 years ago. At that time, women began to think that outfits should be not only beautiful, but also comfortable, allowing them to move comfortably. It was then that dresses appeared vaguely similar to modern "bags" - with a classic tight bodice and long sleeves, but with a very fluffy and loose skirt.

Pretty soon, the fashion for spacious outfits was forgotten, and the next time a sack dress appeared on the fashion scene after the First World War, when simple and unassuming clothes began to be preferred. However, the real popularity came to this model only in the middle of the last century, when it began to appear in the collections of famous couturiers.

Today, a sack dress is a casual wear option for girls who lead a dynamic lifestyle.In its modern incarnation, such a dress can be complemented with various details: pockets, sleeves or a collar.

Straight cut bag dress. This is a classic version of this model. Under such a dress, all the curves and bulges of the figure are hidden, so many girls, to create a more feminine image, intercept the outfit at the waist with a belt or strap.

Cropped bag dress. This is the summer version of this style. In a spacious dress with a mid-thigh skirt, you will be comfortable even on the hottest day. Models for summer are usually sewn from thin, natural fabrics of bright colors - chiffon, chintz, linen, etc.

Bucket dress with zipper closure. Another variation of this outfit. A zipper on clothes can be not only a functional, but also a decorative element. Dresses with a long fastener on the back look especially impressive: the vertical line visually stretches and narrows the figure.

Wrap bag dress. It is a cross between a dress and a robe without a belt. It looks very unusual, but not every girl will dare to wear it, as it can visually deform the proportions of the figure. Quite often, these dresses have wide sleeves.

The dress-bag is a very specific outfit and, unfortunately, it does not suit everyone. It is believed that only tall, slender girls can afford a dress of this style, since the rectangular shape makes the figure shorter and more voluminous.
