Choosing a boudoir dress

The concept of a boudoir dress was introduced into the world of fashion by Russian designers. This wedding attribute appeared not so long ago, but has already won the hearts of women who would like to look feminine and elegant in the brightest and most unforgettable moments of life: the morning after the wedding, pregnancy, photo session.

It is customary to wear a boudoir dress over a beautiful set of underwear. The peculiarity of such clothes is the use of light and translucent fabrics, abundantly decorated with lace, embroidery, ribbons, beads, rhinestones or ornaments. The dress can be sewn from tulle in one layer or double, from lace, guipure or silk. This romantic-looking outfit is somewhat reminiscent of a wedding dress, but the style is chosen more open and frank, designed to charm and seduce. The outfit can be made not only in various styles and cuts, but also in any color scheme. In such airy clothes, you can organize a memorable photo session or spend the morning before the bride gathering.

A boudoir outfit is not simple clothes, but the personification of purity and tenderness, which is emphasized by pastel shades and lightness of the fabric. But at the same time, the product can be more solid, sewn from dense guipure, shiny satin, silk. At the same time, the cut is chosen classic: with long sleeves and a long train with decor. Such a stately dress is usually decorated with rich embroidery or expensive lace.

In contrast to the classics, the outfit is also emphatically erotic. Then it is performed in scarlet or black tones, and fur, pieces of leather, mesh inserts, overhead decorative embroidered elements are used as decorative trim.

As for the classic boudoir dress, its style has certain elements.

• Skirt - this part is of a straight silhouette with an extension downward, decorated with embroidery or consisting of several tiers and layers, trimmed with ruffles or frills in the form of flounces.

• Sleeves - can be short, ¾ long or long with a cuff and fastener, or gathered with an elastic band at the wrist. A common form of long sleeves is the kimono or batwing style. Another option is the long sleeve extended downwards, called the "princess".

• Dress length - most often it is on the floor, but there may be shortened versions (up to the knee level and even higher).

The boudoir style is characterized by deep necklines, while the high-waisted models are used by curvy ladies or pregnant women.

The styles of the dress for the boudoir are as varied as you like. It can be a fancy dress for pregnant women, for the morning of the bride, a wedding option or clothes for a photo shoot. Styles developed by modern designers not only amaze with their beauty and elegance, but also allow you to choose clothes for various uses.

The boudoir dress can be as follows:

• classic straight and flying or long and tight-fitting;
• reminiscent of a luxurious dress with a large neckline and a fastener with 2-3 buttons in the chest area;
• a spare robe that does not have a fastener;
• mini dress that reaches mid-thigh;
• rich dress to the floor, decorated with a train;
• sleeveless dress with a deep cut on the chest;
• dress with long sleeves and closed shoulders, with a high waistline.

On the first morning after the wedding, a woman can put on a peignoir, robe or boudoir dress. No matter how beautiful the dressing gown is, it still remains an ordinary household dress. Peignoir is a more revealing outfit, but it does not have luxury and grace.

If you compare a silk robe and a boudoir dress with each other, you will immediately and easily find a lot of differences between these items of women's clothing:

• the basis of the dress is expensive and airy materials, while cheaper fabrics are used for the robe;
• the dress is adorned with graceful embroidery, rhinestones, rich decoration, and such delights are useless for a dressing gown;
• boudoir clothing styles are varied and sophisticated, while the dressing gown most often looks like a kimono.

Boudoir-style models are characterized by the fact that they are all diverse, and it is quite difficult to find a similar outfit. This fact gives a woman personality and charm. Dresses are often sewn according to design projects created for a specific purpose.

A boudoir dress suits all women without exception - you just need to correctly assess your silhouette and find a suitable outfit option.

• Girls with a slender figure can choose any style of dress. It can be a straight fit or flowy and airy. The dress can be white, beige, blue, turquoise, lemon or even black.

• For women with curvaceous shapes, a flared cut with long sleeves and a deep cut on the chest will suit. A fluffy tiered skirt will help to hide an imperfect figure. You can choose the color of the clothes in classic pastel shades or use brighter colors.

• For pregnant women, stylists recommend high-waisted dresses or a flying skirt silhouette. Such a cut will help to beautifully emphasize the tummy and make the owner of the outfit even more feminine. The sleeve can be long, short or kimono. For decoration, lace, mesh, beads are used or an outfit is complemented with ribbons tied under the chest line.

For brides, a boudoir dress is also a necessary accessory. Models made in ivory, ivory, blue turquoise, champagne are very popular. But in this case, other colors are also appropriate, and if you want to add bright colors, then this will be quite an appropriate step. In such cases, designers suggest using powdery, blue, pink, lilac shades.

If you plan to organize a photo session in a boudoir dress, then you need to think in advance in what style it will be performed. The dress should be in harmony with the chosen style. Shooting can be organized in a studio or it can be the morning gathering of the bride to the altar, other options are also possible (of a more intimate nature). The transparency of the dress is chosen based on the style of the photo shoot. If the shooting is planned in the presence of bridesmaids or other people, the dress should be moderately frank. Shooting intended for the second half can be performed in a translucent dress made of tulle, the finest lace or chiffon. The classic style of a dress, made of satin or thick guipure, is suitable for filming in a pavilion or hotel room, outdoors in a garden, by a river or against a background of flowering plants.

To choose a successful outfit model, you need to take into account the nuances of your figure. The dress should emphasize the advantages of the silhouette and neutralize its shortcomings.

• Big breasts problem. It is decided depending on whether you want to emphasize or, on the contrary, hide this fact. You can accentuate your breasts with a deep neckline or neckline, and hide them with a flounce located above the breasts, or a yoke with a blind fastener.
• Wide thigh line. In this case, a fluffy multi-layered skirt, extended at the bottom of the dress, will come to the rescue. In contrast to the lush bottom part, the upper part must be made narrow, not attracting attention. A wide and richly decorated belt can visually connect both parts.
