Dress with a smell for over 40 years. Designer Diana Von Furstenberg called her invention "a piece of fabric with sleeves": a simple, feminine and practical dressing gown became a classic model. The peak of popularity of the style came in the 1970s and 1990s, but even today it can be found in almost every collection of famous fashion designers.
A variety of styles of dresses with a smell
Strict and sophisticated, ultra-short and flowing into the floor - the fashion industry offers thousands of options for a seemingly simple design of a dress with a smell. In the classic version, the female silhouette intersects strictly along the diagonal, and modern models have a more complex asymmetric cut. The first dresses were sewn only from “jersey”, and today, depending on the destination, they are sewn from virtually any fabric.
Dressing gown
The style has evolved from the usual dressing gown. Its characteristic feature is elegance and femininity. Unlike a dressing gown, the smell runs much farther and fits tightly on the belt.
Silk, cotton or denim are used to make a dressing gown. Femininity and charm of the model add belts, tied with a bow. Depending on the model, the smell can be attached with zippers, clips, buttons or fabric strings.
Knitted model is suitable for everyday wear: it is practical and comfortable, besides the fabric is good for experiments with a light cut.
Pick up a white dressing gown for a trip to the coast. For travel, you can choose a model more fun: sleeveless and with bright prints.
Denim midi dress with flared skirt will suit for summer casual wardrobe.
Velvet dress
Luxurious fabric combined with a loose cut - a playful and provocative combination.
The length of the floor and adjusted depth of the neckline allow you to hide the excess in the abdomen and hips.
Evening
A floor-length scent dress is preferred by many celebrities for social events and exits on the red carpet. The evening dress should be monophonic and made of flowing natural fabric: satin, silk, chiffon or jacquard.
Guipure inserts, drapes or ruffles look interesting. Preferred long or ¾ length sleeve. Dress in the floor with short flying sleeves resembles a Greek style: it will suit young and thin girls.
Cocktail dress for the exit should not be too long, just enough length to the knee, slight asymmetry is possible.
With sequins
Cocktail dress with sequins does not require a large number of additional accessories, it is better to choose shoes and purses in a neutral calm range. The same rule applies to manicure: French manicure is the best choice. Of jewelry, restrict modest stud earrings.
For full
Dress-robe is one of the best styles for obese women: the model visually pulls out the silhouette and neatly conceals flaws.
But there are a few nuances to remember:
- choose a dress according to your color type;
- Give preference to a single-color model;
- discard bright large prints;
- focus on the decoration of the bodice;
- for sewing, pick up a thick fabric that will allow you to pull off the excess;
- choose the length of the dress depending on the slimness of the legs;
- discard too tight sleeves.
Black
Black silk dress with a smell - a good choice for an evening out in the theater, on a date or social event. Flowing fabric keeps its shape perfectly.
For an evening out, combine a silk black dress with expensive jewelry, and for work in the office it will be enough to have just one discreet accessory.
Traditional smell: how to choose a dress?
Dress with the smell fits almost any woman. The silhouette wins due to the V-shaped notch: ladies who do not have a swan neck and slim proportions will find their pluses in this style. The neck will visually lengthen, and the shoulders will become less pronounced if the female figure is of the “inverted triangle” type.
The smell on the waist smooths the roundness and corrects the curvaceous shapes of the apple type. Discard A-silhouette models. The smell under the breast will further emphasize fullness. The smell on the waist should be firmly fixed, and the length of the product - slightly below the knee.
A slightly flared skirt with a straight or asymmetric hem will help to further emphasize the waistline. V-shaped neck focuses on the chest. Monochrome dress will fit slim girls with small breasts and expressionless waistline. The belt should be the same color and made of the same fabric as the dress.
What to wear
If you are not planning an evening out, we advise you not to overload the image with decorations. To get out after 6.00 pm, choose jewelry based on the following considerations: if the dress is with open shoulders, wear long earrings, and for a model with closed hands and a deep neckline, pick up a classic necklace. Sleeves ¾ require bracelets.
Models above the knee length fit only slim girls. Remember: the more open the legs, the more you should close the top and vice versa.
A short dress made of chiffon, silk or satin will be complemented with classic pumps or sandals of neutral shades. Choose a refined clutch to match the chain.
A short dress with a smell add feminine sandals with high heels. Complement the beach openwork or knitwear model with light monophonic sandals or body-colored slippers. Finish off your wicker hat and bulk bag.
In the cold season, knit models are combined with single-colored ankle boots or half boots. Women with a long neck can cover it with a light scarf.
If you pick up a dress with a smell for office work or business negotiations, give up large jewelry, bright colors, prints, short sleeves and an intricate cut. Choose a monochromatic pastel version of moderate length and combine it with beige or black pumps.

How much will the fabric
Measure the line of the hips. Add ¼ or ½ length to this value depending on the depth of the smell. The resulting value is compared with the length of the cut. If it turns out to be more, then buy a piece of cloth equal to two measured lengths. Do not forget to take into account 10 cm for processing. For products made of thick fabric pick up a long zipper.
