Strip is a completely unique print that has an amazing ability to correct absolutely any figure, and in different directions. Even the simplest striped dress can make a slender star out of a puffy beauty, and endow a thin, complex baby with such desirable forms. The secret of such wonderful transformations is in the width of the strip, its color and location on the model.
Fashion designers around the world call this print an old and good trend. The fact that this drawing is as old as the world is true. But one can argue about his kindness. Probably, not everyone knows that in the Middle Ages, executioners and women of easy virtue wore striped clothes. It was not until the time of Louis the Fourteenth that the long striped dress became extremely popular not only among noble ladies, but also among commoners. This event was a revolution in the history of fashion.
Modern designers work with stripes according to the season. Much more often it is used in spring-summer collections, but in winter it does not completely disappear withfashion catwalks. Most often, such a pattern moves to sweaters and cardigans. For example, the well-known sweater dress. It is almost never decorated with stripes from top to bottom: more often they become a decorative addition and are located locally.
But a striped summer dress can be made of fabric with any line: narrow and wide, vertical and horizontal, diagonal, etc. However, be careful, striped fabric is an insidious thing. It is worth positioning it incorrectly, and a quite decent figure will instantly turn into something shapeless. But with the help of such a fabric, you can achieve the exact opposite effect. You just have to know which strip suits you.
Experienced stylists recommend that women who are prone to fullness choose a striped dress with narrow vertical lines. Your choice will be successful if it is a combination of black and some contrast. This simple technique visually stretches the figure, making it slimmer.
Excessive thinness with the help of such a print is even easier to hide - just use a wide horizontal strip. If you think that your figure is disproportionate. For example, your top is too thin, then the strip can be combined. That is, place it horizontally on the top of the dress, and “let it go” vertically on the skirt.
It would seem that a striped dress (photo above) should look very predictable, but they can be "fitted" to any style. The first thing withsuch a print is associated - it is a marine style in white-blue, white-red combinations. In addition, laconic and short striped dresses are quite relevant for a sporty youth style.
This coloring has gone through a long history from forbidden to fashionable pattern, without which it was difficult to imagine any fashion salon of the nineteenth century. Coco Chanel made the stripe a symbol of rebellion, and Andy Warhol introduced it to the bohemian environment. Thus, this coloring has been relevant for very many years.
