Atlas is a versatile material that today makes it possible to use it both for an evening out and for everyday wear. For a long time, elegant outfits made from this fabric were obscenely expensive. However, in the modern world, every girl can afford to buy satin dresses. We will talk about short and long models, about styles and cut options, about beauty and about "satin" elegance in this article.
History
Atlas means "smooth" in Arabic. This incredibly beautiful fabric is characterized by an even silky sheen. The main difference is high strength and density. Atlas, however, like other silk fabrics, began to be produced in China more than 2 thousand years ago. For a long time, Chinese craftsmen kept the method of producing this material a secret. But gradually neighboring countries revealed the magic of production. This fabric uses a special type of weave: weft threads are not visible on the front side of the fabric. That is why the front and back sides look different. On the face"fabrics - a beautiful shine, and on the wrong side - roughness.
Any clothes made of satin (and in the old days it was expensive) could only be afforded by very rich people: the nobility and the clergy. However, with the advent of synthetic fabrics in the 20th century, a variety of satin appeared on the shelves. Synthetics managed to replace the expensive and rare material satin. Although silk as a type of satin is still one of the most expensive fabrics.
How to choose the right style?
A special approach when choosing a dress is due to the fact that satin is a specific fabric. He can in one fell swoop both emphasize the aesthetic appeal of a woman, and completely destroy her. Dressed in a satin robe, thin and slender girls will look even more elegant, but full ones will look even fuller. This feature of the "character" of the atlas can be advantageously used by the owners of a lush chest. So this desired part of the body looks even more elegant and appetizing, as the satin shimmering in the light visually increases the volume.
Full girls should refrain from pleated dresses. If you do not have a magnificent bust, then you can effectively present this “flaw” in the form of drapery in this part. Those who have narrow hips should pay attention to the tiered bottom.
The main garnish for a "satin" look is the right choice of accessories to match the dress.
