Dresses in the Greek style are not subject to time: originally they were worn by noble ladies in Ancient Greece, then women of the Roman Empire, and after many years thanks to Napoleon's mood, dresses in Empire style were worn all over Europe.
Today they do not cease to be relevant due to simple, but elegant cut, which besides its beauty, has a practical advantage: the style of the Empire dress is suitable for absolutely any figure and does not hamper the movement.
These evening dresses are worn at various solemn events: for a wedding, prom, etc.
Evening dresses in Empire style
Today, the classic Empire dress has many options. And its greatest diversity is evident in the category of evening dresses.
Color requirements are not strict: this outfit can be bright colors:
- blue;
- black;
- yellow;
- red, etc.
Initially, dresses in Empire style were white or beige colors: so art connoisseurs conducted an analogy between the beauty of a woman and a majestic, stately column. Today this rule is reserved only for tailoring wedding and wedding dresses.
The cut of the evening dress of Empire is also varied: the overstated waist is not always preserved, although in the classical model the underline of the breast line is mandatory. Corsets are decorated with rhinestones and other stones or lace, adding a variety of textures.
Today the dress in the Greek style often has slanting lines: the laid fabric over the shoulder remotely resembles the style of the Greek toga and adds a note of authenticity.
Wedding dresses in Greek style
Of course, the wedding dresses are made exclusively in white, which adds to the image of innocence and purity. However, the solid white color needs decoration, so as not to look naughty, and for this modelers use some decor techniques:
- Broad tapes strewn with stones. They emphasize the line of the chest and can be of different colors, but most often a golden or silver shade is used.
- A corset, which is adorned with fabric assemblies. As a rule, it has slashes and is made of satin.
- Also in some models there are ruffles, which, though not a detail of the classic Greek dress, but "refresh" his look, making it more original. They have an oblique direction.
Very beautiful and solemn dresses in Greek style, with a train of light fabric - silk or satin. The length of the Greek wedding dress should be maximum: so you can achieve restraint and elegance of the image.
Cocktail dresses in Greek style
The cocktail dress in the Greek style has a wide variety of options: there are no requirements for length, fabric and style. It is enough only to keep the common features of the style: high waist and slanting lines. As a rule, cocktail dresses in Greek style cover one shoulder and are slightly shortened. The waistline is highlighted by a strap or sewn ribbon. Color design can be very diverse, but to maintain authenticity it is better to adhere to light colors: beige and white.
Some models have more modern elements - for example, oblique Basque. This adds to the image of rigor.
Ball gowns in Empire style
Ball gowns in Empire style should not have a train, and, moreover, today they can be shortened.
In a classical form, an Empire style dress is difficult to use for dancing, and so today such a ball gown is a kind of hybrid: the skirt is simplified and can be of any free cut, and the upper part is absolutely consistent with the Greek motifs: oblique fabric assemblages over the shoulder, accentuated waistline and pastel shade of the material.
