Linen Dresses

Linen dresses are a real salvation, not only for tropical countries, where summer reigns all year round, but also for our unstable climate. And let our hot months only a few - they can compete with the United Arab Emirates!

Material Features

Flax is one of the few natural fabrics that are still in use. More often flickers in shops and boutiques are products made of polyester, polyamide, acrylic, etc. But even relatively natural viscose can never compete with flax. Absolutely purged, non-irritating to the skin, flax remains a universal favorite for more than one millennium.

When sewing a dress, flax plays an important role - one must take into account its peculiarities when wearing. It easily crumples and practically loses its value, if you put it on the lining.

Today, producers often supplement flax with various other fabrics, such as a cotton or viscose - to make the products more difficult, "noble".

Italian linen dresses are usually made of finer flax. They, of course, look more delicate, but most likely, they will shine through, which means they demand an irreproachable figure.

Also note that in linen dresses almost never occurs in the composition of elastane, so be especially careful when choosing the size!

Fashions of linen dresses

Among modern linen dresses, there are several basic models:

1. Dress-case. This model is a find for business women. The style, in whatever scale it was executed, nevertheless, looks quite strict enough to carry it to work. Wear with boats and a laconic monophonic bag.
2. Dress-robe . Universal model for all occasions. Stylish linen dresses are found, as in the youth brands such as Zara or Mexx, and more status - Max Mara, Escada and others. Choose the right model and quality of the material - and in this dress you will be comfortable both at a meeting with clients and on a walk by the sea. Wear with low speed or with high "gladiators", if growth allows. Favorably look with a leather or braided belt.
3. Sarafan. The most common dress model is made of linen. Its length can range from "above the knee" and up to the ankles. Models on the floor often have an open back. Light and feminine, this dress is the undisputed personification of the summer. There are as more sports models with pockets - for active women, and with frills - for cocktails.
4. The dress is free cut. This option is good for both slim girls - to add extra volume, and for complete - to hide the shortcomings of the figure and will not restrict the movements.

Thanks to the naturalness and naturalness of the material, these dresses are associated with something folk. For example, linen dresses in Russian style were devoted to whole designer shows.

Initially in Russia flax was sewn long, in the floor, sarafans, on wide straps, cut from strips of fabric, about 40 cm wide (wider than we could not weave). But today, to create an ethnic mood, it is enough to get a linen dress with embroidery.

Often women's linen dresses are decorated with delicate details - this adds to their lightness and femininity. However, be careful - a dress made of flax with a lace in excess of the latter can easily turn from a girlish dress into the contents of a grandmother's trunk!

Combination of flax with other clothes

Very important is with what to wear a linen dress will be appropriate, but with what - no.

1. White linen dress is worn ONLY with beige linen. You do not need to dress under it white - it will still be visible.
2. Under linen dresses do not wear black suede or leather shoes, as well as a black leather bag. Flax - light and summer fabric, will look out of place with such "winter" items of the wardrobe.
3. "Heavy" in the structure of the fabric is also poorly tied with flax. Therefore, when choosing a jacket for an evening for a linen dress, a knitted jacket, a delicate, knitted blouse or a soft cardigan of neutral shades is best suited.
4. Complete the linen dress with a denim vest - so your image will become much more interesting!
