Surely all women of fashion have heard of such a style of dress as "dress-Tatyanka." Have you ever wondered why such a given style of dress was called “Tatyanka”? The most plausible version is the one in which it is stated that this style is named after the main character of the famous Alexander Pushkin’s novel “Eugene Onegin” - Tatiana. It was in this style that costumes were made for theatrical actors of the female roles of the ballet “Eugene Onegin”.
Now dress-Tatyanka is a huge success with fashionistas. This is due to the fact that this style is universal - it can be worn by women with different body shapes and constitution. The second reason for its versatility is that dresses of this style can be completely different in terms of their purpose. It can be a cocktail, casual, everyday and even business attire.
Features
A clear distinctive feature of the dress "Tatyanka" is that its bottom has folds, starting from the waist. This form of dress resembles an hourglass shape. Fluffy skirt makes the figure more feminine and tender. The upper part of the dress, including the sleeves with the neckline, are different. They may be short, long or absent altogether (which makes the shoulders open). Closed dress can be with a V-shaped or round neckline.
Who is going to?
As already noted, dresses, Tatiana are universal. They are suitable for girls with different shapes. A slender girl will turn this dress into a delicate doll. For holders of an hourglass-like figure, it will emphasize dignity and make the image more feminine and elegant. Also, the dress will well hide puffy hips in women with a triangle-like figure.
When choosing the length of the dress it is necessary to take into account that it visually shortens the growth of the body. Therefore, the lower fair sex is better to buy models with a short skirt. We do not recommend dresses of this style for women with an apple-shaped figure, for the reason that a full skirt will only add volume to their figure.
Fabrics
The dress with this style can be sewn from a variety of fabrics. The main thing is that the fabric is soft, and it can easily be draped into small and large folds. Summer models of dresses are sewn of silk, chiffon, fine linen, lace or chintz.
Varieties
"Dress-Tatyanka" can be worn at any time of the year. The main thing is that the fabric is suitable for the weather. The material may have different prints: polka dots, stripes, flowers, geometric shapes, abstraction, etc., but it is not necessary that the design should cover the whole outfit. For example, the upper part can be sewn from a single-color material, and a skirt from a checkered one. In this case, the waist can be decorated with a stylish belt or a beautiful bow. The skirt can be sewn from one or more materials.
To create extra volume, you can wear a petticoat under the skirt. In addition, dresses with double skirts are extraordinarily beautiful. The bottom layer, in this case, needs to be made longer, and trimmed around the hem with a lace or other decorative fabric. Despite the fact that the dress has a rather simple cut, it can look chic, solemn and expensive, if you choose the right accessories for it.
What to wear?
"Tatyanka" can be worn with wide or narrow belts, with a bolero, with fitted blazers, sweaters, leather and denim jackets. As outerwear raincoats and a coat of a free cut perfectly will approach.To create a business image, a checkered dress with a closed top and a magnificent bottom is perfect. If the dress has open shoulders, then you can add a beautiful shawl to the image.
Accessories
The choice of accessories for the dress-Tatyanka, above all, depends on the color and style of the dress. In business style, it is better to limit yourself to a stylish bag or a laconic clutch of dark shades. Necklaces, necklaces, bracelets and bows here will look ridiculous. However, festive attire in this style can be decorated with a long string of pearls, bracelets and a stylish clutch. Accessories must be the same color or different tones of the same color. However, to the bright side, we strongly recommend that you select accessories of muted shades. For a romantic dress, you can add a decorative flower on the belt or shoulder.
Footwear
"Dress-Tatyanka" can be worn with a variety of shoes. But it is much better to combine it with high heels or platform shoes. They help maintain a straight posture, and the shape of the legs will be presented in the best possible way. These can be beautiful and elegant shoes, ankle boots, sandals, wedge sandals or small boots.
