Evening dresses in the Greek style

Ancient Greece gave the world not only the discoveries and works of great thinkers, but also beautiful legends, realistic myths about goddesses and priestesses who were inevitably dressed in flowing clothes. Designers could not resist the beauty of the robes of Greek goddesses and decided that modern women are no worse. Now, evening dresses in Greek style persistently regain their places in the wardrobe of the modern lady.

Greek dress can not be confused with other styles, because only such an antique side is characterized by unique features:

• the fabric is only light and flowing;
• the lines are smooth, slightly outlining contours of the figure;
• a cut - the free, not creating constraint in the movements;
• waist - necessarily inflated.

The combination of all these elements forms the basis for the creation of a Greek dress, which is often sewn in the image of a tunic. Such images can still be attributed to the “Empire” style, in which the main excretory characteristic is the waistline that is too high to the level of the chest and the skirt that starts immediately.

Modern designers firmly took up the Greek dress, made their changes, created a number of new images, added details that were not there before. Even asymmetry has successfully wedged into the Greek evening style. Each of these innovations is successfully embodied and gives the dress some zest.

We found good reviews of dresses with a draped top or bottom element. Chiffon is superior to all other fabrics. The embodiment in the model of a petticoat year makes the dresses so chic that they instantly understand delighted young ladies.

As for the entire upper part of the evening dress in the Greek style, the variations are huge and simply unreal many:

• straps are single, double, of different widths;
• complete lack of straps;
• the presence of sleeves;
• festoons of lace, embroidery and rhinestones, placed throughout the neckline and on the inflated belt;
• decoration and lacing of ribbons from the back.

The presence of the plume greatly transforms the girl, adding to the image of royal grandeur. If the dress has lace on top, the image immediately acquires romance and tenderness.

In the evening dress, made in the Greek or Empire style, the bodice is often the main element for decoration. Designers do not stint and try to place rhinestones, beads, sequins as more refined as possible. Even Swarovski stones are used.

This season models, consisting not of one layer of fabric, but of several, are gaining their popularity and relevance. The beauty of this skirt overshadows everything you could see before.

A Greek evening dress looks original, short in front and long in back. This is a kind of modern interpretation of style.

Even ball gowns are now made in the Greek style. There are several mandatory points that should be present in this outfit:

• bust compacted, expressive, with a copious amount of decorative elements;
• wide chiffon skirts;
• unobtrusive flow around maiden figure fabrics.

Even for pleating there is a decent place, especially if it falls and completely covers the legs.

There are several unique outfits in the world of women's fashion that suit everyone and smooth out the problems in the figure. For example, Indian attire is a sari and, by the way, a dress in Greek style.

1. Curvy shapes will hide behind draperies, which even for a lean figure will be an opportunity to add a few kilograms.
2. Having an hourglass shape you can never worry about - the perfect image is guaranteed.
3. Pregnant women often choose dresses made in the Greek style for good reason. High waist and lightweight fabrics - what you need for comfort and freedom, which is maintained during any movement. Even a small belly is not so visible under a freely falling skirt.

You might think that Greek dresses are already so feminine and cute that no element can make them even more perfect. And no! Experiments with a length showed completely different results, presenting shortened Greek dresses to the whole fashionable world.

Choosing a length that reaches to the knee or descends a little lower, the girl seeks to show her legs, the beauty of which does not allow them to hide behind long skirts.

In the shortened models, there are still loose skirts, which in overwhelming cases are constructed by chiffon. On the waist line, which also remains too high, may be present jewelry.

Long sleeves wedged even in this style, creating a practical autumn version of the dress from a purely summer version. Shoes for a shortened dress do not have to have a heel, and not even the smallest one. You can focus on the situation and choose from boats or an average heel. A clutch bag fits any look, but especially this one.

The Greek style in evening fashion dictates its rules not only with respect to style, but even the choice of fabrics is significantly limited to three positions: satin, silk, chiffon. It is the fabric, successfully chosen and perfectly matched, that will serve as the highlight that should be present in every outfit, especially in the evening.

Where, if not in a Greek dress, there should be rhinestones of different colors, intricate lace elements, beads, embroidery, sequins, stones, and indeed, everything is beautiful, elegant and fancy. From all this range of decorations, which serve as decor, you need to choose no more than two elements, so that simplicity is protected and there are no runs with ease of fabric.

If we are dealing with the classics of the Greek style, the shoes should certainly be light: sandals, thin ribbons or straps.

With low growth, it is possible to consider the option of sandals, but they should also be light, without heavy and rough elements. Shoes, wedges and massive heels have no place in the Greek image.

But when choosing jewelry you can slightly dilute the light image with a massive bracelet on your hand or with a gold set (earrings and pendant). The hairstyle should be truly Greek: headband, braid or miniature tiara. A small handbag will not be superfluous.

Do not think that a dress with an antique character is an exclusively summer option that can be tried on in sunny weather.Will not allow to freeze the shawl, stole, which can be fixed with a brooch. Even a coat or raincoat can be combined with a gown in the Greek or empire style, if their length is not shortened and the style does not have coarse lines.
