The most relevant models today are non-standard styles that are able to attract the attention of others. Such, of course, is a skirt-shopenka For an unusual look in everyday life, it fits perfectly, creating an atmosphere of a fairy tale around you.
A bit of history
Due to its airiness, the Shopenka skirt resembles a tutu very much. Such an association is not in vain, because it got its name from the theater stage.
The works of the great Frederic Chopin, put on the ballet stage, never did without fluffy air skirts just below the knee. The costumes of the dancers were hidden by slender legs under a multi-layered skirt, only slightly opening them up during pirouettes.
Modern fashion trends, as you know, love to borrow interesting models from art and return to the old, and we see the result of this today not only on the ballet stage, but also on the catwalk.
Who is suitable?
When choosing a model, shopenki need to be guided in the first very much on their body size, because not everyone is wearing such a skirt. Only on very slim girls, she will look great.
Visually, the skirt adds volume, and if you think that your forms are far from ideal, then it is better to consider another version of the skirt, for example, a single-layer bell.
Length
This model is sewn along the cut of the skirt or the bell, most often from light and airy tulle.
The length of the skirt is selected depending on the destination. A short one is perfect for a fun party, shopping or a beach holiday, and a model knee-deep or a little longer would be appropriate to put on a romantic date.
As a working option, the skirt-shopenka almost does not fit, except for offices, where the dress code is very free or completely absent. In this case, fit the length of the midi.
The length of the mini has its drawback. Given that this style involves many layers, they tend to bounce when moving, which may not look very aesthetically pleasing. Such styles are suitable only for very brave and young girls who are not shy of their bodies.
Another nuance: a short skirt is worn only with slender legs. Unfortunately, the owners of O-shaped legs can only afford a length not shorter than the middle of the calf.
Colors
Since the shopenka skirt is a representative of the ballet world, then it should have the appropriate color. As a rule - white, but delicate pastel shades are also possible - beige, opal, pink and the like.
But today, all the stylists in one voice shout about irregularities in clothes, and that is why multi-layer tulle skirts of bright flashy colors began to appear on the catwalks - purple, green, yellow, blue.
If you prefer to stand out from the crowd and amaze others in their bright way - these models are created just for you.

Master class: how to sew from tulle?
If instead of buying a finished product you prefer to sew a skirt yourself, then there is nothing easier! To collect a skirt-shopenku is not difficult at all.
With the right choice of fabric and true measurements taken, you will be able to make an amazing skirt with your own hands, and it will in no way yield to store models.
The fabric from which Chopin is sewn is very thin tulle. Its advantage over other materials is that it is able to give lightness and pomp to the finished product, and its texture makes the fabric virtually non-lacing. When choosing colors it is better to give preference to soft pastel tones.
To build patterns take the model of "sun" or "half sun". The pomp of the product depends on the number of layers, so the amount of fabric you need to buy the appropriate one. The radius of the full circle is the length of the skirt, and the diameter of the inner circle is equal to the waist half-grip.
After the pattern is built and the details of the skirt are cut, it remains up to the small thing - to put everything together.
For the belt, you can take a piece of elastic knitwear, the length corresponding to the waist girth. After trimming the edges, all the layers of the skirt are sewn onto it one by one with an inner circle.
To ensure that the skirt does not slip from you, a wide elastic band can be fitted on all the seams.
The lower edges of the fabric can not be processed, since the tulle is not showered. For a special chic, you can sew on the belt from the outside a large bow in tone to the skirt or make a tie.
That's it, your wonderful skirt is ready!
