Types of Dresses
Dresses
, being one of the most popular garments
of all time, are far too multitudinous in style to be named briefly. Some designs
, however, have stood the test of time and have remained popular (or have regained popularity) and are still around today! Let's take a look at some all time fan-favourites
:
- Sheath Dress: Picture a skirt that goes all the way up. Sheaths are normally tailored so that they form-fit the wearer. They usually have no sleeves or straps, so a snug fit is crucial!
- Pinafore Dress: Americans call this dress
the "jumper
," and in the winter, these can be bundled with many layers for warmth. In the summer months, they're perfect for throwing on over a t-shirt.
- Sun Dress: Made from light, breathable material and normally found in bright
,floral
or sunny patterns. Sleeveless. Cooling. Stylish. The sun dress is a classic.
- Mini Dress: A dress
with minimal proportions: the risqué brethren of the maxi.
- Maxi Dress: The older, more responsible cousin of the mini dress
, the maxi usually comes in a full-leg length.
- Wrap Dress: Popular across the globe and a staple of many cultures, the wrap dress
functions just like you'd think it would. A simple but elegant
look.
