Do you still think that the now fashionable trapeze dress is an innovation in modern fashion? You are mistaken, because fashionistas wore outfits of this type half a century ago. The fact that this style did not go into oblivion, but returned to modern catwalks in a slightly updated and fresh form is not at all surprising.

A well-known saying says that everything new is well-forgotten old and the constant fashion cyclicality is the best confirmation of this. In connection with the sharply intensified popularization of vintage outfits, which is the trapeze dress, I would like to pay special attention to the fashion trends of the period in which this style gained extraordinary popularity.

A little history

The legendary 60s were marked by a real fashion revolution. The styles of outfits that came into fashion during this period excited the imagination of the public, because they were unprecedented before. Candid miniskirts and short shorts, knee-length dresses with maximally flared hems, an open neckline and arms - all this was a reflection of the brightness of young people, their fatigue from eternal prohibitions and an unsuccessful desire for freedom.

The girls tried to open as much of their body as possible within the limits of what was permitted, and they tried to make what remained closed as feminine and sexy as possible. Soft but expressive lines of the silhouette, allowing you to feel relaxed when moving, a seductive image with a slight touch of mystery - this is the real ideal of that time. It was in this free and very unstable fashion era that the a-line dress style, ideal in all respects, appeared.

Who invented

The A-shaped silhouette of the dress was invented by the young Yves Saint Laurent. Now the French fashion designer has already become a real fashion legend, and back in 1957, as a young but promising designer, he had just assumed the post of art director of the Christian Dior fashion house.

His first collection, released after just three months of work, created a real sensation. It was created based on the paintings of the famous artist Mondian and was decorated with abstract motifs from his paintings - colored rectangles and black stripes.

But what attracted special attention was not so much the unusual patterns on the dresses, but their non-standard cut. After dresses with a fairly narrow bodice and a flared skirt, a style that was narrowed at the shoulders and widened at the bottom became a real synonym for freedom.

Features and Benefits

The a-line dress from Saint Laurent was a sleeveless outfit with a round neckline and knee length. Its main feature was that the upper part, due to its tight-fitting cut, made it possible to advantageously emphasize the contours of the chest, and the skirt, which gradually widened towards the bottom, did not hinder the step at all.

This dress was not weighed down with decorative elements and belts, and for girls who previously had to tighten their waists in the tight grip of a belt, this was of great importance. They could finally breathe freely without worrying that the figure looked shapeless.

There is another version of the trapeze dress - fitted. This style is distinguished by the fact that the upper part of the outfit fits the silhouette, and closer to the waist it narrows slightly, forming the most feminine and seductive shapes. The lower part of the outfit expands again, repeating the contours of the legendary trapezoid.

Who is it suitable for?

A classic trapeze dress is ideal for girls with a boyish body type. This is when the waist and chest are not clearly expressed, and the shoulders coincide in width with the volume of the hips. These are the parameters that distinguished the English model Twiggy, Yves Saint Laurent’s favorite fashion model. But this style is also good because it allows girls who are not excessively thin to make their figure proportional.

Girls with an apple body type should choose an A-line dress that flares from the chest to hide a noticeable tummy. Women with curvy hips are also shown this particular style of this dress.

But for girls with small breasts, it is better to pay attention to dresses with pockets in the chest area or collars, but of the same cut.

Young ladies who are lucky with the contours of their silhouette and can boast of an hourglass figure type do not need to hide their silhouette behind an abundance of fabric. A short A-line mini dress will suit them. It is worth considering that even in the classics, women with ideal shapes look very seductive. But for girls with excessively broad shoulders it is better not to choose this style.

Popular models

The trapeze dress is so loved by fashion society that famous designers use this style to their fullest extent in their collections. In a slightly modified form, a dress from the 60s looks very good. Fashion designers decorate them with unusual decorative elements - lace, drapery, flounces. They experiment with lengths and textures of fabrics, offering models in which only the skirt resembles the standard trapezoidal shape. Girls benefit from such fashionable variety, because they can easily choose an outfit to suit their taste and figure.

With long sleeve

Models of such dresses are distinguished by very non-standard sleeves. As if succumbing to the general laws of the trapezoid, they have a slightly narrowed cut in the shoulder area, and then sharply widen to the very hands. In this case, the length of the outfit may have a shortened look, which, in combination with long sleeves and a narrowed top style, looks very unusual. The neckline in such dresses is usually closed and may have a slight slit. It is worth considering that warmer dress models can also be made with completely tapered sleeves, which are complemented by a narrow cuff.

With 3/4 sleeves

Quite a popular model of a-line dress in modern times. This sleeve length can be called optimal, because it allows you to feel comfortable in both very cold and hot weather. Evening dresses can also be complemented with sleeves of this length. In lace form, they give the image a very delicate and at the same time sophisticated look. There are also models with narrowed placket on sleeves of this length.

Short-sleeve

These dresses are ideal for creating a light and very romantic look. The concept of “short sleeve” in this case can be very vague, because the sleeves can reach the elbow, be a little shorter, as in the T-shirt version, or only slightly cover the shoulder. Models with sleeves - lanterns and in the form of wings - are popular. According to the cut, short sleeves can be either narrowed or widened.

Without sleeves

Dress models in the classic variation are also quite common. The shoulders can be surrounded by wide straps, as in the traditional version, or very narrow ones. In this case, the collar can also serve as a strap, which covers the neck like a necklace. Options for trapeze dresses with very thin straps, like a sundress, are also a popular phenomenon now. Sometimes, it is the line of the neckline and shoulders that serves as the main decoration area for designers.

Fitted

This dress differs from the classic one in that it elegantly frames the waistline, thanks to the narrower cut in this area. Unlike the traditional version, it can even be supplemented with a belt. This can be a very thin lacquered belt, only slightly emphasizing the already fragile silhouette, or a wider belt with a small buckle. This model suits almost everyone. The only exception is girls with a noticeable belly.

On the yoke

A dress with a yoke can be the perfect addition to any romantic look. In the case of an outfit with a trapezoidal cut, a spectacular gather can be located in the neck area, that is, in front of the strap or under the chest. This small but noticeable element allows you to correct some figure flaws - visually make your breasts more seductive or your rounded tummy less noticeable. A trapezoidal dress with a yoke at the waist is perfect for pregnant girls.

With frill at the bottom

A dress with a frill at the bottom is perfect for those who consider the classic trapezoidal silhouette to be too strict. A ruffle sewn to the hem of the dress will add more lightness, naivety and seductiveness to the look. In a shortened version, this dress becomes an ideal addition to your everyday look. In a longer one, the outfit looks pretentious and will fit well into an evening look. This outfit can even have a slightly asymmetrical skirt, which still does not lose the shape of the traditional trapezoid.

With a flounce at the bottom

The dress with a flounce differs from the previous version by a more flared ruffle, which is sewn to the hem of the skirt. This dress looks no less seductive than the previous one, but can hide the flaws of the silhouette much better. Excessive thinness of the legs will become less noticeable under the flounce, and the rectangular boyish silhouette will take on more feminine shapes. If the flounce is made from a fabric that differs in texture and color from the main outfit, then it will take on a completely different look.

High waist

This dress can transform your feminine image into a gentle one and do it unobtrusively. A high-waisted dress is suitable for women who want to hide excess volume in their silhouette, as well as for pregnant girls. The length of such an outfit can be completely different, which is only to the advantage of modern fashionistas.

With a collar

The classic model of a trapezoidal dress, which completely exposes the neck due to the absence of a collar, has acquired a slightly different look in a modern version. Now such dresses can be complemented with collars - clamps that visually enlarge the breasts. Models with stand-up collars allow you to slightly lengthen your neck, and dresses with small lace collars add a touch of romanticism to your look. There are also models of such dresses with collars, like on a shirt. The look in such a dress looks elegant but seductive.

With cut-off back

Such models are often called dresses with a surprise. The fact is that the front part of such dresses may be absolutely no different from the standard ones, but if you look at the back, you can see this very “surprise”. The cutout on the back can be very deep and expose almost half of the back, or it can be very small and expose only the area between the shoulder blades. Sometimes the neckline can be closed with a snake or buttons.

Length

But the situation with the length of trapezoidal dresses has always been ambiguous. No, the classic model from Saint Laurent can only be of one length – knee-length. But subsequent designers allowed themselves to play with length. Modern fashion designers are also guilty of this. Taking into account the fact that now there are no social restrictions regarding the length of dresses, you can find such dresses in completely different variations in stores.

Mini

Models that are more similar in length to a trapezoidal tunic are chosen by very young girls, and those that can boast of ideal silhouette proportions and slender legs. This outfit always attracts the attention of the opposite sex, but keep in mind that you should not get carried away with excessive frankness. If you choose a dress of this length, its upper part should be closed, as in the classic version.

A short

A-line dresses for the middle of the thigh are most often chosen by young and active girls. They make you feel light and comfortable even in the hottest summer period and create the lightest possible look. This outfit reveals the young lady’s legs for everyone to see, so before choosing it, make sure that your legs are enviably slim and perfectly straight.

Midi

An adult woman, a young girl with a good figure, and a young lady who is slightly plump in the hip area can afford to wear a dress of this length. The skirt of such dresses always has a flowing texture, which makes the silhouette as elegant as possible. If the dress has a classic, closed-top look, it can easily become a business look and fit into any dress code. More modified versions of dresses of this length will be an ideal addition to an evening, romantic and everyday look.

Long

This dress reaches the length of the young lady’s ankles and reveals her shoes to everyone’s eyes. That is why it is better to choose the most elegant and stylish shoes for such an outfit. These can be heeled sandals, shoes or standard ballet shoes, but the main thing is that they match the texture of the outfit.

To the floor

A floor-length A-line dress is ideal for a chic evening look. Models made from light and flowing fabrics are suitable for an everyday look. This length can be called the most universal, because it allows you to hide any figure flaws, is ideal for young ladies of any age and gives free rein to experiment with combinations in the form of other wardrobe elements.

Current colors and prints

Since the style of a trapezoidal dress does not particularly accept the presence of various decorative elements, designers give free rein to their imagination when decorating dresses with various kinds of patterns. This season, geometric, striped, floral and polka dot prints are especially popular.

Gradient patterns that combine several shades from the same color scheme are also at the peak of popularity.

Animal print has returned to the fashion stage in the form of leopard print on an A-line dress. Which shades are the most fashionable?

Black

The perfect match for a little black dress is an A-line outfit in this shade. This dress will be a lifesaver for any modern woman. It will easily fit into a business look if you choose a slightly elongated midi model, it will be an excellent option for evening wear, being in the form of a maxi, it will look good in an everyday look if you choose a shortened model, and it will add romanticism to the image if it is very short.

White

This shade has always been and will be relevant. It is this that allows you to give the image of aristocracy and purity. A trapezoidal dress of this shade will make the look as light as possible. This outfit can be worn to any event and chosen as the main clothing element in the case of a casual style.

Red

Dresses of a fatal shade have always excited the imagination of men. This color is good because it is bright and often does not require additional details. This means that if you want to wear a red trapezoidal dress, you won’t need to think about what jewelry to complement the look, because they simply won’t be needed.

Blue

The noble blue hue will help you make your look more fresh. Outfits of this shade are usually chosen by conservative and calm people who crave constancy and stability. This color harmonizes best with dark hair, blue eyes and fair skin.

Pink

A dress of this shade is best chosen by blue-eyed blondes. And not because this color is somehow capable of characterizing the girl’s naivety and her degree of intelligence, but solely because this shade is ideal for such young ladies in terms of color type. And yes, you won’t find a better dress for a romantic date than a pink A-line dress.

Blue

Blue color is associated with the crystal purity of sea water and the vastness of the sky. That is why it is better to choose blue dresses for young ladies. Trapezoidal outfits look equally good in this color, both in an elongated version and in a shortened one. This color looks great in a gradient transition between rich blue and white.

Yellow

A sunny-colored dress always lifts the mood, not only of the girl who wears it, but also of everyone around her. This color is ideal for the summer, when nature is full of colors. Nowadays, it is very fashionable to complement such outfits with blue belts, so if you choose a fitted model with an a-line cut, be sure to experiment with the look.

Gray

This dress will fit perfectly into the office dress code and help create a harmonious business image. Combining it with clothes in classic colors, you can look presentable in any office. By combining dresses of this color with blue clothes, you can look fun in your everyday look. Brighter color combinations can even help create an evening look.

Green

The green hue is often called a shade of wealth and for good reason. If a girl chooses a dress of this color, she will definitely look like a million. This dress will go perfectly with wardrobe elements of other shades - black, brown, red, orange, white, coral.

Fabrics

But the materials for sewing trapezoidal dresses are always chosen differently. The choice depends on the season for which the outfit is designed and its functional purpose. Thus, evening outfits are made from higher-quality and more refined fabrics, while everyday outfits are made from light and breathable ones. What materials are dresses made of most often in modern stores?

Knitted

A-line dresses made of thick knitwear are ideal for colder autumn and winter periods. The material has a thick enough texture to keep the body warm, but at the same time it is light enough. Knitted warm dresses are often complemented with oversized collars. There are also models made of light and thin knitwear. They are ideal for the warm off-season.

Woolen

This dress is simply made for a cold winter. The dense texture of the wool will not allow the body to freeze even in the most severe frosts, especially if the dress is 100% wool. Those who do not like the scratchy texture of fabrics can choose softer varieties - cashmere, mohair, flannel. Remember that woolen products require special care, the details of which are always indicated on the label.

Knitted dresses have become super popular again. And this is not surprising, because they favorably emphasize the lines of the female body, and at the same time do not restrict movement. A variety of types of outfits allows you to choose the right option for yourself. A knitted dress yourself will be absolutely unique and perfectly tailored to your measurements. Dresses - jumpers for women - short models, perfect for every day. Dress – tunics are indispensable for meetings with friends or everyday shopping. For tall, thin girls, it is better to choose a long, floor-length sheath dress.

We invite you to consider the models, their detailed descriptions and knit a dress for yourself.
