Turtleneck dress - create a unique look
The most feminine piece of clothing is, of course, a dress. And the most intriguing of all dresses is the turtleneck dress. Closed to the chin, it can be both incredibly sexy and homely, depending on the degree of fit, length, fabric. Let's take a closer look at the varieties of turtleneck dresses.
styles
Mini
Only girls with an impeccable figure and slender hips and legs can afford a short turtleneck dress! When trying on a narrow mini-length turtleneck dress, be sure to sit down, then raise your hands - the dress should be of such a length that nothing superfluous would be exposed during all these manipulations. After all, you don’t plan to just stand at attention in it, like a sentry?
Midi (to the knee)
The most optimal dress length is the midi length. Rather modest, acceptable for everyday wear, but at the same time exposing the most beautiful and slender part of the legs below the knee. When buying a midi-length dress, immediately think about what you plan to wear it with, the dress should not peek out from under a raincoat or coat.
Long (below the knee)
A long maxi turtleneck dress in knitted fabric emphasizes the smooth lines of your figure.However, it is fraught with the danger of looking like a monastic ascetic. If you do not pursue such a goal, pick up a dress with slits on the side or back, this, by the way, will add convenience to the dress. Avoid too gloomy and dark tones. Black lovers who do not want to give it up are advised to set bright accents with jewelry, a scarf or scarf.
Sleeveless
The sleeveless version of the dress looks very extravagant. The contrast between the fully collared neck and bare shoulders adds spice to this modestly cut dress. A turtleneck dress with an American armhole that also reveals the shoulders, such a thin jersey model is suitable for summer.
With slits
As a rule, turtleneck dresses have a narrow cut and often have slits for greater comfort. The side slit when walking exposes the leg, which is quite acceptable, given the completely closed neckline. The slit at the back is the most comfortable, in addition, it looks very sexy and mysterious. Do not get carried away and choose dresses with very high slits, so that you do not have to feel embarrassed later.
Noodle dress
A jersey dress with a noodle pattern is nothing more than an elastic band dress. It is with such patterns that needlewomen knit cuffs for sweaters. The undoubted advantage of a dress made of such jersey is that it always fits the figure perfectly, gently fitting all the curves of the body. However, this is also the minus of the dress - it will emphasize absolutely all the flaws. Therefore, for girls who have excess fatty tissue in the waist area, it is better to wear corrective underwear under the noodle dress, this will allow you to achieve a perfect fit and hide everything that you do not want to show.
