Bathing dresses - what is their highlight?

It would seem that a bathing dress has long been a relic of the past. Bathing suits worn by women a century and a half ago were very little reminiscent of modern miniature swimsuits. To take on the healing water treatments, ladies had to put on a variety of things, including a full-length bathing shirt with long sleeves and a collar, pantaloons and caps. At the same time, bathing clothes were made of dense fabric, which hid the contours of the body even when wet. Weights were put into the hem of the bathing dress so that it did not rise in the water and did not open its legs.

Over time, women's swimwear became more and more laconic. The most minimalistic version of such an outfit is a bikini swimsuit, which is just a few tiny pieces of fabric. However, in recent years, one-piece swimsuits made in the form of a short dress have become increasingly popular. Today's article is devoted to this original variety of beachwear.


Features of swimwear-dresses
A bathing dress, or swim dress, is a one-piece swimsuit with a skirt. The bodice of a leotard can be absolutely any - a classic sports top with two straps, a bandeau, a bustier, V-shaped, "heart", etc. The styles of skirts are no less varied. On sale you can find models with a short winged skirt, with a pleated skirt, with a wide flounce and many more different options.




The skirt can start under the bust, at the waist, or at the hips. On sale there are mini and midi length swimwear dresses.


Who is it suitable for?
Traditionally, it is believed that a swimsuit dress is intended for plump girls.Indeed, one-piece swimsuits with a skirt are great for those with curvaceous shapes. They do a good job of masking the most problematic areas: the hips and abdomen. In addition, one-piece swimwear has a slight slimming effect and helps to hide skin imperfections such as stretch marks after childbirth.

However, such a swimsuit is not contraindicated for other types of figure, on the contrary.
- Best of all, a bathing dress looks best on girls with an hourglass figure: it well emphasizes a thin waist, rounded hips and chest.
- If you have wide hips, you should choose a dress with a straight skirt, but a voluminous top.
- Owners of small breasts and narrow hips, on the contrary, need a fluffy skirt and a bodice decorated with ruffles or drapery.



Fabrics
Bathing dresses are made from the same materials as regular swimwear. The choice of fabrics is not that great, as swimwear must meet several stringent requirements.

So, the fabric for a leotard dress should be:
- dense;
- easy;
- opaque;
- elastic;
- wear-resistant;
- Breathable;
- quick drying.



Bathing outfits are most often sewn from synthetic materials with the inclusion of natural fibers. A swimsuit dress can include: nylon, microfiber, polyester, lycra, polyamide, etc. Clothes made from these materials are well tolerated by exposure to water (including chlorinated water) and ultraviolet rays.

Views
Short swimsuit dress in terms of its appearance, it most of all resembles a classic one-piece swimsuit. It has a small, "symbolic" skirt that barely covers the buttocks. This option is most often chosen by young girls with narrow hips.



Long Skirt Swimwear looks more like an ordinary summer dress. The skirt usually reaches mid-thigh, but on some models it ends at the knee. With the help of such a swimsuit dress, you can easily mask the fullness in the hips or the appearance of cellulite.


Leotard sundress - This is one of the most popular types of swimwear. It is distinguished by a bodice with thin straps and a loose skirt starting under the bust. In such an outfit, it is comfortable not only to swim, but also to walk along the beach, participate in sports games, etc.

Popular colors
Black and white
Black and white swimwear dresses remain in demand for several fashionable seasons in a row. Nothing sets off a beautiful tan like these two colors or their combination. If you are an adherent of the classics, we advise you to purchase a bathing dress in monochrome colors.



Colored
Summer is the time when you want to endlessly delight yourself with bright colors. The upcoming vacation is a great reason to buy a new swimsuit of unusual, beautiful colors. Check out the bold swimwear in wine, navy, turquoise, peach, lavender and lemon shades.





With bright prints
Those who do not like monochromatic outfits will surely like swimsuit dresses with an original pattern. Brave and determined girls choose a predatory animal print, romantic natures - floral and floral ornaments, travelers - ethnic patterns, and intellectuals - abstract images.




How to choose a plus size bathing dress?
The dress is an ideal swimsuit option for chubby girls who are embarrassed to expose certain parts of the body. The owners of curvaceous forms should choose a bathing dress, based on the characteristics of their figure. Often, the main advantage of corpulent young ladies is their luxurious breasts. Such richness must be emphasized by means of a bodice with a beautiful neckline.

A swimsuit dress with an A-line silhouette will help to hide the fullness in the hips and stomach. In this model, the skirt starts under the bust and ends at mid-thigh level. The skirt is trapezoidal, slightly flared.It does not fit the hips, but it also does not create unnecessary volume.



Selection Tips
- There are models of swimwear dresses designed specifically for overweight girls. They have special inserts that have a corrective effect. With their help, you can "tighten" problem areas.
- The pattern on the swimsuit can both visually spoil the figure and bring it closer to the ideal. For a slimmer look, choose a bathing dress with a vertical pattern or color-contrasting side panels.
- A swimsuit dress with a bodice with voluminous decorative elements will help to visually enlarge the breasts. This can be a fluffy bow, fringe, drapery, sewn flowers or frills.
